Camping near Detroit Lake Day-Use area

We stayed at site 10 over Labor Day weekend and loved it! Cost - $22 and $5 for an additional vehicle. You can walk up or reserve the sites by phone. However, we normally walk up and are lucky with finding what we need last minute.

The tent sites are large, but you can definitely hear and see your neighbors through the brush. There is quite a walk to the bathrooms from our site, but the trails are well labeled. The bathrooms are “prison toilets” with cold water sinks, and do not have lights nor soap. It is a BYOS - soap or sanitizer. This is why I gave it a 4.

This site is attached to a beautiful Hoover Day Use area that charges $5 for day use. The Hoover Day use area has a large dock to walk/fish on, a boat ramp, and lots of space for parking, picnicking, and fishing. The lake was 75 degrees this summer - so plan for blue gill not trout or salmon.
