Our visit to Longshoal was amazing! We definitely want to go back. It is a quiet campground with a nearby marina you just have to go visit! The Lake is down at the moment and the bank fishing sparse, but there was no highway noise, and we saw gulls, heron, and even eagles! A couple of notes: we had a hard time finding a map of the grounds but there was one posted on the outside of the shower house; we could never find firewood for sale, even when we drove to Warsaw; the ground can be quite rocky in places, so bring something comfortable to lay under your sleeping bags; and the vault toilets were inaccessible. The people running the camp were super sweet and patrolled semi-frequently along with the park rangers, and kids can feed carp outside the marina for just 50 cents (There's also a restaurant at the marina with great deals on takeout!). We had a great time!

Very nice campground, sites not spaced close together. Shower house and restrooms clean. Close to waterfront for fishing. Nice swimming beach across the road. Water not in each site, but hydrants located around the campground. We enjoyed our stay, and will return again.

Policies & Rules
Arrival & departure
- A camping permit is required and must be obtained at the park booth. Limits apply to equipment and vehicle parking.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
