Learn more about alerts →Anglers and boaters who can reserve a full-hookup site early: the on-site boat launch, fish-cleaning station, and reliable walleye and bass fishing are the real draw. Birdwatchers also do well here, Sandhill cranes and eagles are regularly spotted along the reedy shoreline.
Tent campers expecting shade or a sandy beach will be disappointed, the tent loops are dirt, cramped, and sparse on trees. Add severe mosquitoes that bite through clothing in spring and early summer, murky water prone to algae blooms, and shoreline swimming that's rarely worth it

Summer brings the park's best conditions: highs between 80 and 95°F, cool nights in the 50s and 60s, and reliable sun for boating and swimming. Spring and early summer see heavy mosquito and biting-fly activity. Visitors report insects biting through clothing. So DEET repellent and screened tents are essential. Shoulder-season nights are chilly enough that campers advise packing extra blankets before June. Weekdays remain manageable even in summer, but weekends fill quickly.
Summer is best: warm days, cool nights, reliable sun for boating and swimming.
