One of my favorite campgrounds. Love this place. Here are a few things to help you plan your visit....

Gated entry so it's nice knowing riff raff is t hanging out. Gate staff was friendly, bring them a treat, they are stuck in that booth all day.

Tent sites are huge and so nice. Clean and spacious. Water and electric hookups. So e sites are right in the water!!

No cell service at this park so be prepared for that. They do have wifi around the boat dock so that will help get your fix if needed.

Bathhouses are nice. Bring an over the door hook for your clothing. The showers are kind of a wreck. Nowhere to put your belongings and the water sprays everywhere and all over the floor. But hey, I am blessed to get a hot shower while camping.

Fishing, swimming, basketball, volleyball and hanging out are all available.

If you need to go shopping the closest store is Dollar General in Gainsboro (about 20 minutes away)

Again, love this place and we will be back!!!!

Rain squashed most of our outdoor plans. The campground is well kept and all the spots seemed nice and wide. Early mornings on the lake were so nice. Park host was so sweet

Was at this campground memorial day weekend. We were on site 98. The picnic table was on a sloop, to the point you could not even sit anything on it with out if rolling off. There was plenty of level land to put it on. The bath house you could not even lock the door and there was not bench, no hooks or anything for when you shower. You have to put your things in the floor and then they get wet. They need something for people showering. We want go back to salt lick campground

It rained during most of our stay but we were still able to enjoy kayaking in the mornings. Our camp site was very clean and level. Easy to launch the kayaks right at our site. We got there pretty late and had no issue using the code to get into the gate. The camp host visited us the next day to make sure everything was good and give us our car pass. We will definitely be back!

This was our first time stay and we love it! It’s beautiful, peaceful, and family friendly! Lots of room on your sites, amazing views, sandy beach area with roped off swimming area, nice playground for the kiddos, staff are super friendly! We will got sure be coming back, I highly recommend! Also, not sure if it was just luck that we come on a weekend they had planned a carnival or if it is something they do, maybe they do different events, but that was also fun for the kids!

Policies & Rules

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.
