The US Army Corps of Engineers operates this lakeside campground along the shores of Somerville Lake, roughly three miles south of town. Sites spread across wooded terrain that provides natural screening between camping areas, with several positioned directly on the water's edge.
Campers gain immediate access to the lake for boating and water sports. Nikki S. noted the campground's "wooded area that provided natural fencing between us and other campers" along with convenient water access. The marina component means jet skiers and boaters frequently use the facilities. Site #117 sits right on the water, as Lara H. discovered during a July 4th stay.
The campground operates year-round with standard amenities including restrooms, a dump station, and a camp store. Clean bathrooms earn consistent mentions from visitors, though Kevin C. pointed out limited signage for navigation and minimal help from office staff in locating sites. The natural setting brings typical outdoor encounters—expect spiders and other wildlife in the wooded sections.
For campers seeking different settings around the lake, Rocky Creek offers an alternative less than a mile away.
