What Guests Are Saying
Murray Bay Campground is well-maintained and offers a beautiful, peaceful environment with private sites and access to water for kayaking and fishing. Camp host Mr. Smith is highly praised for his kindness and attentiveness, and the facilities, including clean restrooms, contribute to a pleasant experience. While the remote location requires a longer drive, many visitors find it worth the trip for the serene atmosphere and amenities.

Huckleberries everywhere! It was a nice spot, disregarding the jerks on boats who show up to shoot fireworks. The road needs to be graded, but other than that, a very nice spot.

We had a great time there and the camp host was the best. The sites are nice and they have hand pump water. The only thing to be aware of is you’re 22+ miles from the main little town so take everything you need. Cell service isn’t really available.

Beautiful campsite with access to the water all around. Nearby boat launch. Great campsite hosts. No mosquitos at the end of June!

Murray Bay is a beautiful campground. Most sites are pretty private with lots of vegetation. The bay is lovely for kayaking and fishing.

Love this place and make an annual trek here with friends. Peaceful, clean, and worth the long, bumpy ride up the dirt road.

The first day and night we camped by someone who had a very loud generator which they kept on all evening and several hours in the morning. We were ready to pack up and leave, but then the campground host found another campsite for us further away from this noise (we appreciated her efforts very much). After we moved to the new campsite, a pontoon boat and several jet skies, out on the water, started playing very loud music that echoed throughout the campground and bay. Such a relief when they finally left the bay blasting their music and roaring jet skis.

We had great spots to camp at. Campground was quiet and peaceful.
The camp host was very kind. The outhouses were kept clean and had air fresher pods in all of them to make them smell better then smelling poop all the time when in them. Loved that idea.

The Murray Bay Campground was very well managed, clean restrooms, clean well maintained campsites, and surrounding areas.
