The 10 mph speed limit on Coon Lake keeps motorboat noise to a minimum, creating conditions that favor paddlers and anglers over water sports enthusiasts. Chase Point Campground sits on open terrain with scattered trees providing partial shade rather than dense forest cover. Sites accommodate RVs up to 110 feet with electric hookups, though several reviewers note the campground works better for RVs than tents due to the exposed layout.
Most sites offer lake access within walking distance, with a boardwalk system connecting to fishing docks and swimming areas. Casey J. found the "swimming beach was small but the water was the perfect temperature" during her June visit. The main swimming area requires a walk to the other campground section, though campers often swim near the closer docks. A fish cleaning station operates near some sites, and the park prohibits outside firewood to prevent invasive species.
The Chase Point Trail draws consistent praise from visitors, running along the narrow peninsula that extends into the lake. Jenna C. noted the "super cute trail close to our site, lots of nice wildflowers and scenery" during her September stay. Hikers can walk the ridge trail to the peninsula's tip, while backcountry sites are accessible via moderate hiking trails for those seeking more remote camping.
Access roads can present challenges, with multiple reviews mentioning rough conditions that may concern drivers of low-clearance vehicles. The campground operates on a reservation system with nightly rates ranging from $24-34. Facilities include restrooms, showers, and a dump station, though maintenance quality varies by season according to visitor reports.
Chase Point works well for RV campers who prioritize lake access and calm water activities over dense forest camping. The Lodge Campground offers an alternative within the same park system for those seeking different site characteristics.
