Van Pugh South Day Use Facility

Beautiful campgrounds, reasonable amount of privacy, and amazingly kind gatestaff!

Great Place!!!!

This site was ok. The map looked like there was lake access, but there's a cliff. Bring a 6-step ladder and some rope for beach access. There's a peninsula across the lake where a bunch of boaters camp for the night. They don't have a noise restriction, as a note. The bathrooms are due for an update.

We were a little apprehensive about this lot due to the last review, but it was the only lot available when we were making the reservation. After we got there we finally understood. There is a hill to get down to the bank from the tent pad in order to swim or fish. If you have trouble walking or climbing stairs you won't make it back up the hill. I did slip once trying to get back up. However there are stairs down to the tent pad. The view is beautiful completely shaded with trees from the hot sun! But you can still see the stars at night from the tent pad. This lot is decently spaced away from other campers so you don't feel on top of each other.
