Memphis Lake State Rec Area

We like a primitive camp with pit toilets and basic water. This camp was a great stop off of I-80, further out than the closer in crowded RV parks. First come first serve, it was 10% full on the last Thursday in June. Great little stocked fishing lake with sites all fairly close to the long northern shore of the lake. Redwing blackbirds, geese, and lightning bugs tucked in between the corn fields. We camped in #19 which was in a dark spot between the bright peach streetlights on either end of the campground. Much better than we expected to find for just a utility stop. Highly recommended! Memphis sleepy little prosperous town, Ashland bigger with sweet downtown area

This is such a nice and clean campground!  There were lots of mature trees to camp under, and we were also close to the water.  Our campsite came with a picnic table and fire ring.  We went on a nice weekend the first of April so it was "off season". The price was $10 a night.  The game warden drove around often checking to see if anyone needed anything and people were following the rules.  The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there weren't any scenic walking trails that I found, but there was fishing and a small playground if you have children.  Overall we will definitely return!

We camped in the primitive area which is provided a picnic table and fire ring. There is an area that they are cutting trees down I'm guessing to make more camp spots. Prices vary by where you camp at.
