Electric motor boating and fishing draw many visitors to Lake Lincoln Campground, where 150 electric sites with water hookups spread across a wooded setting beside the lake. The campground accommodates RVs up to 60 feet, though several campers note that sites can be short and unlevel, requiring careful positioning and leveling blocks for larger rigs.
Two clean bathhouses serve the campground, with reviewers consistently praising their condition for a state park facility. Jeremy K. found "clean restrooms and showers" during his stay, while others note the facilities stay well-maintained even during busy periods. Sites closest to the water—particularly 40 and 41—offer lake views but sit in full sun most of the day, with a grassy area and Trail 1 between the campsites and water's edge.
The lake provides the main recreation focus, with boat rentals available for jon boats, canoes, and paddle boats. "CLEAR water, a lot of water activities going on," reports Shelly S., though electric motors only are permitted on the water. Six hiking trails range from easy to moderate difficulty, with the longest stretching 3.7 miles through the park. A swimming beach operates through Labor Day, after which the camp store reduces its hours significantly.
The campground sits directly across from Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, making it a convenient base for exploring regional history. Sites fill quickly on weekends, especially during special events like concerts at the outdoor amphitheater, but weekday availability remains good. Winter camping is possible year-round, though water gets turned off at individual sites during cold months, requiring campers to fill tanks at designated spigots.
