Colwell Lake Campground offers a beautiful and serene camping experience with spacious, well-maintained sites nestled among mature trees. Guests appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities, friendly and accommodating hosts, and easy access to recreational activities like hiking, fishing, and paddling. However, some reviews highlight concerns about the rough entrance road and occasional noise from nearby generators and traffic.

The sites are large, fairly private & close to the water which is perfect for kayaks/canoes & casting a line. They also have a fishing peir & boat launch. If you're tenting beware; the gravel pad is as hard as cement!! I could not pound stakes in to it to secure our mat, even with a hammer!! You are not allowed to set anything up on the grass, this includes our screen tent. 😠 Our neighbors were forced to take theirs down & it was very buggie once the wind died down!! 🤨 They checked out early. The host said that they (FFS "Brenda") are trying to grow the grass, although there is no sign of grass seed or fertilizer. It's a nice thought but, come on, it's a campsite in the midst of a forrest not a park that gets lots of sunshine to help the grass grow!!
This is a rustic campground with pit toilets, water, a few electric sites plus a sanitation station. The hosts take very good care of the campground & the toilets are very clean. We love it but you should be able to utilize your entire site!! I am wondering if this rule is a FFS rule or a personal one. ??

Camping at Colwell Lake is always fun. Sites are clean when we arrived and the bugs weren't too bad. Bathrooms are kept clean. We'll be back.
