Anglers and paddlers can access Upper Pigeon Lake directly from this dispersed campsite, which includes a boat launch alongside the standard fire ring and dual picnic tables. The site accommodates RVs up to 25 feet with level parking that extends at least 35 feet, though the unmaintained access road off Dixon Lake Road presents challenges. The final approach features uneven, sandy slopes that require higher clearance vehicles and confident maneuvering skills.
Beyond fishing and kayaking on the lake, campers can explore hiking, biking, and equestrian trails in the surrounding area. For those wanting developed amenities, Cut Foot Horse Camp offers a more structured camping experience nearby.
