Lakeside campground near store and restaurant

College Campground is one of a handful of palaces to camp along Huntington Lake. It’s within walking distance to the store & restaurant. True to it’s name it was definitely a party zone at night.

Smaller campground

It’s not as large as a few other campgrounds in the area and that’s a good thing! Bathrooms are near by each spot and are clean often. They also have a private beach and an extra little parking lot of more than one car per campsite. Each site comes with its own fire pit and picnic table. The fire pit has an adjustable grill as well. Each site also offers a bear lock box. This has been my favorite campsite so far here. The lake is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen.

Beautiful Lakeside Campground

This campground was an absolute gem.  

  • Right on Huntington Lake, and only about 10 or so sites so there was not too much noise.  
  • Able to walk right down to the lakefront.
  • Marina nearby to rent fishing boats/poles.  We rented an aluminum boat for 4 hours one day for $60 and went out fishing on the lake.  We boated to the island in the middle to picnic and have some lunch
  • Shop nearby for any supplies
  • Hikes within a short drive
  • Check-in was not at the campsite, which was a slight inconvenience
