Beautiful Lake

This lake is amazing — clean and with a sand base. 

Camping isn’t great, as it’s limited and close to others. If you’re looking for remote spots, this is not the place. 

That said, this is a reservoir and a wildlife management area, so it’s understandable.

Nuda sholls

Nuda sholls campground at calamus state recreation area is a nice little spot to setup for a few days and enjoy the 4,500 acre calamus reservoir. There are roughly 30 sites in this particular area. Half are first come first serve and the other half are by reservation. All sites are electrical only. There is a nice modern shower and bath facility to utilize if you want to conserve your fresh water tank. Toilets are free and it only costs $1.25 for a 7 minute hot shower. My family and I have created many memories here and hope to make many more
