Alpine Ridge - De Gray Lake

Within DeGray Lake's protected waters, this US Army Corps of Engineers campground operates year-round with sites accommodating RVs up to 65 feet. The forested setting provides natural shade, though Cultivating Fire L. notes campers shouldn't "expect good satellite due to the trees." Sites spread across the peninsula offer water views on three sides when lake levels cooperate.

The bathhouse receives daily maintenance attention, with campers consistently reporting strong water pressure and hot showers. A beach area provides swimming access during higher water periods, though lake levels fluctuate seasonally. Sites include electric and water hookups, with some locations requiring advance reservations. The campground tends to stay relatively uncrowded, particularly in shoulder seasons.

Camp hosts assist with after-hours arrivals, and the $24 nightly rate covers hookup access and use of the dump station. Pet owners find the campground welcoming, with standard leash requirements in effect. For those exploring the broader region, camping near DeGray Lake includes several other Corps-managed areas along the shoreline.

The combination of lakefront positioning and tree cover creates a setting where RV campers can enjoy water access without sacrificing shade or basic amenities.

Great showers!

The bath house was super clean and the shower was good and hot with plenty of pressure. The step down into the shower kept the other area from getting so wet. The campground was only about 20% full, probably because it is so secluded. We camped in #35 right next to the lake and enjoyed the lovely view.

Outstanding COE Park

One of our favorites in the area. Spots are fairly spread out. Nice bath houses. The shower water pressure is amazing and aintenance cleans daily. Lake was low at the time, but the beach area is nice. We arrived after hours and the camp hosts checked us in before the next morning, so we didn’t even have to do anything.
