Helpful Hints
We DO NOT take reservations. But, for motor homes, trailers, pop-ups and truck campers, give us a call before your departure and we will let you know if we have a site available for you!
From about the last week of June through Labor Day, we are normally full by Thursday evening. It would be best to get here Thursday morning to make sure you have a spot for the weekend!
A few spots normally open up Friday or Saturday morning.
The best time to come is Sunday - Wednesday. We start to get very busy on Thursdays!
We cannot accommodate groups because we are not a very large area.
If you have a fold-up table, please bring it! When we have busy weekends it is hard for us to accommodate a picnic table for everyone!
Bring an extra extension cord, just in case you are not set up adjacent to an electric pole.
We are adjacent to a 13 mile bike path, so if you have bicycles, bring them! It is a beautiful ride.
We have camping on both the lake side and the bay side (wooded area).
Camping on the lake side is on the beach. It is open camping, meaning there are no designated sites. We have water and electric along the beach road. The closer you get to the water, the further you get from the utilities. We do not allow pets on the lake side. We do have a dump station on the lake side.
Our bay side campground is a wooded area, with designated, numbered sites. Many include cement pads with water, electric, sewage and cable TV. This is primarily where our motor homes, trailers, and truck campers stay. We have areas for tents and pop ups in our wooded area as well! We do allow pets on our bay side, as long as you keep them on a leash and clean up after them.
We don't have grills, but we do have fire rings. You can bring a rack to cook on, or we sell racks in the store that fit perfectly on top of the fire ring!
We do have a no campfire zone on the beach. As long as you are not camping in the "No campfire zone" then you are allowed to have a campfire, but it must be contained in the fire ring.
The beach gets very windy at times to make sure you have sturdy tent stakes that will keep your tent down! We don't want you blowing away!
If we don't answer the phone, try again! It means we are either on the other line with a customer or handling a customer in the office!
We do sell firewood for $5.00. If you bring your own there are no pallets or wood with nails allowed.
Our showers take quarters. It is 25 cents for 5 minutes of hot water. We charge for showers to limit those who love long showers.
We do not have a boat launch, but there are many inside the state park! The nearest one is 1 mile away.
There is no fishing allowed on our beach because of children in the water!
Alcoholic beverages are allowed, but please NO glass bottles!
Security on duty: Thursday - Sunday
