Anglers and boaters find direct lake access at North Area Campground, which sits along the shoreline of Storrie Lake with sites facing the water. Each campsite includes an adobe-style shelter housing a picnic table, providing covered space for meals and gear storage. The campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with electric, water, and sewer hookups available at most sites, plus a dump station for those without sewer connections.
Sites spread out with generous spacing between neighbors, and Tom C. notes that "each site has a great view of the lake." The proximity to Highway 518 creates some road noise, though campers report geese and songbirds from the lake often mask traffic sounds. Residential homes border the back of some campsites, creating a mixed setting between natural and developed areas.
Fishing opportunities extend directly from the campground shoreline into Storrie Lake. Swimming is permitted in designated areas. A large open field provides space for activities, and a playground serves families with children. The South Area Campground — Storrie Lake State Park offers additional sites within the same park system.
Seasonal operations significantly impact amenities and access. From October through March, water gets shut off at individual sites except for one spigot serving the entire park, and the main restroom facilities close in favor of portable toilets. The entry gate locks at 5 PM during winter months with no after-hours entry code, requiring campers to return before closure or park outside and walk in. Debbie W. summarizes: "Other than the water issue and gate closer no other complaints."
Rates range from $8 for primitive sites to $14-16 for electric hookups during off-season, with full-service sites reaching $20-30 in peak season. Reservations help secure lakefront positions during busy periods.

The water spicket near the dump station and the one at the dump station is closed due to a water leak. The water spicket is now open at the west campground between 42W and 45W. The leak is too deep for us to work on it, so we are waiting on quotes from contractors to make the repair.
