Boaters and kayakers gain direct access to Bantam Lake from Point Folly Campground, a small lakefront facility operating from early May through Columbus Day. The privately managed campground provides water and sewer hookups for RVs, along with pit toilets and a dump station. Sites on the west side of the lake face flooding during heavy rains, while the east side experiences stronger winds.
Campers can access the grounds by car, boat, or on foot, with campfires permitted and pets welcome. The quiet setting draws repeat visitors despite basic amenities, particularly those focused on fishing and paddling activities.
