Rock Dam Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Accessible via a gravel and dirt road, Rock Dam Park sits within Clark County Forest and runs from May 1 through September 30. Reservations are available, and the campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer. A dump station is also on site. No cell service reaches the area, and the nearest towns are a fair distance out, so arriving self-sufficient matters here.

The layout is, in one reviewer's words, "quite a maze of a campsite," with multiple entrances and a lake nearby. Sites near the entrances can see more foot traffic. Some lots run spacious, though reviews note the campground can fill heavily, with RVs making up the majority of the crowd during peak summer weekends. ATV trails run through the area, which generates noise during the day and into the evening. Campers using those trails should confirm which routes allow motorcycles versus ATVs only, as restrictions vary by trail.

Firewood is available for purchase from camp management, delivered directly to your site. The wood on offer has included dense oak, which burns long but can be slow to catch. Two bars are located within reasonable driving distance for campers who want an off-site option in the evenings. Pets are allowed throughout the season.

Clark County Rock Dam Campground lies roughly two miles west and provides an alternative for campers who want a different configuration of the same general area.

Many campers appreciated the spacious lots and laid-back atmosphere, though some visitors expressed disappointment with noise from fireworks and ATVs. The campground offers good trail access but experiences vary significantly.

Busy Family Campground

Stayed one night to ride the nearby OHV trails, some of which turned out to be not intended for off-road motorcycles (only ATVs are allowed on trails in that county).

Quite a maze of a campsite, with a lake near by. Site 147 is right at one of the entrance, so it was a little busy on that site, although there are multiple entrances.

The management was super nice and helpful. For $8 they delivered a gator-load of wood to the site, and even offered to unload and stack it. It was super heavy oak, so didn't burn that well.

No cell service, no towns nearby. But two local bars that were fairly close.

Way too crowded RV park

Although this campsite has spots for tents and pull behind trailers, it was 90% rv Park. The sites were on top of each other and fireworks were being set off all night even though signs are posted about quiet hours and fireworks specifically. There are also ATV trails so we had to listen to that most of the day and night.

Great Location for ATV Riders

This campground is a place I have 4-wheeled to many times. The trails around it are well maintained and beautiful. The road to Rock Dam is gravel/dirt.
