Hand-pumped water and pit toilets define this rustic county park campground on Crooked Lake's shoreline. Sites sit close to the water with clear walking paths down to the lake, where campers can launch boats or filter water directly from the source when needed. The campground provides electric and sewer hookups for RVs alongside walk-in and boat-in access options.
Staff maintain clean facilities and manage trash collection regularly, though the water pump occasionally goes offline. When this happens, camp personnel provide five-gallon water coolers as backup. Sites offer decent privacy and adequate space for tent or RV camping. The boat launch provides direct lake access for fishing or paddling activities.
