A great park for family camping. I love the primitive sites. No RV or generator ruining the ambiance. Some of the fire rings don't have grilling grates that work, so plan accordingly. Be sure to pack a swimsuit for the beach, and archery gear with targets for their free to use archery range. They also have man-powered boats available for rent and a snack bar at the beach! My only sore spot is with the number of tents policy. You can only have one tent per site unless you have children. We camped with 2 other friends and they also had to get their own campsite. It would be more acceptable of a rule but so many campsites are already reserved! It just doesn't seem fair that an RV with a giant truck takes up way more space and damage to a site vs two two person tents. I really hope they change their policy to number of people per site and not limit the number of tents someday soon.

Questions & Answers

How far ahead can you reserve a campsite for Breezy Bay. I know ithas to be a minimum of 5 days prior but is there a maximum amount of time. For example if you wanted to make reservations for Memorial Day how far ahead can you make your reservation.

Hi William -- campgrounds open for reservation on November 1 for the following camping season.

Will the lake and beach be ready for the 2021 camping and swimming season?

Marcia Eggers | Jun 11, 2021

Hi Marcia - The lake is refilling naturally with rainfall, so the timing is a bit unpredictable, but we hope everything will be open and operational this recreation season. The beach will be available as soon as we have enough water to safely open and get ropes out.
