Payne Campground

Since July 4th,2024 I’ve went here at least once a day-Here we are at 8/6/24 and I still go- It’s absolutely gorgeous here,the Folks that work in the front are amazing.If your looking for a place that’s easily accessible to the water,this is the spot- But don’t take my word for it,see for yourselves

Payne is a larger campground than a few others in the area, but the loops mean most sites have water access. There is a nice clean swimming area, sectioned off with bright yellow booms. The staff is always available and very helpful. Plenty of safe space for kids to play. We were in site 34 and loved it. We just backed in to the site! We have an electric awning on our camper and it was hot when we arrived, but shortly after, the breeze kicked in and it was delightful.

Bring a shower matt to put down when u go to the showers here.. water is hot.. it's a quite spot to camp and everyone is very friendly..

Picture of campsite didn't match the campsite. Swampy and smelly. People brought dogs to play on the beach. Since we stayed there for five nights we were able to scout out better camp sites for future visits. Attendants were very friendly and professional. Dislike new check in and checkout time. Responsible campers are being hurt by those that don't vacant campsites on time, hence the new check out time. Charge late fees versus making us leave early- brought a day but not even getting a half day of use.

Quite campground with a great space to kayak and swim thanks to the large cove it’s place in. There is a beach area but not needed, the cove limits boat or PWC speed and traffic so it’s very peaceful part of the lake. Most of the sites are hilly with walking paths or stairs to the lake or sitting areas on the campsite. We stayed at site 41, see the attached photo.
