Stuck between a fairly busy road and the slough

Squeezed between the slough and the road, a campground awaits. Close enough so that one side of your campsite is against the road. The sites were not mowed super recently so the greenery was about 6” tall in spots. Evidence of recent rain was found in the small ruts in the one roadway. There are no trails or even a sidewalk by the road. 

This campground isn’t that enticing but it’s nice to know that there are options if everything else is full. On Labor Day weekend there weren’t any campers - this was enough to send us further down the road. Loud Thunder is just down the road and might be a preferable place. 

We did see people parking in the day use lot and launching their boats for a morning of fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Andalusia Slough located and how do I access it for camping?

Andalusia Slough is situated alongside a slough (a wetland area) with a road running adjacent to the camping area. The campground is positioned such that one side of each campsite borders the road. Access is via a single roadway through the property, which may have small ruts after rainfall, so vehicles with low clearance should proceed with caution. It's recommended to contact the managing agency for specific directions and access information before your trip.

What fishing opportunities are available at Andalusia Slough?

The slough likely offers fishing opportunities typical of wetland environments. While specific fish species aren't detailed, the proximity to water suggests potential for freshwater fishing. Anglers should bring appropriate gear for slough fishing and check local fishing regulations and license requirements before visiting. Consider contacting the local wildlife department for current fish stocking information and seasonal recommendations.

Are there any camping facilities or amenities at Andalusia Slough?

Andalusia Slough offers a basic camping experience with minimal amenities. The campground features primitive sites positioned between the slough and the access road. The area is not consistently maintained, with vegetation sometimes growing to about 6 inches tall between mowings. Expect a rustic experience without developed facilities. Campers should come prepared with all necessary supplies including water, food, and waste disposal options.

What is the best time of year to visit Andalusia Slough?

The optimal time to visit Andalusia Slough would be during drier seasons, as evidence of rutting from rainfall suggests the area may become muddy during wet periods. Late spring through early fall likely offers the most comfortable camping conditions. However, summer visits may mean dealing with taller vegetation if maintenance is infrequent. Always check weather forecasts before your trip and have contingency plans if conditions are too wet or otherwise unfavorable.
