West Lake Campground

There are 36 sites; sites 1-5 are walk-in tent sites. All have electricity except for the walk-in sites. Each site has a picnic table, fire grate and tent pad. All campsites with a tent pad have a bear locker. This is a very popular, high-use area. Popular activities include fishing and hiking in the woods around the campground.
