Palisades Reservoir

There is a few sites free up to 3 or the large site up to 5 nights. Beautiful sites, fishing, and a boat ramp.

We stayed up to the limit of five nights. Vault toilet close to the entrance well stocked with tp. Many spots to choose from whether you’re a solo tent camper or have a big group with RVs and rec vehicles, you can stay close to the water or hide near the trees. Good water access for kayaks and fishing. You get a little road noise, but didn’t keep us awake. Great spot!

Quiet and beautiful. The water was low when we arrived, but we could see the water from our spot. We picked an area up in the tall grass, but several people including large trailers were set up on the shore. There are so many spots to set up here that you can really enjoy a quiet evening.

Driving by, this ace stole our heart so we had to stop. It's not got the amenities that some would want, but for us, it wasnt an issue

Ultimate lake camping; bring your boat for wakeboarding, tubing, or just relaxing. Even human powered vehicles can be enjoyed; especially close to shore. So much to explore! There are so many places to get out and camp, many of these dispersed camping areas include vault toilets at the entrances, although not much else besides a boat ramp. Some of them are better than others, so be sure to check it out before launching your boat. The ground near the reservoir can get very silty and muddy if there has been recent wet weather, you risk getting your vehicle stuck if you back in too far. Even the dirt roads can get that way - but pay attention and you'll be fine. There were several toy haulers and RVs that made it in and made it out without incident; my group managed to get in and out ok too. 

In late May, it still gets cold at night yet there are mosquitos in this marshy area. They're not too bad, but if you're sensitive to the bites be prepared. I was fine in long sleeves and pants, they mostly left me alone. Fires are allowed most of the time, unless there is a red flag warning. Its your responsibility to know what isn't allowed, there are typically signs posted at the entrances if there are restrictions. Pets are fine too. I think the camping limit was 14 days, but that may have been at the site we chose. Others may be less. 

We stayed at one of very many sites along the reservoir. With 70 miles of shoreline, you're bound to have your own unique experience.

amazingly beautiful. campground was great
