Eagle Campground

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.

Tons of open space

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.
