"Visitors consistently praise the park's marina, clean facilities, scenic lake and variety of campsites; staff and amenities (showers, laundry, dump) receive positive mentions. Common issues noted are seasonal shutdowns of water/showers/dump, occasional pest sightings (centipedes), and many RV sites being electric-only (no sewer)."

Best Time to Camp at Bobcat Run Campground

Bobcat Run operates year-round, with water and shower facilities typically running from April 1st through October 31st (exact dates can shift slightly). Summer is all about the lake—warm days that beg for a swim or an afternoon on the boat. But don't overlook fall, when the oak canopy erupts in autumn color and cooler temperatures make for perfect hiking and some of the year's best fishing. Winter and early spring offer a quieter experience for campers who appreciate having the trails and shoreline mostly to themselves.

About Bobcat Run Campground
