What Guests Are Saying
Lake Mary Campground offers beautiful scenery, clean facilities, and friendly hosts, making it a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. Many visitors enjoyed activities like canoeing and stargazing, and appreciated the presence of flush toilets and paved trails. However, some sites are cramped and bear activity can be a concern, so visitors are advised to secure food properly and consider the site's layout before booking.

The site had flush toilets and new camp tables. The host was very helpful and familiar with the area. We had a fun time camping next to so many lakes!

The only reason I’m not giving it 1 star (or negative if I could) is because the camp hosts were great. This campground is overcrowded with sites on top of each other. Waste of time and money. And then you get all these people who like to leave food out all day and don’t practice bear safety. Fishing was even subpar. Lots of random people walking through the sites along the water as well. This isn’t even including the fact you have to book at least 6 months in advance. Crazy. Won’t be coming back here.

Campground is very clean, the bathrooms are super clean. The hosts are fantastic. Our only complaint is there are no showers at a Lake Mary you have to drive down to Twin Lakes General store and the cost is $8 a shower.

What a beautiful setting! Very clean and quiet. And the restrooms were very well kept and clean. Some of the cleanest I’ve ever experienced at a campground.
Can’t wait to return!

Amazing Host, dedicated and kind.
Bathrooms were very clean and organized.
Camping there was a great experience.
Wished it had showers and electricity as well as a place to wash dishes. But overall the sites are great and the lake is perfect.
