Reservations at Below the Dam Campground go through the state's pay line, with guidance available at the Corps office near the entrance. The campground splits into two sections: a southern cluster of pull-in sites adjacent to the fishing area, and a northern section where sites 1 and 2 are more spacious while sites 3 through 8 run small and close together. No direct lake access exists from the sites, though water is reachable by walking down the rocks. Each site has a table, grill, lantern hook, and water spigot; electric hookups are listed but have been reported as non-functional. Restrooms are shared with the bank fishing area. Anglers looking for campsites near Wister State Park may also want to compare the Quarry Island Campground — Lake Wister State Park, which sits across the dam and draws larger crowds.
