What Guests Are Saying
Picnic Point is a beautiful and well-maintained campground that quickly became a favorite for visitors, offering a stunning swimming beach at the lake and proximity to a lodge resort. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The only minor drawback is the need to park at the top and carry belongings down to the campsite.

This quickly became one of our favorite places to camp. It's a beautiful place; the lodge resort is just down the hill if you need anything, and the swimming beach at the end of the lake is amazing. We will definitely be back. The only drawback to this campground at all was that you have to park at the top and pack your stuff in, but it's so worth it. It's just beautiful there.

Other than in wind storms with thunder and lightning and rain, we had a great time. The lake is beautiful. The campground is clean and well maintained. Will definitely be going here again. Very peaceful.

The lake was beautiful and calm, bathrooms were clean, and the camp host was friendly. Walking from our car to our campsite was quick and easy. The views! Gorgeous! Most of the campsites were vacant while we were there (June 8-13). We didn’t take our kayak out because it was cold and rainy most of the time but the lake looks great for kayaking!
Some things to note - fire wood was unavailable to purchase but we lucked out and were able to scavenge some from vacant campsites. It was quite loud on the weekend because of people partying at the lodge. Our fist night a large group of women and children were camping and they got very drunk and screamed at each other all night and their kids were peeing on the trees next to the campsite. They let their dog roam around off leash and didn’t clean up after it. The camp host is off site so no one official to get them to behave. At least it was only one night. Next time we will plan a night to eat in the restaurant at the lodge. No cell service.

It is a beautiful well-maintained campground. We did experience a tremendous storm that blew through, but we were safe. Beautiful views, clean vault toilets, great fishing! It is a little tough having to carry in your equipment from the parking lot to the tent pad, so bring a wagon or cart.

The campsites are well maintained and maintenance / volunteer are excellent. There was a really loud group one night - morning lasting till 1:30 or 2:00 am. This was a really disappointing experience.

What a great little campground. The parking area is just a short walk to all of the tent sites. There are 2 areas for water and just a short walk to the VERY clean bathrooms. The only draw back was the cabins below at the lodge and their dogs. There are signs every where saying dogs must be on a leash at all times. However, the cabin people must of not seen these because we had dogs in the camp site at all times. We left our furry friends at home only to end up having to deal with other people's dogs. Other than that, this campsite is definitely worth it. The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful.
