Lake Russell Recreation Area

The rates are rather high but we like the area so we didn’t pay that any attention. For the rate though, one would expect a bathroom to at least have running water and soap so you can wash your hands. Taking a shower is also part of the facility but cold water in the men’s shower but it works but the women’s shower just keeps running but it’s hot water and goes down the wall so can’t be used. Second year coming here and nothing has changed. If I was paying for just a tent site that would be one thing but I paid almost $40 a night. Won’t be coming back until we see post showing they have fixed the area.

We had a good experience except for the bathroom's,they need to be cleaned and need to be fixed,a lot of them did not work.

Very quiet

We really like the place and visit regularly for day use as well as weekend campsite stays.

The campsites and especially bathrooms are not well kept. The men’s room sink did not work. The camp sites are small but also there was a lot of trash left behind by prior campers. We spent the first hour of our set up cleaning trash off the campsite.

So beautiful! Great trails and perfect campground! The hosts brought us kindling and drove around multiple times! It felt safe and fun! Great swimming spot! Can't say enough. We fully enjoyed our camping trip

Site 34 was perfect! Right next to the bathrooms and right next to the trail down to the lake. The wall on the lake was perfect to launch a paddle board or kayak from with a short paddle to the swimming area. We were able to scavenge for wood but it was not the dryest so I would recommend bringing your own. The site cas clean

The people who run the place are incredible. The park is beautiful. And very convenient to find!

A great campground that feels remote but is fifteen minutes from town. Good fishing. The hot shower is a huge plus. A+++
