West Sullivan lake

Took my RV and stayed in site 3 at west Sullivan. Absolutely loved the stay we did about half of the lakeshore trail and found some beautiful views and even a rope swing. Loved the campsite and will definitely be coming back.

Near Lake with Little Views

Stayed here Friday night and you really had to get here by 5 pm to get one of the few first come, first serve spots. Well maintained but expect crowds as most sites have 4+ people or lots of children. Expect to walk several hundred feet to the water. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table with space for 2 cars. Most will fit and RV.
