Comment

Island Park Campground.  Most sites are dry camping.  25 sites have electric hookups.  Sites are reservable through recreation.gov.  The campgrounds ticket machine located at the entrance was off-line with a note to make reservations on the website or by phone.  Cell service in the park is poor with better reception at the top of the park hill.  Campbase was able to make a same-day reservation on-line from the top of the hill.  There were approximately 20 Air TV channels available.  The park has a launch ramp for boats.  Restrooms and showers were available.  There are no services available near the campground.  The marina is just a short distance away.  Boat docks are available at the marina.  The parks dump station was closed during our visit.  Campground roads are paved and many sites have a lake view.  Although RV's to approximately 50 feet can be accommodated, access roads to the park are winding and narrow.  RV's to just 25 feet are recommended by Campbase.
