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.

Really enjoyed the campground that we stayed at, beautiful view, cute small trails that went off to another area closer to the water with a fire pit, great view and overall great vibes. Would go back to this exact spot we stayed at again!

We loved the campground. Our view of the lake was awesome. Our only thing we didn’t like is it is not clearly marked on how to get to the campground. Directions on the website are terrible.

My girlfriend and I camped at 4 locations over the course of a week. This was by far our favorite location, from the views, water access, and the incredibly friendly and helpful camp host. We can't wait to come again in the next couple years!

We climbed Great Northern, it was a killer but it was great to get in the lake after we were done!
