Owen Lake is ok

This is a state forest campground located a few miles down a back forest road west of McCarthy Beach state park. It is a good back up for overflow from the state park, or an alternative for those who want access to McCarthy Beach but prefer a quieter more rustic camping experience. Water tap and outhouses provided, no showers or hookups. Many sites along a nice little lake shore
