Overlook

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting along the edge of Lake Somerville within the Somerville Recreation Area, Overlook is an Army Corps of Engineers campground with electric and water hookups for RVs up to 45 feet, plus tent sites with walking access to showers and restrooms. Sites are spaced out with reasonable separation, and a 10 p.m. quiet rule is enforced. A small lake inlet near the campsite works well for swimming, while deeper water suits fishing and boating. Restroom cleanliness has drawn mixed feedback. Rocky Creek sits just to the northeast for campers weighing nearby alternatives.

Guests frequently mentioned spacious, clean sites with good hookups and a quiet, dog-friendly atmosphere. Lake access for swimming and fishing was appreciated, though restroom cleanliness had mixed feedback.

Great family camping spot

Camp sites are spaced out nicely, the lake is beautiful. The campsites are clean. The restrooms are not clean

Wonderful spot for Camping and Fishing!

We camped at spot 1, right up from the lake. Very spacious spot to fit three tents. Dog friendly. Very quiet, everyone courteous. Two great fishing spots: down on the lake by the campsite and by the marina (both super close to the campsite).

Great camping spot!

We were are spot T2, along with another group at T10 (only ones camping out there)! The spots are somewhat close together. It’s an all-around great camping spot. Has ample sites to camp either in tents or RVs, with both electricity and water hook ups. Really quiet, everyone is respectful of the 10pm silent rule. Good shade spot while tent camping in the summer. Campsite is a walking distance from bathrooms and showers. Close to water (walking distance) for swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, etc. By the campsite (not the marine side) there is a small inlet of the lake that is great for swimming. Other parts are too deep, but are perfect for taking a boat out and fishing! Staff is very friendly with any questions. Very dog friendly. Good price!
