For those venturing out this way, the road from Sayner is paved the whole way. Coming in the opposite way has a mile or two of gravel. This campground seems to be much more active than others in the area. The lake is large enough to have motorboats towing people around. The campground beach was hopping when we pulled in. The campground itself is situated on a couple loops. We had a site in the back with no lake views. While the scenery at other sites may have been grand, we appreciated being separated from the crowd. The noise rose at nighttime between cheering, bags thudding and campfires reverie. There are vault toilets evenly spaced along with a couple hand pumps for water. We walked right across the road into the Aurora Lake State Natural Area. The road ends at another boat launch but it gave us a secluded 1.4 mile walk. We rode our bikes along the road and appreciated the pine scent as well as resplendent nature. This spot is a little too active for us but there are plenty of other campgrounds in the area to offer options.
