Lake Views and Pine Trees

PSA: THERE ARE PORTA POTTIES — you do not need to dig a cat hole, I repeat there are bathrooms; not pretty by any means but they are there. The area we were camped at had a lot of trash on the ground. Looks like some of the garbage cans haven’t been changed/cleaned out in weeks. Critters got into the garbage too. Other than that, it’s quiet, plenty of spots to park and a great spot for fishing. Very pretty views. Seems like a semi-busy park for locals.

Beautiful on water camp spots

Easy to find. Lots of people out here camping. Several car / tent combos, class B rigs, and vans. Was serenaded by cows. There are porta poties and trash barrels around the campsite. Beautiful views of the water. Couldn't hear nearby road. Could fit a small (<20 ft) travel trailer in here. Has a main loop road you can drive around or walk. I saw a couple doing the walk. Pretty clean spot. Could do several days here easily. Att 5G, 1-2 bars. Could surf the Web.

FREE 7 DAY Camping beautiful scenery

I stayed down on the lakefront for 7 days. Only 2 campers besides me. Room for many many more. Fish jumping! Quiet at night. I was here in March 2022. No bathrooms, so be totally self contained!

Great place to Boondock! FREE!!!

Wonderful place to do some Boondocking and for FREE! You can park where you can fit and stay as long as you wish. It is run by the county and well taken care of... just do your part to keep it that way. 

We had no issue parking of rig for a few days and we, along with a couple others, were the only ones there. 

Make sure to get water and food before setting up, not much close by, so whatever direction you are coming from, get supplies for your duration.

Have a great time, we did!

Primitive

There is no fee to camp in this area. No reservations are necessary.

Camp sites are not marked, the county park is basically an open field that is somewhat wooded and permits camping. You can show up and set up camp anywhere you would like. There are flushing toilets, picnic tables, and boat loading areas on both sides of the dam. The grounds do not have actual fire pits, generally people build them as desired. There is phone service but no electric or water hookups. The area is easy to access but there are not any signs that indicate you have arrived where you can camp, mostly locals come out during the summer months. Pets are welcome.
