Aspen Grove Campground

Let me start by saying a much-needed trip for myself. I had the pleasure of staying at Aspen Campground and the opportunity to extend my stay. The choice became easy because of Jan and Richard. I met Richard last year while touring the area promised to return they both are very pleasant. They took care of the property as their own, we will return because of them two. I gave them a camping tradition gift. I found a stick that had the shape of whale. I carved a fish in the belly of the whale. We will be back soon thank you, Jan and Richard The MARTIN family will return.

Aspen Grove Campground and the Camp Hosts are wonderful. I would recommend going there for an evening hike or two. It’s very close to the lake and the water has lots of Crawfish.

Stayed in spot 048B and it was perfect for the 8 of us with 2 tents. Nice camp hosts with running water and bathrooms make this a great camp area. Parking for 2 but if you have more than that park at the marina and walk up. The site backed a hill with trees so it was really pretty with plenty of wildlife including this owl!

I stayed at both site 19 and 20 after the latter opened up my second night. Loop A is where the nice aspens and pines are and it's much better suited to tent camping, especially in the heat of the summer. Jan and Richard were the very best. Accommodating and helpful. They had their card reader set up to take the camping fees. And they had a couple hummingbird feeders by their camper so the whole campground was buzzing with them. The campground is less than half a mile to one of the marinas and there's also a small shop there if you need sundries, ice, or advice on the best spots to fish at.

The camp grounds in Aspen Grove's A and B loops are well maintained and quite nice. Loop A has almost all of its camp sites shaded by apen or pine trees and are perfect for tents and motor homes. Most of the sites have enough drive in room for at least 2 cars if not more. Loop B has fewer trees and much less shade at most of its camp sites. They are good for motor homes and canopies that need a lot of room to unfold but tend to be in direct sunlight all day. Both loops have dumpsters and a very well maintained and heated B.I.F.F.Y (bathroo In forest for you) but the metal toilets are very cold when you first sit down. You can buy fire wood from the camp hosts around $7 for 5 log wedges. The camp grounds are quite close to the marina which is only about 3 to 5 minutes away by car. Don't plan on docking your boat at this marina there is only 1 small dock on the launch ramp open to the public. The rest are private docks. Strawberry is a large lake and there are a few really nice places to camp off the lake that are only accessible by boat. Over all 10/10 would go again.
