Rustic but worth it

We stumbled on this campground when Ocqueoc's first come first serve sites were full. This campground is also first come first serve but way more sites. The lower site is where we stayed and literally had a waterfront site. The upper has HUGE SITES and is shaded better, but cant see the water. There was a picnic table and fire ring and vault toilets. Very clean and cant beat the view! We stayed in site #4, but all the waterfront sites were amazing. Sand bottom lake, and the park beach was a short walk from the site. Wish I could reserve, but def would go back.

Very nice sites on Lower Campgrounds right on the Black Lake shore

This campground has an Upper and a Lower. I stayed at the lower which has campsites right next to Black Lake. The sites were great and the grounds had all amenities. The view is wonderful and being right on the edge of the lake is really serene. It was $15 dollars a night which is a little high for me and you have to keep dogs on a leash which I also do not like, but I understand it is a camp for everyone and caters to boaters for sure. I enjoyed my stay and have to compliment the staff on upkeep as the grounds were clean, the restrooms were clean, it just seems like they take good care. I would definitely go again. Boaters and fishers should love these Rustic Campgrounds
