Large sites accommodate RVs up to 70 feet at this utility company-managed campground situated between Collins and Laurel. The property centers around a small lake surrounded by tall trees, with most sites offering full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. A beach area provides lake access where visitors fish regularly.
Sites feature concrete picnic tables, fire rings, and good separation from each other, though privacy remains limited in the wooded setting. The bathhouse includes flush toilets and showers that reviewers describe as clean, plus a laundry facility with washer and dryer available for $1.50 each. "All the things you need-electricity water fire ring and concrete picnic table," notes steve W..
Cell service varies by carrier, with AT&T working adequately while T-Mobile shows weaker coverage. The campground stays busy enough that reservations are recommended, particularly for larger rigs. A playground provides additional amenities for families. The grounds receive regular maintenance from staff who reviewers consistently describe as helpful.
Campers can also explore places to camp around Ovett for additional options in the region. The combination of full hookups, lake access, and spacious sites makes this a practical base for both short stays and extended visits.
