North Trout Lake Campground — Northern Highland State Forest

Had a site right next to the water...it was perfect. Little buggy but not too bad at all. sites are large and have some older trees that are tall so it kept the sun out. Lots of families and lots of noise so this is not a quiet campground by any means. Lots of paths for the bikes which is what a lot of the families were doing. Best to come here if you have a family or when it is a little bit slower. 

There were a lot of cut down trees which I am assumed came from a recent storm. So it was a little loud close the highway.

This large campground stretches out along the lakeshore. Some sites have beautiful lake views(we suggest trying those first). There are also some double sites that would nestle you in closely with your neighbors- perfect for a larger group. A few walk in spots are available too. 

The nature trail doesn’t allow pets which was sad. However the paved bike route is nearby and goes for miles. Town is a short bike ride away. This weekend was an organized ride so it was quite a busy path. A couple days later the town had a large garage sale-type fair. The cookies and jam were great! 

This was a great discovery. We are adding this to our places to return to. 

The lake is beautiful and has a nice picnic area with a place to launch your boat.

Loved the water view from our campsite, unfortunately on the other side was the main entrance and a highway so vehicular traffic sound was prominent. Sites are large, with some tree coverage. Many families with kids and dogs. Well maintained and great walking and biking trails in the park and surrounding area.
