Description
State Park
The campground is adjacent to the Hay Lake Public Landing. The campsites are considered primitive, designed to furnish only the basic needs of the camper. The campsites consist of a cleared area, fire ring, and table. Vault toilets, garbage cans, and drinking water are available. All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis for a fee. Highlights: Hay Lake campground offers a swimming beach and water access to Hay Lake, which is known for panfish, crappie, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye. Many of the campsites are located lakeside and have access to hiking and mountain bike trails. Hay Lake Campground is a great alternative to the more developed and heavily used Savanna State Park.
