A simple campground with all electric sites. There is a water fill-up station, no dump. Nice hiking trails and close to the lake/bridge. Reception is spotty. It's quiet and very dark at night. Traffic noise in the day. It's self service, just fill out the envelope and pick an open site. $22/night. There is a picnic pavilion too.

Tent camped in early February, (yes it was quite chilly) the campground was nice, pretty well kept and not busy. One thing i would point out is, especially if you are tent camping, you will be able to hear cars crossing over the bridge. so if you are a light sleeper or just don’t enjoy the sound of cars, this spot may not be for you. There was a little creek near our spot which was a cool little addition, there was also plenty of available limbs which we were able to use for our fire. This spot was very easily accessible, and a great spot if you will be heading out on the lake while there. You can also take the path from the campground over the bridge (about a 1 mile walk) if you want a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise!

This was my 4th time camping at Fenton campground. The electric box power went out, so I could not charge my phone, make coffee or use my small tent fan. I don't mind paying extra for electric. But when I did not have it, I wasn't happy. I always leave my campspots clean. This time, previous campers left it a mess. I cleaned it up before even setting up. And even though I wasn't a happy camper! I left it clean. Do better people! Think about the campers using the spot after you leave! In the morning I packed up and left. I was going to stay 1-2 more nights. Normally I pay in advance. This time I paid for one night. Thank goodness.

Nice little spot to fish off the bank near the bridge. Caught some small bass and sunfish right by the boat ramp.
