Fulton County Rec Area operates year-round with sites accommodating RVs up to 70 feet and electric hookups available for $10-$20 per night. The county-managed campground provides drinking water, restrooms with showers, and a dump station, though maintenance quality varies according to camper reports. Sites include both level and uneven terrain, with tent campers noting some areas slope enough to cause gear to slide.
The lake supports kayaking and fishing, with geese frequently visible on the water. Dogs accompany campers throughout the property. For additional options, see campgrounds just outside Lewistown. The recreation area works best for RV campers seeking basic hookups and water access rather than those wanting extensive recreational programming.
