No big RVS here

Near the boat launch to Eagle Lake. Some sites first come others can be reserved.

Around Eagle Lake there are 5 campgrounds, one walk in only, one group only and three others that have dry to full service.

Eagle campground is older and sites are shorter so no large rigs.

All the Things!

This is a very nice campground; one of several at Eagle Lake. This campground has all the amenities you could want. Lots of space in the tall trees that provide plenty of shade, picnic tables and fire pits. Camp host present to keep things quiet. Nice large bathrooms with flush toilets. This spot is close to the lake and the marina.

Tons of open space

We love this campground because of all the open space and you don't feel like you are right on top of your neighbor. Great place for groups.
