Buena Vista County Park Sunrise Campground operates on Storm Lake from April through October, providing both drive-in and boat-in access for campers. The facility includes standard amenities like restrooms, showers, drinking water, and WiFi, with picnic tables and fire rings at sites. Firewood is available for purchase.
Storm Lake supports fishing for perch, walleye, crappie, and white bass, with boat ramps positioned around the lake's perimeter. The campground connects to walking trails that circle the lake area. Weekend crowds increase significantly compared to weekday visits, particularly when day-use visitors arrive for water activities. For a different setting, Larson Lake Co Park sits northwest of the area.
