Driving directionsFrom I-55, take the Grenada exit on highway 8 east through the City of Grenada for approximately three miles then turn left on Scenic Loop 333. Follow Scenic Loop 333 across the dam and take the second road to the right at the North end of the Dam.
The campground is accessible via paved roads, but during winter months, water levels in the reservoir are dropped by over 20 feet to provide spring rain storage and prevent flooding. The roads provide straightforward access to the campground.
