Carter Lake

Nice quiet campground. The spots were bigger then I originally thought. My child and I hiked the path to the beach and enjoyed riding the scooter on the paved path through the campground. The lake has a nice size beach where we played for a while. We will be back to this campground.

This is an amazing campground, and #13 is my favorite site. It's very private and large enough for my 4-person tent and a 10x10 canopy shelter with no crowding. The only downside is the steep-sloped and winding steps you have to navigate -- with all your stuff -- to get down and back up to where your vehicle is parked. (A porta-potty is handy for inside the tent at nighttime since the only bathroom facility is a bit of a walk.)

I actually appreciate the fact that there's no cell service; you need to travel into Florence for that, about a 10-minute drive north. Florence makes a good day trip with its Old Town area, commercial & private fishing boats, numerous restaurants, grocery stores, gift shops, a casino, and lots of additional recreational choices in the area.

One of our favorite places to camp. Host and forest service are doing a great job.

Great campsite for smaller rigs. Bathrooms very clean. Host very helpful. Great trail through forest, over dunes leading to the ocean. Had a great 2 day stay. No cell coverage but that’s part of a great camping experience.

We originally booked site 20, but switched to 21. 20 is beautiful, but a little cramped and SO windy (late September). 21 is more spacious, protected from wind, and a lovely spot. The camp host was great and the bathrooms were well stocked. I recommend!

Decent campground, camp host was friendly. Only problem was that we had originally reserved site 13, when we got there found out that the parking is on upper level and actual campsite is on a lower level accessed by stairs. We have mobility issues so had to change sites. Camp host said that all sites along the lake side are like this. So people with mobility issues should not reserve lakeside sites. We moved to site 5 and it was very nice. Traffic noise was minimal and cell service was non existent.

Great campsite, sweet little lake and really fun dunes nearby!

campsite had litter.

I had site 16, the picnic bench was broken, very broken. However, the one frog, bat flying around above me, the family rats in the bush, and a fox on the walking trail at 6am, and i somehow didnt become a Disney princess, unfortunately. I would stay here again.

The Camp Host was really friendly and helpful. The lakeside campsites are so unique and gorgeous! The dune side campsites are also nice, and the fact that you can just walk straight up into the dunes is incredible! I will definitely come back.
