Basic Campground amenities include defined campsites, fire rings and/or grills, picnic tables, vault toilet, trash removal, mowed areas, and a boat ramp.
Land Between the Lakes has Basic, Dispersed, and Self-Service camping options as alternatives to the more developed campgrounds. We have 11 self-service campgrounds and 5 designated basic camping facilities which offer year-round lakeside camping. Although these areas have fewer amenities than our developed campgrounds, they can offer solitude and a more primitive camping experience.

A Dispersed Camping Permit is required when camping in non-designated areas of the recreation area. Both permits currently cost $50 for an annual permit and $10 for a 3-day permit and can be purchased online or any of our facilities.

Camping,fishing, hiking. If your fishing for bass, go to the point on the right side. Cast out 20- 40 yards and drag on bottom. Large worms work great out there. HUGE BASS!
Nice basic campground with views and easy access to water. Does not have facilities other than a vault toilet. Campsites, have tables and fire pits, permit required for camping.
