Lake Russell Recreation Area

Smallish, low-key, I liked it very much. Swimming ,fishing ,hiking, camping and not that far to town for supplies. I was there in May. The water in the lake was relatively clear, four to five foot visibility but I think that by the end of the summer it may get murky.

Wonderful level site with some privacy. Short walk downhill to the water. Clean site. Bathroom is the down fall. It needs repairs. Focus on repairing the facility and clear downed trees from trails.

Camp site was spacious and well-marked. Bathrooms were clean and maintained well. The lake was quiet and clean. The campground hosts were friendly and welcoming, and other campers were courteous.

The CG is very quiet. The bike trail was fun to ride for mid to experience trail bikers. The beach was a nice place to access the lake and sit and enjoy.

We only booked for 2 nights as a trial run. Unfortunately the fire restriction went into effect the day we checked in and became a complete ban. (No fault of the campground) The bath house had no hot water and smelled like sewage. Overall the amenities they do offer are not well maintained. During the day we were over ran with a neighbor campers’ children (we also had our kids) who were continuously getting into our food and things and wouldn’t stop when asked. In the evening it was quiet and peaceful though.

Peaceful serenity. Best campground Host ever, she is friendly and caring.

It was unkept. Trash in our site and many others - and been there awhile.

We are self contained but thr bathroom had no warm water and no light in shower.

The parking areas in sites was in terrible shape in all of the sites in loop A.

A tour of loop B - all were clean and kept up. The host of loop A - not good at all.

Very placid and peaceful place. Remote but easy to check in.

Bathrooms filthy. Camp host on site but didn’t keep bathrooms cleaned. One working shower in campground and it’s drain clogged.
