Anglers seeking access to Island Lake will find Prairie Haven Campground operates as a fishing access point near Eckelson from May through October. The site provides electric hookups for RVs and allows both pets and alcohol, though one reviewer questioned whether overnight camping is actually permitted at this location.
The flat, open terrain sits directly adjacent to Island Lake, but campers should note that equipment is often parked on-site and signage identifies the area primarily as fishing access. GPS coordinates may not lead directly to the campground entrance, requiring additional navigation to locate the actual site. For more camping choices in the region, consider places to camp near Jamestown.
