Great spot to camp whether you prefer a tent, trailer, or even a cabin camping. Clean facilities and great little store. Even with a low lake level, you still get great use of the lake.

Collins Lake was the best getaway from town and away from people and now under the nature, we were able to get our own freedom away from everyone and in the nature we rented out a boat for $295 it was awesome. One of my best experiences I ever had. I’d recommend everyone who come on a weekend or a weekday run a boat and go out and have fun. It’s one of the best things you can do at Collins Lake. I appreciate the stuff and the employees in the Security and everyone that worked there they were so nice and generous and helpful. I was able to learn a lot about the lake. It was one of my best experiences ever the water was warm and it was nice. I like everything about this place.

Check in was super easy and staff is wonderful and helpful. Campsite with water and power. Close the water. Kids love there's a playground nearby. Neighbors are pretty good about noise ordinance at 10pm. Some keeps lights on though which shines into our tent but not too bad. Bathrooms were clean.

This is a great campground. It's not a quiet campground, it's busy. Hundreds of spaces. But knowing that ahead of time sets the stage. There are RV spaces, tent spaces, and even cabins. Lots of shade options and views of the lake. There is a marina, you can rent boats! The camp store has everything you need that you forgot. And more! Super yummy ice cream, too. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We go back most years.

Lake is nice and full right now, too. Just beautiful! A chorus of birds surrounds the area. They have a nice hike groomed as well.
