Within the Army Corps of Engineers' Carr Creek Recreation Area, Littcarr Campground operates from April through October along the shores of Carr Creek Lake. This established campground accommodates RVs up to 54 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus provides boat-in access for watercraft camping.
The forested sites offer electric and water hookups with what Kevin H. describes as "lovely foresty sites, pretty level." Campers consistently praise the facility maintenance, with multiple reviews highlighting clean bathrooms and high-pressure showers. The B-loop requires navigating a steep access road, while sites like #25 provide extra privacy and shade despite less-than-perfect leveling. A dump station serves RV campers, and laundry facilities are available on-site.
Cell service proves challenging across most carriers, with Verizon performing best among available options. The campground's location provides direct lake access for fishing and swimming, with a canal connecting to the broader Carr Creek Lake system.
