The honor system check-in process sets the tone at this lakefront campground, where campers stop by the office for an envelope, select their site, and complete payment via dropbox. Hermitage Area Campground spreads across wide, spacious grounds within Pomme de Terre State Park, with many sites positioned directly along the lake for water views. The campground accommodates RVs up to 67 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections.
Loop 3 provides heavy tree cover, while lakefront sites offer breezes that help moderate summer heat. Site 223 sits level with natural shade and backs up to an old road that serves as a safe play area for children to bike and walk. The lake access lies just beyond this former roadway. "Hiking, boating, playground clean bath house," notes Lauri C.. Camp hosts maintain a friendly presence throughout the grounds.
Vault toilets and shower facilities show their age, with some reviewers noting maintenance challenges during peak season. The camp store functions primarily as an ice cream shop rather than a full supply outlet. Nearby options include Hermitage State Park Campground and Pittsburg Area Campground — Pomme de Terre State Park for comparison. Reserve ahead during busy periods, as waterfront sites fill quickly.
