Martin Bay Campground

Spots 28/29 Camp sites are inexpensive and spacious, but COVERED in goat heads/ stickers. Not even a clearing for a walking path or to put a tent/camper. So bad my 80 pound lab wouldn’t go off the rug I put down. In our shoes, in our clothes, and often in our feet- it was terrible. Bathrooms are consistently busy and water access is very limited, often busy. Love the lake, won’t camp here again.

Nice spot. Tons of beach areas. Toilets were clean. Everybody was very helpful. You can easily beach a smaller boat. the beach sand is really dry and easy to get stuck in. Plenty of firewood in the tree areas. I'll be back for sure.

We stayed at site 25 over 3 days in July. Overall we (family of 4) enjoyed our stay, and the kids enjoyed fishing in the lake. But the burrs and the lack of drinking water were a problem. Some people also run their generators at night which was annoying. The map showed a faucet near our site but it did not work. The sites at Little Thunder campground (about a mile away) had flush toilets, showers, and drinking water tho.

Stayed on campground 33, absolutely covered in goat heads. There was no space that wasn’t covered in them. No shade on this spot or trees, it was too open. Other than that the lake was overly smelly bathrooms close to us by the boat ramp were a mess, looked like no one gave it any attention. Maybe it was just this day but I’ll give the lake another look but not this side of it. At least clear off the goat heads and it would’ve made things so much nicer regardless.

Started off bad and just got worse. Rough windstorm destroyed two tents and had to buy another in town. No one cares about quiet hours, people talking and driving around at all hours of the night, plus road traffic. Only porta potties and not very many. Loudest place I’ve ever camped. Long way down to the beach. Train goes by at all hours. Never again.
