Description

We are a family run campground with lots of space to play in. Our private 90 foot deep, spring fed lake is wonderful to swim, fish and play in. To keep our lake pristine, we allow electric motors and human power only. There is a nice sand beach and a swimming raft. We also offer rentals of fishing boats, pontoons, paddle boats and canoes. For out of the water fun, we have a sand volleyball court, horseshoes pits, children's playground, and trails for hiking, & biking.

Great for large groups

This is a family run business and they take a lot of pride in keeping the grounds clean and safe. Lots of families come here and that is how I was introduced to it. The fishing is great and the community feel is awesome and the way camping should be done!

So much fun!

We came up here with a bunch of friends and all of our kids as a group. We had three campers and a tent and they accommodated us with no issues.

This is a relaxed and mellow place and I'm sure the seasonal campers appreciate visitors being the same. It certainly felt like a family, while we checked in we were offered a piece of cake because someone there had a birthday and why wouldn't you have cake?? Awesome!

The site we shared was clean and very well maintained. The lake is privately owned so the wonderful fishing is only open to guests and there is very good fishing there.

We showed up with a ton of kids from ages 1 to 15 and they played, and swam and rented boats and hung out in the gift shop and I'm sure they pestered the wonderful people and they took it like champs. They were amazing hosts in every sense of the word.

The showers and bathrooms weren't the most modern but they were very well maintained and very clean and so much better than others I've used.

There is also a dump station as you exit so we didn't have to make another stop when we left. This is such a big perk!

We will be coming back here.

We enjoy this place

Bent Trout Lake Campground is a beauty. They have tent camping with hookups at times. There is a great, well-maintained lake which in turn makes the beach just as nice as the lake itself. Pristine waters with great piece of property surrounding it. Friendly staff and win-win for family’s and others alike.

Family Friendly With Lots to Do

Absolutely love this campground! They have RV sites and tent sites a private lake with swimming area and fishing/boat/water toy area. There's a little store with all your basic supplies and where you can rent different boats and water things and a rec area with pool table and games. Lots of campground activities to bring everyone together. Their own private firework display the week of the 4th.
