$14 - $35 / night

"Love the lake, spacious campsites, and there is a trout lake right up the road!"
LegendNice spots, some with a lake view and big sites somewhat private. Clearly a fisherman's campground with hidden little bays to park your boat close to your site. Amenities are getting older but still a nice stop. Sandy beach for kids.
ScoutWe arrived on a Thursday with only one other group here, today is Friday and at 2:30pm, we are now the only ones here. The pit toilets are clean and well stocked, the day use area is beautiful!!! Access to moor your boat at a few sites, though it is down the hill from your actual campsite, which is no problem as they have stairs/paths down to them. This beautiful park seems to be very underutilized as it is July, going into a weekend, and all we hear are the birds and critters!!! PERFECT
GuideWhat a gem! I was able to back to the water to have a gorgeous view from bed! It was so quiet last night, although the beaked neighbors get pretty chatty early.
There is a large puddle and so many mosquitos.
Is say there's comfortly room for eight campers or a small group.
My signal rating may be higher than normal as it's on an Intsy Connect antenna. My phone is getting 1 bar ATT.
GuideThis is a free dispersed camping site in the state forest with lake access. Large enough for multiple campers or a small group. There are four rings and a picnic table as well as a sandy boat launch.
ATT is usable enough that I probably won't try Starlink, but there may be enough clear sky.
The road in is good, but gets narrow after you turn off for the spot.
GuideParking on the dirt road pull off next to the highway, nothing too special. Short walk to a view but there isn't a view from the road.
GuideThis campground is on a fairgrounds by a race track. Thursday nights and sometimes Saturday nights if there are races it's noisy and dirty. Sites are nice with gravel pads and grass. Lots of room to walk the dog. Bike trail close and horse shows to watch. Lake with swimming and fishing pier right across the street.
ScoutWe tent camped and appreciated the clean facilities, activities for kids to do, and close to great fishing lakes (Bay Lake & Borden Lake).
GuideThis campsite really surprised me and exceeded my expectations. I simply was looking for a campground with a shower, and this definitely delivered that and so much more. Every single campsite has potable water and electric hook up, which I don’t need since I don’t have a camper, but it does come in handy. I was able to charge my E bike battery. Something I would not have been able to do Without it. The town is very small and has a few amenities. But this campsite is delightful. Campos is readily available to assist you and also sells firewood at a very fair price. There is a beautiful aluminum dock for campsite/public use. You are allowed to fish here and if you catch fish, there is a fish cleaning station that is Crisp and clean.
TravelerAt this time of year this camps, mine is wide open. It’s right on the lake. There is actually no one else around. Nice big spots.
