A group of us stayed at Boot Lake campground in the end of July. Normally this campsite takes reservations but for 2020 it’s strictly first come, first serve. We lucked out and managed to snag one of the better sites (#14) on the lake. While there are roughly 8 actual lake sites, if you’re there to go canoeing or kayaking, 13-16 are probably the best options for that, though there were several motor boats tied up along the shore of some of the other sites. Be aware the lake is very popular for water activities so if you’re looking for a calm quiet location for fishing or canoeing, you’re mostly limited to mornings and evenings.

There is a trail that goes along the lakeshore and if you follow it going clockwise, you’ll find a rope swing for jumping in to the lake.

Fair warning, both campsites we were at had poison ivy around them so watch out. Also they have just finished clean up following the storm in 2019 so some of the campsites are a bit more open than I imagine was intended, particularly in sites away from the lake. Though there was a lot of standing water and a fairly large swamp across the road, mosquitoes were not bad at all.

Overall, it’s a great campground and we would return.
