This Fish and Wildlife Service campground provides free drive-in camping on open terrain beside a lake. Anglers can fish directly from the site, while paddlers have lake access for kayaking. The open layout offers little natural shade but allows easy setup for RVs and larger camping equipment.
Campers seeking more sheltered spots can explore Poague Campsite #1 or Poague Campsite #3, both located within a mile of this lakeside location.
