What Guests Are Saying

Lake Campground offers a pleasant camping experience with clean facilities and friendly staff. Campsite 006 is highly recommended due to its elevated position and proximity to the lake, which is just a short walk away. However, campsites 005 and others near the restroom face issues with odor and noise, making them less desirable.

Our group stayed in campsites 005 & 006. Campsite 006 is elevated and a really nice spot. Campsite 005 is next to the pit toilets, and it smells bad. I would not recommend campsite 005. The campground is a short walk to the lake and is overall a nice place to camp.

We stayed at spot #2. It’s on a small slope but seen that an area has been flattened for a tent. A plus is that it’s close to two water spickets and the restroom. My fiancee and I lived the site, the lake is a 5 min walk away. Definitely will be returning.

We moved from this campground to Mountain Oak campground. Lake campground is right on the highway with very small sites. We were in a B van, not a tent, so maybe that was the problem.
