Nice campground next to the lake. Lots of shade and nice shelters with picnic tables under them at the campsite.

Had a blast! This is by far my favorite lake. This was the first time my husband had been to Council Grove lake and it is now his favorite lake as well, so much so that we have made reservations for two different weekends.

I truly enjoyed my stay at he Council Grove Lake. There is only one complaint I have and that’s that the grass was so tall. The island part was worse then else where. I was told by the volunteers that it never got mowed twice in a row when the rest got mowed. Not only did it look bad but walking in it was nasty.
