The campground is located on the shores of Brush Lake, which is entirely surrounded by National Forest System lands. There is a drive-in boat launch on the eastern shore of the river and a smaller carry-in boat launch in the campground. This site is very popular with anglers and hunters. It is also a popular wildlife viewing area and a good stop for viewing fall colors.

It didn't change much in the past 25 years but was groomed quiet and brought back so many great memories with Jim and the boys. Didn't have an out house then either. As rustic as it gets these days. Loved it!
Great off grid camping. You are truly out there. Not a big rig friendly campground. We found that out when google tells us to turn on a road that wasn’t there and we naively kept going and found a sign that said recreational park. We were trying to find a turn around. Quickly realized we were committed to this very narrow 1 lane road that is not maintained. Over grown trees scraped the sides and roof of our rv several times. Finally we realized it was the campground road. Very narrow loop that made it almost impossible to turn a 32 ft trailer. Found only 1 spot that could barley fit us. The trees at the campground are not maintained and are overgrown. Great spot for camping and small rigs. Not for big rigs.
Brush lake campground is beautifal peaceful cheap and worth the 10 dollar a night fee. Beautifal lake and spacious. Nice fire pits and respectful nice people. Great place for exploring and many trails for 2 tracking. Definitely great for camping and getting away from everything.
Only a few camping lots, I don't even know the pricing. I believe it's an honor system payment set up. I've never seen a ranger back there and I remember seeing a "insert payment here" sign similar to a usps drop box. Very beautiful, serene location that hasn't been touched (or destroyed) by human beings.
