Wooded, Lake Views

Old campground along pretty lake in a national forest. Clean; the grounds are well maintained. The campground is confusing. Campsites are not marked. Looks like it was initially developed as a tent campground. There are shared vehicle parking pads; sites are not actually next to these - need to walkin a little. RV campers can probably park on the parking pads and walk to nearby picnic tables. Some sites have metal fire rings and lantern poles near picnic tables. Otherwise, it appears that previous campers had open campfires. Hammock camping is possible in a few areas. Clean his/hers vault toilet with tp and hand sanitizer. Water pumps scattered throughout campground; water was turned on duirng my stay. Sites in the middle of the campground are level; others slope down a little toward the lake. Sites are grass surfaces. No tent pads. No RV driveways to individual sites. Quiet, peaceful. No fee. Day Use area with fishing pier nearby. Partial shade; solar charging and Starlink access may be a challenge. Sporadic AT&T and T-Mobile service. Overall, this is a nice campground. I was the only camper during the nights I camped hare. A local resident stopped by to check up on me.

Quiet and well-kept

We only stayed one night but we will be coming back. There are only a couple of sites big enough for large rigs, but my 30' motorhome fit easy enough. There is no fee, a toilet and water available.

We had a beautiful sunset and sunrise with only nature sounds to listen to.

Nice primitive camp site

Really relaxing site if you’re looking for primitive camping.  The surround area was clean and beautiful.   The abandoned camper seen in some older photos has been hauled away.

Small park with pavilion

This little park next to the campsite is a nice hangout spot shaded by the mature pines complete with a little pavilion, trash cans, bathrooms, fishing dock and boat ramp. Cool fog in October as well!

Shaded lakeside view

Quiet spot with heavy tree cover - don’t expect good Solar charging or satellite. Fantastic lakeside views, especially in the morning. Water hook ups next to most spots and primitive toilets in the middle of the camp area.

Paved roads and semi level RV spots - great spot to stop for a few days!

Nice quiet place

We went right after the Covid shelter in place order was lifted. Several others already there but nice and quiet. Fishing kayaking was fun. Walking was nice.

This is a primitive campground with NO AMENITIES. There is a very small turn around at the end. There is a fire ring and suppose to be a picnic table and lantern pole that we did not find. Along the way you will pass the trailhead for the Wild Azalea Trail. A beautiful spot that is rather wild with wonderful lake views. The track in becomes just that"a track." No trash, no pit toilet, no water. You can find trash and a toilet near the South Shore boat launch. There is a trashed travel trailer that is continues to take abuse. Gives this primitive site into a trash dump. Wish is that it be remove ASAP

Peaceful and quiet

Spent a couple days at this campground. We were the only ones there and had the place to ourselves.  Water available near every site.

Bathrooms close by but no showers. It was hot so we were deciding whether to go or not.  It had to be (or feel like) 10 deg cooler with the breeze of off the lake. Would definitely recommend!

SiteNot numbered but closest to the lake.

Secluded primitive camping

Great primitive camping right by the lake. A few good spots to park boats/boards on the bank steps away from the campsite. Restroom with no sink or showers. Running water on site. Boat ramp is large concrete. Free to camp. Great spot to pitch a tent and get away from it all

Very nice park

It’s a really nice place to camp. They do have restrooms but they need more attention put towards them. They have a big pavilion with a massive grill if your just interested in day use only. The fishing piers are well built and very nice. No showers and it’s primitive camping only...but I would recommend this park.

Not the greatest place

Overgrown and neglected. I drove the miles to visit, so I stayed anyway. It can be done! Would be cool spot if it was cleaned and properly maintained.
