Access is noted as rough, so tow vehicles and rigs should be prepared for uneven road conditions. Fishing and hiking trails give campers activity options directly on-site. Showers, drinking water, toilets, and a dump station round out the amenities. Those exploring campgrounds near Somerset will find this seasonal site one of several clustered around the lake, alongside Mississinewa Lake - Miami Recreation Area nearby. Pets are allowed, and reservations are available.
