I have checked out many other campgrounds in my area but I always go back to IB. I have been camping at Indian Boundary for 53 years with children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. Never had a bad experience.

I have camped here since I was a child. I’m now 60 and it’s as good as ever. The fact that you can’t get internet or cell phone service is the best part. Allows one to totally disconnect from outside world. Just wish it was easier to get a spot. It’s gotten very popular over the years. The only down side is there is no water or sewage at each site. But still worth it.

It’s a beautiful campground nestled in to the trees. The sites are well spaced, shady, and level. Bathrooms are good, campstore is great. Zero cell reception. Don’t forget to fill your freshwater tank before parking. There is a 3 mile trail around the lake.
