The campground is quite a way from the main road but that does depend a bit on how your GPS sends you in to the park. Lots of space between sites and good biking/walking opportunities in park. We stayed in site 56 which is on the water but the pad was very slanted - need blocks to level.

I absolutely love to camp at Rend Lake. The spots are clean and the people are friendly. Very clean area and the fishing is great. The only negative thing I could possible say is people need to keep a grip on their barking dogs. We have a dog and are animal lovers but when dogs bark all day it disrupts the peaceful lake environment.

We stayed on site 56 with electric and water but no sewer hookup. The site slopes towards the lake so make sure you bring something to level that side of your trailer/RV. Beautiful view of the lake facing east so the view of the sunset from this site isn’t good. Except for boating and fishing there isn’t much to do in the area.

It was our first outing in our Class A RV , it was a wonderful experience in this beautiful park. We got a spot on the lake and the park personal were great. I only live approximately 40 miles from it but I will definitely be back to enjoy the natural beauty and relaxation.

Very nice area for biking! RV Sites are mostly level and many bordering on the lake! This was my second stay and thoroughly enjoyed my time at the park.

Site was beautiful. Campground was amazing and clean. The staff was tremendous. Site 56 was fairly level. We had to use leveling blocks on the passenger side and thats it easy set up. Cant wait to return.

The camp sites are very nice. Large enough for privacy. Bath house is exceptionally clean! Host was terrific! So, needless to say we would visit often.....unless the skunk population get any worse! The SKUNKS have taken over the campground!!! They are not at all afraid of us humans. In fact, will come right up to the fire pits while you are sitting there! So many and so fearless we saw several out rummaging even during the day! They are nocturnal creatures!
