All sites face the lake at this Army Corps of Engineers campground on Somerville Lake, where the layout splits into three or four separate areas rather than clustering everyone together. Full hookups include water, electric, and sewer, though at least one reviewer notes the dump station can be difficult to navigate for larger rigs. Flood damage over the years has reduced tree cover significantly, so shade is limited. Gates lock from midnight to 6 a.m. on weekends and close at 10 p.m. on weekdays. Golf carts and steering-wheel-operated ATVs are permitted on site. Campers exploring places to camp near Somerville Recreation Area will find Welch Park Somerville Lake about 1.4 miles northeast. Bring your own shade structure given the lack of tree canopy.
