This was my first time visiting this location for bass fishing, and it was a pleasure. While the lake isn’t very large, it includes plenty of parking space, a mini beach/swimming area, and clean campgrounds. The parking for the campgrounds did seem a little clustered with for trucks with trailers or RV’s. However, I’m not sure that they have much room for expansion. In conclusion, I will definitely be returning for future fishing trips, as well as, looking into camping for the weekend.

A hidden gem for local camping, hiking and fishing. Absolutely well kept--park staff are friendly and hard workers! The cabins are beautifully located by the lake and are a fantastic place to rent for a getaway from suburbia with your friends or family. Super clean and safe. Fun summer events too like movies and star gazing.

Are the spots 50 amp or 30 amp? Is the water at each site and electric?

Amy Schultes | May 19, 2020
Kirk Blake | May 20, 2020

They have different options at each site. I do believe that water is available at all sites and the electric depends on which site. There is no septic dump at this campsite. You must drive into Woodbine at the main park to dump your tanks.

How do I verify our reservation? Can't seem to find a page to check it on?

Betsy Kill | May 20, 2019
Kevin Pauba | May 21, 2019

The campground doesn't accept reservations; it's first-come first-served. If you rented a cabin, I suppose you can call the country offices.

Is this a pet friendly lake? woukd like to take dog for a dip, off leash.

Suzi Andersen | May 20, 2019
Tony Ronnfeldt | May 21, 2019

Pets aren't allowed in the cabins so I wasn't able to take my yellow lab. No pets allowed in the swimming area. As for the rest of the lake it would be questionable. You can see a few tree branches sticking up through the surface so I wonder what's below the surface. Its a really nice place and plan on returning.

Is there wi fi in the park?

Julie Johnson | May 20, 2019
Bonnie “Midget” Mitchell | May 21, 2019
