Located in George Washington State Forest on Owen Lake, managed by Scenic State Park. The campground is considered "primitive," designed to furnish only the basic needs of the camper. The campsites consist of a cleared area, fire ring, and table. In addition, vault toilets, one dumpster, and drinking water are available. All sites are on a first come, first served basis for a fee.
This state forest campground is nestled under a healthy stand of red pines on the lake's western shore.
