Wenks Landing Recreation Area

With reservations available through Recreation.gov for $12 per night, Wenks Landing Recreation Area provides drive-in and boat-in access along with basic amenities including flush toilets and running water. The Fish and Wildlife Service manages this established campground featuring sites with water hookups, though campers should note that sites 6 and above lack level ground suitable for tents or car camping.

Site 1 stands out as the most level option, positioned near the boat ramp with a large grassy area, though its proximity to the parking area may affect privacy during busy periods. The facility includes a water spigot for filling containers and allows campfires with firewood available on-site. Campers can expect AT&T cell service with 1-2 bars and should prepare for bugs even in early spring months.

Deserted, Buggy, But Nice!!

I thought I’d stay here because it said it was free on the app: IT IS NOT FREE. It’s cheap though! $12/night and you can book on the recreation.gov app.

If you want to tent camp or sleep in your car, only book sites 1-5. The others don’t seem to have flat spots for much of anything. Perhaps hammocking would work!

Upon arrival when I noticed the not-flat site I had booked, I easily switched my site via my booking to site 1, which is the best for car sleeping and in my opinion the best site at the campground. It is set off from the others and has a large flat grassy area. If it is busy it may be less desirable as it is right on the parking lot, but I’d still take it. That being said, I didn’t see a single soul while I was there.

Flush toilets, running water, and a spigot to fill up are provided. There is a boat ramp right by site 1. It was quite buggy even in early April, but I managed to keep moving and make a fire so the smoke would help the bugs stay away.

It is easy to find, and there is ATT cell service, 1-2 bars.

I’d definitely stay here again and hope to have time to explore more!
