Nice park. Gorgeous

Nice state campground. Electric only with limited 50amp sites. The emerald ash borer has killed all the numerous ash trees in the park leaving some sites on the brink of being a hazard. I have to assume that they will be removed during the winter months. All sites are asphalt paved with the majority of sites being level with some exceptions.

Great time fishing at Rend Lake Harbor Oaks with my granddaughter. 3 bluegill in 30 minutes.

Beautiful 😍, we are right by the lake, hearing the lapping of the waves on the rocks below! Most beautiful place I can remember going camping! The breeze coming off the lake is awesome.

what area is the best to look for bald eagles?

J Holtsr | Sep 26, 2022
Rte154 | Oct 3, 2022

This time a year they could show up anywhere. Sightings are not real common since nesting is over. I guess maybe on the dam by the spillway could be as good a spot as any.

How many days can I stay there, and at the same site? Forbes Lake, staff offered a continuous stay. I am utilizing a small RV trailer.

Paul Donnelly | Aug 25, 2022
Tammy Sellers | Aug 25, 2022

14 days on one site
