★★★★★ 5.0 Chandler S · Sep 2025

What a nice campground. We stayed two nights and had a very good experience. The entire campground is very clean and a great price. The beach and trails nearby were in great condition. It was not crowded and we will definitely come back. We brought our dogs and really enjoyed staying near the water. Very close to the skyway and lots of other recreation opportunities. Our only complaints were 1. the bathrooms were cleaned every morning from 8-9am which is prime time for most people needing to use the bathroom. They were very clean which was nice, but a less traffic time would be better. 2. The bathroom lights were pretty bright, even from across the loop. It would be nice if these would be dimmed or turned off in evening hours.

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! The kids loved playing in the water. Took a canoe out around the water! Beautiful place to relax and spend time with family. Highly recommend stopping here.

This place was amazing! Just beautiful and people were kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, camping. Great place for families. Beach was very clean and the grass area under the trees... Great place to picnic

If you really want to unplug, and be in a stunning atmosphere this. is your place. We went fishing, and did very well. We hiked around the high mountain lake. If you are on the camping side by the lake, you can leave your kayak right on the lake edge by your camp site and go out in it anytime you want. One of my favorite things to do is paddle over to the beach area from my camp site for an evening swim. The bathroom are SPOTLESS, and our campground host, (Martha), is like being hosted and looked after by a friend. There is nothing like walking out on their little pier in the evening to watch the sunset over the mountains. I've been going here for years.

Indian Boundary Rec area consists of camping (electric on sight), picnic areas, and a beautiful lake with a large beach. The lake has a boat ramp. We saw kayaks and fishing boats on the lake. The beach is huge with a grassy bank, outdoor pavilion, and sample parking. The lake setting is beautiful surrounded by mountains. There is a 3.1 mile hiking trail that goes around the lake. Mostly shaded. Camping requires 5 day advance booking online. Note: There is a white paper sign at each campsite. Telling you what day the next camper will arrive and how long they will stay. So if a site is open you can camp there. If the site has a reservation starting in 3 days. You can camp for 3 days. The best way is to book a reservation online. There is a camp store with food, ice, bait, etc. Nice folks.
