One of our favorite local spots!!!

Our first campground and we loved it. Great view overlooking the lake. Nice campsites with plenty of space! Good hiking. It was just my husband and I with our doberman and we had a very relaxing weekend.

quiet

a nice little campground on Hurricane Lake. the restrooms are clean. the tent sites have running water and the rv/tent sites have water and electric. very quiet expect for the frogs. a good place to fish where they built a dock out in the water so if you don't have a boat you can still fish away from shore.
