    Corney Lake South Shore Campground

    Wooded, Lake Views

    Old campground along pretty lake in a national forest. Clean; the grounds are well maintained. The campground is confusing. Campsites are not marked. Looks like it was initially developed as a tent campground. There are shared vehicle parking pads; sites are not actually next to these - need to walkin a little. RV campers can probably park on the parking pads and walk to nearby picnic tables. Some sites have metal fire rings and lantern poles near picnic tables. Otherwise, it appears that previous campers had open campfires. Hammock camping is possible in a few areas. Clean his/hers vault toilet with tp and hand sanitizer. Water pumps scattered throughout campground; water was turned on duirng my stay. Sites in the middle of the campground are level; others slope down a little toward the lake. Sites are grass surfaces. No tent pads. No RV driveways to individual sites. Quiet, peaceful. No fee. Day Use area with fishing pier nearby. Partial shade; solar charging and Starlink access may be a challenge. Sporadic AT&T and T-Mobile service. Overall, this is a nice campground. I was the only camper during the nights I camped hare. A local resident stopped by to check up on me.

    Corney Lake South Shore Campground

    Dejected & Rejected

    FEE: FREE 

    FCFS 

    318-473-7160 

    This is a primitive campground with NO AMENITIES. There is a very small turn around at the end. There is a fire ring and suppose to be a picnic table and lantern pole that we did not find. Along the way you will pass the trailhead for the Wild Azalea Trail. A beautiful spot that is rather wild with wonderful lake views. The track in becomes just that"a track." No trash, no pit toilet, no water. You can find trash and a toilet near the South Shore boat launch. There is a trashed travel trailer that is continues to take abuse. Gives this primitive site into a trash dump. Wish is that it be remove ASAP

    Saratoga Landing

    Major Sunsets

    Fee:$13.00 

    Sites 17 paved with water and electric 

    BEWARE: Alligator 

    Very quiet campground nestled along the side of Millwood Lake. Flush toilets and showers, boat ramp, fishing dock, fishing pier, pavilion, bank fishing and great for getting the kayaks in the water, pedestal grill, fire ring, fish cleaning table, picnic tables, trash Millwood is set in a dense forest of hardwoods. This was another major surprised. I would not have expected this wonderful campground down the country lane sitting right on the lake in a nice, flat "small" area. This area is heavily wooded and sites are spaced out. The campground can handle a bit larger rigs but they do need to watch out for tree limbs. Verizon and ATT
