Awesome place for fun on the water with friends and family. I worked on Rend Lake for 20 years. Beautiful recreational area for boating, camping. Come see for yourself. Kayak and bike trails over entire lake. Beautiful sunsets.

Love this campground. Large treed sites with paved parking spots, each has a concrte pad for entrance and picnic tables. 47 0f the 147 sites have full hookups, all others have electricity. Many with lake views. Plenty of wildlife to view. Plus a large group area.
