The chain of lakes provides ample opportunity for boating, fishing and swimming. Anglers can expect a catch of musky, walleye, northern pike, large and smallmouth bass, rock bass, perch, crappie and other panfish. The lakes are open to all types of boating, motorized and non-motorized. The campground does not offer a beach area so any swimming to be done will have to take place from your boat.

Nice site, good weather. We go for quiet, campers next to us were very loud until almost midnight! We do stay up late but like the peaceful nature sounds, not obnoxious campers. Who do we call, police to report this?

Sites were spacious and clean, sites have reasonable room between them and the boat launch nearby is very nice. Would definitely recommend if you're staying in the Three Lakes region.

Its a very nice campground with access to many Lakes. One issue with the campground is the lack of sites available for RESERVING. It seems the only sites available are #3, 4 and 8 when we go into find them. Even thou we are more than 2 weeks out. When we come from 3 hours away having only FF sites is a bit stressful. Not sure the site is up to date as when we arrived we looked at #5 and it had reserved signs on the post. But, when I looked at the website it said available as FF. Confusing. One other thing, it would be really nice if the bathroom had hand sanitizer. This added feature is very much needed on a bathroom w/o water. Thanks!
