Located on the southeast shore of 314-acre Eighth Lake—part of the Fulton Chain Lakes—the campground also has many sites along Seventh Lake. the campground opened in 1935 and has 126 tent and trailer sites. It’s popular for its hiking trails, paddling, fishing, and more.

The infrastructure project will replace the campground’s water and electric systems, repair roads in the campground, and rehabilitate the trailer dump station.
