Goose Lake State Forest Campground

It was an amazing campground wishing there was a beach for the kids to play at but there is a park not to far for the campground to play and swim at. Nice quit space to camp we all loved it might have to go again next year.

It's rustic with maintained dirt through roads, insulated fire rings, vault toilets and pump water. Garbage dumpsters are regularly tended. Most campers are there to enjoy nature. Fish, kayak, have friends and family time. Making memories and returning for the tradition. Unfortunately, in the last couple of years, some rather inconsiderate few have wanted to loudly party throughout the whole night into morning. Leaving their broken bottles, tops, and trash scattered on the sites. The DNR are in regularly throughout the week. Nice folks. Oh yes, and have your current fishing license on you if you are fishing. ;) :)

Great little area to camp Cute little firepits Public benches Spots on the water too

Really nice visuals, close enough to drive to grab bite, but just far enough out to let you enjoy a nice sunset. Campground is a tad small for bigger RVs, water is available via hand pump only. Heads-up: vault toilets only, and no electric.

My family tries camping there at least once a year. The bathrooms are a lot cleaner than other state forest campgrounds I've been too. It's fairly close to Lake City, but far enough that it's quiet when you need it to be.
