Nestled among a stunning chain of eight glacial lakes, Oakwood Lakes Campground welcomes you to a tranquil, tree-shaded retreat where spacious grassy sites meet easy waterfront access. This family-friendly haven is beloved by campers who come to boat, fish, swim, and explore the scenic shoreline trails throughout the seasons.
A multi-use state park campground with RV-capable sites (including electric and 20/30‑amp and some 50‑amp service and pull-through/big‑rig friendly sites), camping cabins, and dedicated horse camping areas. Sites are described as shaded, grassy, and drive-in.
The park area was reportedly used as a summer camp and gathering place for American Indian groups. A log cabin built by Samuel Mortimer in 1869 is noted as a historic feature within the park. Weather and SeasonsOakwood Lakes transforms beautifully with each season, welcoming visitors year-round. Summer brings the full campground experience with warm swimming days, excellent boating conditions, and all amenities in full swing including showers and flush toilets. When winter blankets the lakes in ice, a different kind of magic emerges—ice fishing shanties dot the frozen surface and cross-country ski trails wind through snow-dusted oaks. Note that from roughly October through April, the campground operates in winter mode with vault toilets available while water-dependent facilities take their seasonal rest.
