We camped on lot 57 and the view of the lake was awesome! The new bathhouse is open year round
ScoutMy kids always loved fishing here was a great place to hike as well

Large park with a marina, archery range, disc golf and more. Trails to lake covered with shade.
GuideIt's easy to get there. The non-electric sites don't have a lot of space or privacy (ie; trees) between them, definitely no hammocking. There's also a private camper's beach that is absolutely serene, probably not safe to swim in. Due to it being a holiday weekend, it was busy & loud like you'd expect, but it was so rowdy we left early. When we showed up, someone dumped all their trash in our firepit, absolutely disgusting behavior. Two different camp groups, one in electric and one in non-electric, got into loud verbal fights that resulted in the police being called. Fireworks and loud music were played all night long. No quiet hours, or if there are any they're not enforced. It's still great for a night visit if you're in the area, but it's not a dream weekend getaway by any means.
ScoutClean and empty at this time of the year. Tried to do the right thing and reserve for the night however the booking site through the state wouldn’t work. Slept for the night after a long day of driving
GuideWe had an excellent time with our camping trip at Kiser Lake. We were incredibly impressed with the kind staff. We had purchased 8 bundles of wood ($5/bundle) and it was all wet and not usable. The staff worked hard to find us replacements that may have come from a different shipment. We were able to use that to get going and dry out the wet bundles.
We booked a group site which was perfect for us with our dog and our group. It seemed like the regular campsite seemed too crowded for our taste.
ScoutA small intimate campground, perfect if you hate crowds and prefer nature.

The park is great for hunting and has a few good spots to fish. The hiking trails are often over grown and not very challenging. There are quite a few camping areas and a great day camp for events.
ScoutWe came in November so water hookups were off and bathrooms were closed down (although that wasn’t communicated to us). The running trails were fun and the spaces were far enough apart for some privacy.
TravelerNice medium size campground. Must reserve online as they are still doing everything virtual. Camp spots were decently sized but no cover between camp spots and little shade. Bathrooms were clean but not spotless and in need of a little repair. We were there on a Tuesday in October so not very crowded. All in all a nice place to stay for the night and get a good shower. 108 was very close to the bathrooms.
TravelerThis campsite would have been perfect if not for the bathrooms littered with bugs, insects, and spiders. Otherwise, the campsite was quiet, the tent sites were nicely spaced out, and the bathrooms were easily accessible.
TravelerStopped here during a road trip with a friend. Very family friendly. Tent sites were nice and flat, felt a little cramped though. Bathrooms were clean. The lake was very nice, clear, and refreshing. Flet good to be close to it! Easy to find the campsites and pretty affordable.
TravelerLove this place. Everything is close and the people are always nice. Always something to do.
GuideHad a 4 day 3 night long weekend. Camp host on I think lot 71 or there about were great at keeping the activities going. Every night there was a movie and you could buy root beer floats for $1!! And the kids loved it. We also used the camper beach but to the left of it to launch our kayaks. Which was nice because you could back up to the pathway and park. Then drag your kayak down a short trail to the water. We loved our campsite 41 which I found is next to impossible to get! But it has shade almost all day and it only has a camper on one side plus is close to the bathroom. There is a path to the playground which the occasional kid will run down into your campsite by accident. Also the campground was quiet by 10pm every night we were there and most people seemed to be in bed early. We stay up till like 1-2am every night and it was so peaceful.
ScoutWe arrived three hours after check in started and headed straight to the camp office to check in. Our tent site was ready right away and the kind lady at the desk helped us get DRY firewood and helped us locate our spot. Our campground was clean and mostly quiet. About a 2 min walk and you can walk along the lake on a trail, we caught the most gorgeous sunset. Overall a very nice and clean campground. The only complaint if I had to give one was the daddy long legs in the bathrooms. But they are not harmful at all and don’t really get in the way, but if you are not a spider person they may deter you.
GuideA well manicured campground just outside Dayton, easy to get to, back in pavement site with 30A electric, picnic table and fire pit. Plenty of potable water spigots around, just not at the site. Dump station near the entrance of the campground. Walking trails along the lake well cared for. Plenty of activity with playground and an outdoor theater. Plenty of water-front pebble beach for enjoyment in the summer. Close to the campground is the marina with a restaurant , but won’t open til Memorial Day.
Addendum: July 2021 - was speaking with a number of people who have been here and they suggest not going during the summer. There is a large influx of rowdy locals who don't quite respect the peace and quiet many of us like.
LegendThis park is know for the lake that is kayak and canoe friendly since it doesn’t allow any kind of boat with a motor. It also features a beach , 2 playgrounds and several hiking trails. Just be careful if you hike with dogs since some trails intersect with a nature preserve which doesn’t allow pets.
The campground itself has 20 electric sites , 56 primitive sites and 4 camper cabins. All the electric sites are pull through and all sites have a fire pit but only the electric sites come with picnic tables.
Due to off season and COVID the camp store is closed and there is no camper host or park office staff around.
We did notice lots of downed trees on the poorly marked hiking trails. Some trails just started but no maps were around and no trails were blazed. It was hard to tell where we were headed or how long a trail was. I tried using the new Detour app and it wasn’t very accurate for this park.
We did have good Verizon cell coverage.
GuideWe LOVE this campground - particularly sites 81-86. The sites are large with plenty of room to spread out, throw the frisbee or play other games. The sites are also near hiking paths that lead to the camper beach.
There is a nice playground down the road from the sites and additional hiking trails on the other side of the campground. Very quiet, peaceful camping.
TravelerBeautiful hiking, great views of the lake. Nice place to put a boat/kayak in the water. Downside, very few sites have water/sewer hookup. They do have locations to get potable water and a dump station on the way out of the park, we were just hoping to have a water hookup on site.
TravelerWith this being my first time camping, I don’t have much to compare it to, but I really enjoyed my stay! I had spot 66 (non-electric standard) and I just had my tent and my car and I would definitely pick that spot again! It was absolutely stunning over looking the water with the trees turning colors. I went the first weekend in October so they had a lot of families there because they had all sorts of Halloween activities going on, so it wasn’t very quiet, but I still enjoyed myself. Got in on a Thursday and it was decently quiet that day. They have some play areas for kids, a few hiking trails and a wetlands, but most people were fishing and kayaking. There is a store, but I didn’t go in. Tons of spots to camp, from very secluded to right in the middle of the action. Very family friendly place. I think some small rules were broken here and there by some of the families, but it was just little things, so no harm no foul. Overall a great campground!
GuideSuper quiet, good fishing
GuideA hidden gem , super quiet , low traffic and decent fishing
GuideOne of my favorites in this area , great rv spots and even better tent /non electric spots ... easy walk to fish or to campers beach ... my sons love camping here for the trails and large areas to ride their bikes
GuideThis is the closest campground to the city I grew up in so I have been here many times through out the years. The sites are decent they have lots of space but most are on a slope you have to move your tents/tables/ect around a lot to find a flat area. Some of the pads are cracking and breaking from normal wear but I can tell that they have done lots of updates as well. The shower houses are clean and roomy. During non covid years they have a area with a big drive in movie type screen where they will play a movie on for kids. There is a swimming beach by the campground that is suppose to be for campers only but while we were there other people came and trashed the area. They were parting and left their trash and beer bottles all over the beach area (not campground fault). There are plenty of hiking trails in and around the campground as well. The biggest problem we had was the sneaky little raccoons breaking into our friends pop up . They forgot to lock the door when they went to sleep and woke up to Raccoons stealing stuff out of their camper 🤣🤣🤣.
GuideLOVE camping here!!! Have been here probably 4-5 time in the last 2 summers. We have never had a bad experience here till this wkend ( which is why I wouldn’t give it a bad review bc all other times have been great). So this was our first time this summer camping here and the camp host on site 38 is so rude and unhappy. She parked like 3 ft from our friends camper and he went over to see if he could help her (bc we thought she was there for us and needed something) and she said “do you see this spot all this grass is my site” in a rude tone. We were blown away bc we have never had anything but a good exp we just thought she needed something. And by the way she had her driveway and closer to her camper available. So being parked within 3 ft of their parking pad was a bit much. The camp host from lot 38 rode around on a golf cart with a unhappy face every time we seen her the whole wkend. She just seemed miserable. Other than that we always have a good time and they have a campground beach! We went fishing and our friend caught about a 2 ft carp!! No worries we catch and release so hes our there for the next person to catch! We will be going back. One spoiled trip will not ruin my favorite camp ground.
ScoutNice camping area and clean shower, bathrooms. Nice marina and boat launch!
TravelerVery family friendly
