Mayfield Lake Park

I love bringing my family out here to camp every summer. This camping spot has easy water access and I never find that it is too busy. The camping is on gravel so make sure to bring THICK pads if sleeping on the ground. This is definitely the place to use a cot or car camp. Bathrooms were clean and the hosts were always sweet.

Clean pay showers and bath. Valerie came up with just a phone call. Got us hooked up and mentioned a seniors discount if we qualified. Very friendly!

Decided to take advantage of the beautiful April 2021 weather and headed out for our first camping trip of the year here. We lucked out with it being their opening weekend, the campground was maybe 50% full and FCFS, we ended up staying in the upper loop site 13. The large site could easily fit a couple of tents, and still had a decent view of the lake!

Pros: Campground location is right on the lake, playground, swim area, boat launch, flush toilets, and showers. Water and electricity hookups in every site. Lower loop sites are right on the water! 

Cons: No privacy between sites, expensive ($78 for two nights!), more of an RV campground than tent camping. Can hear HWY 12 at night time. During the day there was heavy machinery running VERY close to the upper loop, maybe expect construction noise this summer? No luck bank fishing. No firewood sold at the campground!

Overall I’d recommend this campground in early spring and late fall. IMO it’s more for RV camping and boaters... Not sure I’d recommend it at all during peak season, sites are very close together! And seems day use area can get extremely busy!
