Thousand Hills Camping

The Thousand Hills campsite it great I have camped here on multiple occasions using a tent and a pop-up camper. They offer basic and electric sites. All the sites are a nice size and many provide shade as well which is nice during the hot summer. All the sites include a firepit, lantern holder, and a picnic table. There are multiple waterspouts throughout the campsite so you never have to walk far to collect water. There are also multiple outhouses within short walking distance of all the sites, they are clean but they have no lights so if you need to use it during the night you will need to bring a flashlight or lantern. The main bathroom however, though it may be further away then the outhouses for most sites, it is not unreasonably far away. At most it is probably a 5 minute walk from the sites that are further from it, and the walk is quite easy. The main bathroom has lights, outlets, toilets that flush, sinks, and several showers which you can control the temperature and are nice for camp showers. There is a camp store down at the marina where you can get firewood, food, and camping supplies. You can also rent pontoons, kayaks, canoes, and stand up paddle boards for a decent price. If you rent anytime before noon Monday-Friday you can rent boats for half off which is a great deal. The park has a nice free beach which you can drive to or access through a trail which starts at one of the campsites. The park has two playgrounds and there are many trails, some that are light and easy, some moderate, and a long one that goes around the lake. Which has a backpacking campsite. I have not used the cabins here but they look like they are nice and they have easy access to the lake and docks right next to them for easy access to your boat.
