We love camping at Lake Winfield Scott

Been here 4 times now (tent camping) and it really is a gem. The sites are relatively spread out, and it’s a short walk down to the lakeside. There is a swimming area, and it’s more of a locals’ spot than a destination. Really good option if you’re looking for something quieter and cheaper than Vogel. There is a bathroom with running hot showers by the lake, but not in the campground. From here you can hike to Blood Mountain peak, about 7 miles roundtrip. There is also a path around the lake. It’s $18/night or just $9 if you have a National Parks Pass.
