Ottawa SFL sits within the Ottawa State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area, providing primitive camping access for anglers and wildlife watchers. The campground features pit toilets and requires campers to pack out their own trash, with no electric hookups or water available on-site. Reviewers note the wooded setting blocks traffic noise, while bird calls and bullfrog sounds carry across the water. The Willow Loop tends to see light use, with day-use fishing visitors coming and going while overnight campers often have the area to themselves.
