The lake is currently drained because they are working on the dam. Made reservations online. Pretty much all the sites I thought would be easy to get into were reserved, so I chose this one. Website said it was good for 53' unit and 2 vehicles. We have a 36' 5th wheel and it was a little difficult to get in. Someone previously knocked down the site number post. I also had a problem with the post for site 31 being in the way. I finally just backed in by driving on the grass. It only fits the 2 vehicles if each one has 2 tires in the grass. It turns out that all of those reserved sites online were empty. There is hardly anyone here. It would have been nice to have one of those angled for better entry. Other than the empty lake and difficult backing in it is a nice park. Standard COE fare.

Arrived at the park a little after 11pm and the gate was locked with a sign saying “Closed 10pm-6am.” On the website it said “first come first serve.” Very disappointing, ended up driving another 30 min and booking a hotel.

This is a very popular camping area with very good fishing it is fairly well maintained with showers and bathrooms hookups for RVs tents etc mostly quiet and reservations can be made online. Close by many other camping areas on Enid lake, a general store, the hatchery, floating dock, fishing Pier on the channel, playgrounds, Beach, basketball, and corps of engineer field office.
ScoutThe campground hosts are excellent in this campground. It is well maintained and has many choices of sites from woodland to lake side.
RangerThis seems a very typical NFS campground. Lots of spots some with electric and water and a number which are primitive. It is rustic. The electric service has an open ground situation so my camper wouldn't take it which was fine but a lot of the year could be an issue. There are bathrooms and private showers. I did not need or use the facilities but they were clean and seemed functional. I am literally the only camper here which frankly I think is wonderful. Tons of places to walk and a lot of nice views of the lake. I will definitely be back and use it for an overnight on my way out or back to my winter location.
GuideStopover in January. Left one day early because of imminent weather on our route home. Otherwise would have stayed longer. Beautiful trees, lake, and drive. Enid Lake is big with lots of walkable shoreline. Bathhouse extra large and clean. It even smelled good if you can believe that. Large sites with elbow room. Our site 27 had great views with full Hookups. Site 30 would be optimal site with view and pull through.
Traveler
Campsite was great. Beautiful lake and not crowded. Night time was quiet. Really enjoyed the views and relaxing environment. This is a great location to disconnect, but do not expect the amenities other sites offer (bathrooms, electricity, water, etc.).
ScoutQuiet, peaceful and cheap. No shower or bathroom facilities. Water has plenty of pressure, and runs clear after a few seconds. Surprisingly nice weather and no mosquitoes or gnats. Free firewood, and portajons on-site
TravelerHardly any other people around. Very run down and lots of bugs. Stopped over here for a quick camp spot on a road trip, and it was fine for this. Wouldn’t go out of the way to come back
TravelerWe really enjoyed our stay here. We had a great view of the lake from our site. Bathroom and Shower house felt clean. There were a lot of gnats on the sink counter but something I would expect from outdoor bathrooms so not a big deal. We did not see any type of park rangers or attendants on our stay. The only problem that may have solved was when we arrived at 5:00pm, our spot was reserved starting at 4:00pm, there was still someone parked in our spot. I kindly let them know we had the space reserved and they said ok and left within 20 min. Not a big deal just inconvenient. If they wouldn’t have left I’m not sure how the situation would have been resolved with no attendants. We drove around the rest of the campground and there were a lot of great spots with views. I did see a small swing set and basketball goal in a field but no real playground for kids. I did not see any walking trails or any activities but you can walk around at the lake. So if you have kids you may want to bring bikes, games, and other things to do. The campground stayed pretty quiet the whole time. At the front of the campground you do get slightly more traffic and noise of other campers coming in and out so if you want more privacy and quietness the back of the campground would be a little better I’m sure. Everyone we encountered waved, drove slow, and seemed friendly tho so we didn’t mind.
We will definitely be back to stay here again and look forward to it!
ScoutReally like the area. It’s got campsites right on the lake, a day area, boat ramp. It is falling into disuse and disrepair. The Forrest service has signs that it is going to be decommissioned. It is a Fee area. It’s 1$ for day use and 7$ for camp use. Bring cash.
GuideWe had a site right on the lake, with plenty of shade and full hook ups. Beautiful scenery and quiet.
Guide
Decent camp ground if the grounds were better maintained, lots of trash at all of the sites. We tent camped and the tent pads were ok nothing to brag right home about but functional. Your also nut to butt with all the other sites, talking some are less than 10ft apart. Also there was a mondo dump left in 2 of the toilets at the rest room near our site.
ScoutSome sites are over grown and not maintained. One bathroom away from the sites in the "day use" area. Mostly fisherman. The lake has motor oil/ fuel running on the surface. The docks nice, wide with bench seating. Time has been alright to the paths and roads. Lantern poles are available at all the sites. Possibly ring worms in the water, not sure about all that, however there is a drainage site that turns into a stream with a nice little "hole" to swim or fish in. One site has a short cylinder fire ring with a height adjustable griddle. One site has a dock right in front of it, could park kayaks and or a boat, not sure how deep the water is in terms of what boats. Wonderful sunset, most sites are around 100-50 feet from the water.
NF camp, so $7 for regular people, and $3.50 for those awesome folks with an interagency pass. Concrete boat launch.
Enjoy, busy on the weekend/end of week...
Guide
stayed for 5 days in late april. wonderful experience and would go back in heart beat. off the beaten path, which we love. well kept, wonderful camp host. we didn't use the shower house / restrooms, but everything we saw was nice. definitely would go back. do your research on the campsites. some are pretty short and will not accommodate long rigs.
Scout
Whether you’re staying short term or long, it’s a beautiful spot worth the money. They have a beautiful lake that does have clear water, showers and bathrooms. As well as washers and dryers!! For only 1.50 a piece.
GuideDecided to find a close, full hookup campground to do a shakedown trip on our new rig. Wanted a water vies, so we decided to try this place out. Spaces are all extremely level, some longer than others. Picnic area and fire pits are all kind of randomly placed. Some are in a good spot on the camp side of the trailer, but a few are on the complete wrong side of the camper. Recently updated to full hookup sites for all sites. They are nice connections as well. They were installing a new lift station to keep up with the demand after heavy spring rains proved to be too much for the last one.
Bathrooms are older but clean.
Only real complaint is that after heavy rains, there is standing water everywhere. Some sites are almost unusable with a mote all the way around you.
All in all, it’s a great place to get away… especially for full hookups at Corps prices.
TravelerThis campground is 5 miles west of the Natchez Trace, and we stayed one weeknight as we were heading south. Some of the sites are reservable and others are first come. I don't think there is a bad site there. The shower and bathroom areas were clean. I suspect it fills up in season, so best to make reservations.
GuideThis place is a step back in time of sorts. Very old and quaint. For the price, it's perfect. Very secluded, wooded and a fun place to explore. Check it out!
ScoutQuiet wooded area with water and electricity. There are bath houses that have washer and dryer’s available so bring your quarters and laundry soap. Disc golf looked nice and there we two playgrounds.
AT&T service was sill strength.
Scout
When you arrive the office is closed, just a phone number to check in. Very poor signage, sites are poorly marked. No lights for late arrivals. Branches down in the roads and sites. Roads had poor drainage and large puddles. Sites are paved and fairly level. You may need a long potable water hose, 50+ feet. The bathhouse was heated with hot showers and clean toilet stalls. This is a fishing hotspot with lots of boats and folks fishing from the shores. Sardis Lake is impressive and attracts hundreds of sportsmen. This is an inexpensive and convenient location if you have modest expectations.
TravelerEnjoyed a quick, cost effective, full hookup overnight stay. Reserved same day thru recreation.gov app. Site was marked and had fair amounts of room to back in. Site was level enough without having to add any blocks. Site 1 dips down on the entry side where the picnic table and fire pit was located, so not much room to put down any outdoor items close to the rig. View was beautiful but the shoreline is a little tricky to get to. Good shade coverage and the area appeared to be cleaned and maintained. Large grass area for our fur babies to enjoy and explore. Only downside was Verizon coverage was unreliable and spotty without a booster or external antenna. Sometimes 1 bar and had about 3 to 5 down with .1 to .5 up when using the antenna, had a zoom call that lasted for an hour without issue. Without the antenna, it was hit and miss with several dropped calls. Some spots may vary more with service. Would visit again.
ScoutBig lots with full camper and everything hookups and recently updated sewer system. Very clean and incredible views.
LegendPuskus Lake campground is a nice campground and could be better but parts are starting to hurt from low use. The forest service is looking at removing the campground due to low use. On my visit I was the only one their with the exception of two others fishing out on the lake. Only one of the three outhouses where open and that was the one by the boat launch. All the campsites have picnic tables, metal fire rings and metal poles for hanging your lantern. The campground sit in a nicely forested area just above the lake. While this might be considered somewhat isolated in the area, if this campground was in Montana it would be packed. This is a very nice campground in need of a little TLC and more visitors. Get away from the crowds at those corp of engineer sites and come here for some solitude while you can.
GuideThe campground is a little too well lit at night which can get annoying. Sites are moderately spaced with some closer than others. 55 should not exist. It was wedged in between two others. Our our neighbors in 56 were great. While our neighbors in 54 were locals who didn't care about campground rules. They had too many visitors on their site and were drunk and loud into the wee hours of the morning. Drove the campground and only found 1 or 2 sites that we would consider in the future. It's safe to say that we will not being going back.
TravelerWe arrived early evening and the people are very friendly. Beautiful level rv pads with good amenities. Restroom and showers are good and maintained.
ScoutFun little quick trip to paddle around in kayak, fish & enjoy great meal over grill
