Woods Lake Campground

I’m just gonna use this caption to cover several things I couldn’t fit into the reel.

1. The sites are first come, first served, meaning there’s no possibility of making a reservation beforehand online.

2. I’ve been told that the lake is stocked with some of the most beautifully colorful fish you’ve likely ever caught, but they have a strict catch-and-release policy.

3. And very important: I’d come prepared with a way to cook your food that isn’t a campfire — as this area is often under a fire ban. Don’t be THAT PERSON.

Site Fees:

Single Site: $20 per night

Equestrian Site: $22 per night

Day Use / Picnic: $6 per day

Additional Vehicle: $10 to $11 per night

Firewood: $10 per bundle (if allowed)
