Open field hillside camping near a fishing lake

This campground has walk-in only camping but it’s right next to where you park. It’s a quiet place in an open field surrounded by forest. Choose a campsite under some trees if you like. Vault toilets are up the hill. Garbage cans are plentiful.

Deer run hiking trail is right in camp and gets you a bit of a hike.

There is lots of fishing opportunity here. Spring lake is long and shallow. They allow pole fishing. We saw people fishing from boats as well as from nicely designed pullouts along the road.

Be ready for a long slow drive in to the campground. Follow signs that direct you to the camp office. That’s where the camping is.
