Piety Island Campground is located on Detroit Lake with easy boat-in access from the northeast side of the island. In the winter, depending on water levels and weather conditions sites are available on a walk-in basis. All of the campsites offer great views of Detroit Lake. Come watch the 4th of July fireworks display each year, or take a short but challenging hike to the top of Piety Knob.
Located in the middle of the North portion of Detroit Lake Travel by boat from Mongold State Park, Detroit Lake State Park, Detroit Marina, Kanes Marina, Detroit Flats, Hoover Campground, Cove Creek Campground, or Southshore Campground Access to the campground is from the north side of the island. The closest boat ramp is at Cove Creek Campground, but parking may be limited.
Boat in camp spots, no water on the island. Not well taken care of by campers or forest service. Generally quiet, with great views.
The early morning view from campsite 1 is spectacular, but there is no running water, the outhouses are unusable and there is so much trash and broken glass that it is dangerous not only for dogs and children but for unprepared adults as well. It is sad how poorly people care for there Mother Nature. This Islands needs some attention.
