Amenities available

Onegume campground is well-equipped with amenities that cater to both tent and RV campers. The majority of sites feature 30-amp electric hookups, and many are large enough to accommodate RVs up to 38 feet in length. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring. The campground also provides three drinking water spigots and three accessible vault toilets, which are spaced evenly throughout the facility. A fish cleaning building is a notable feature, especially beneficial for anglers utilizing the lake. "Lovely National Forest campground. Well maintained and quiet site," noted one user. However, there are no showers, flush toilets, or laundry facilities on-site, which some reviewers see as a drawback. It is also important to note that firewood is not sold at the campground and must be sourced locally. Cell phone service is spotty to non-existent for most carriers, making this a place to disconnect. Users have praised the campground for its rustic charm, cleanliness, and privacy between sites, with one reviewer stating, "The sites have nice separation and provide privacy. The campground is quiet and a good choice for families."
