Pretty Spots with Decent Shade and a Fishing Lake Nearby

This campground is situated around Lake Cleveland as well but sits on the west side as the name implies.  You might think the campgrounds are similar but the west side is where you go if you want to get away from the RV's and trailers as the road is a good bit rougher going to the other side.  There are fewer sites on this side of the lake as a result, but they have all the same amenities as the east side.  The bonus is having less neighbors and just as many fish!  If you continue up the road that the lake road splits off of you'll eventually arrive at Mt. Harrison which will give you great 360 views!

Amazing Lake with Views

The campsites are a little on the small side if you have more than one huge tent. We went with friends and got lucky with the last two spots being next to each other so we took them both. We have a huge tent and they had a big one as well. We had spot 26 and 27. The spots are first come first serve. We took a hike and got some amazing photos and had a blast fishing. There are rainbow trout and cutthroat in the lake. There is a bathroom but make sure you bring your own toilet paper. It’s also dog friendly and our dogs had a blast as well. It’s been our favorite camping destination so far. There is also cell phone reception which was surprising.
