We stayed at site 17 and it was lovely. It is very big and set back from the road. There are a couple spots for tents, but we slept in our vehicle. There arent any perfect trees for a hammock but if you wanted to stretch the ropes out you could make it work. It is barely down the road from the vault bathrooms. Site 18 is right across from the bathrooms and it has an amazing view of the lake but the site itself is tiny and close to the road. The roads getting to the campground are in mostly good condition. Six miles off the hwy and then 3 miles off that road. There is a resident bear that lives in the park, multiple campers saw him, but he was always running away in every encounter.The lake itself is surrounded by lily pads and not great for swimming. A flotation device, kayak, or small boat would be ideal to get to the center of the lake where it is clear. There are croppie, large mouth bass, and trout in the lake for fishing.

Fish Lake NEVER disappoints! Well except for the millions of mosquitos! The Forest service people are so kind and friendly and do a great job of taking care of the place. The only negative response I have about it is the road leading to Fish Lake. It really needs to be cleared. It is CRAZY overgrown and in places it was barely wide enough for our truck.
