Kokosing River Campground — Kokosing Lake Wildlife Area

Army Corps of Engineers manages this drive-in and walk-in campground along Kokosing Lake within the North Branch Kokosing Rv Recreation Area. The site provides toilets, dump station, trash service, and cell coverage, though pets are not permitted. Campers report consistent quiet conditions and direct water access for activities like kayaking.

The small campground features shaded sites that accommodate both RVs and tent camping. Multiple visitors note the presence of waterfowl around the lake and mention that families with children frequent the area during summer months. For additional options, campers can explore campgrounds around Chesterville or visit West Ranch located nearby. The setup works well for campers prioritizing lake access and low-key atmosphere over extensive amenities.

Cozy up w/your neighbors:)

Nice, small, shaded, well maintained campground. Wasn't crowded when we visited in Sep. but I can imagine when it's full it's a little crowded. Beautiful lake, nice a quiet. Lots of waterfowl
