Ottawa Lake Campground

Everything about this park was nice. Sites were big with a nice mix of tent and rv campers spread through the sites. The lake is clean and has a small beach. There's a great nature trail across the highway for hiking (no dogs allowed here). The rest of the park was pretty dog friendly. The DNR employees at the park entrance were friendly and very helpful. We will definetely be camping here again.

We picked our spot because it was different. He did have electricity, but it also had like an upper lounge area where most sites were flat. We enjoyed our time here, we would hear the highway sometimes, but most of the time, we heard other campers or wildlife. We have a lot of fun here.

Great place for a picnic, hike, or camping vacation. About 1/3 of the sites have electrical hookups. Two sites are hike-in, and there is an ADA accessible cabin. Three large reservable picnic shelters. Nice beach with shelter, changing rooms and bathrooms. Recent changes include: Lots of new sign posts to clarify and enlarge the pets-allowed area Campsite signposts getting signage (stickers) with QR code for online registration Future changes: Annual sticker valid for rolling 12 months instead of calendar year effective 1/1/2025 Checkout time earlier (1:00 pm) effective 1/1/2025 Out of state rates increasing 1/1/2025

Very well used campgrounds, bathrooms are worn out , showers do have warm water, campsites are spacious and private. Limited for dog owners because small space for dog swim area and limited area for dogs to walk. (Best to leave your pup home on this one. Nice beach area with geese walking among the beach goers. Watch out for the goose poop!

Wanted to go test out my new canvas tent but there are so many seasonal/transient campers. Its unacceptable that more than 3 quarters of this campground is full in the middle of Feburary, with temps reaching -4 over the weekend. The DNR needs to do something about these people, maybe consider doubling the price and not allowing more than 3 nights in 2 weeks.
