Tappan Lake Park offers a variety of campsites that range from full hook-up to primitive campsites nestled in the woods. More than 550 campsites are available for RVs and tents to camp for a night or longer (discounted 30-day camping rates are also available). Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. If you choose an electric campsite, 30-amp service is provided.
Enjoy the beautiful park setting all summer with seasonal camping. Whether you choose to stay in the campground all season or prefer the convenience of a campsite ready for your enjoyment, seasonal camping offers a discount from the daily camping rate. A seasonal camping permit is available for a seven (7) month period, April 1 - October 31. A limited number of campsites are designated for seasonal camping.
From town: Go 7-1/2 mi W on US 250, then 3 mi S on CR 55.
Nice campground. Sites are nice and spacious. Dog friendly. Decent restrooms that seem pretty clean. Multiple playgrounds.
Kids had an absolute blast water boarding behind the ski boat. Everyone was extremely friendly too, great place to spend some time with the family :-)
The park gets five stars, the park admin gets one. I pulled into section five last night to find my reserved site had a hunter in it. I called the office and the girl just kept saying she sees nothing for that site except me. She asked for a description of the camper and told me to pick another site. She never sent anyone down to talk to the people in a wrong site and I was left in a site I did not like or want. Also I think $50 for off season senior rate is a bit high. Thinking I won't be returning.
This is a nice area connected to several trails, piers, and a little beach. We took the trail which starts past the amphitheater and runs along the water for a while. There were a lot of really nice views of the water. The walk is slightly hilly but not very difficult.
If you get to this main area from the west end of the lake and 280, the drive is very lovely countryside all the way. The rest area on the other side close to the dam is also a nice place to see the lake and have a picnic. There's some room for the kids to run around too.
What a perfect week! Perfect spot. Perfect weather. Perfect amenities and perfect place to visit. Clean as a whistle! Staff pleasant and a great place DURING THE WEEK to hang out. Not sure about weekends but definitely a good place to relax without anyone around week days in late August. Stayed in area 5. Sites are spaced far enough apart for privacy! Rented a fishing boat for the day. Tappan Lake is a great place to just fish or relax! Will return!
