★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Chris S · Jun 2025

Had a 4-night stay with extended family across three campsites. The lake itself is nice, and the campground is decent — nothing fancy, but functional. Our water spigot was nearly 40 feet away and down a hill. Sites aren't truly level — more like “mostly level if you park right.” Some have no gravel pad. Lakeside sites were soggy; I saw one camper need a skid steer and rope to get pulled out. The swimming area isn’t a beach (see picture with the swim mat off the dock)— it has a rocky, muddy, weedy bottom. Some docks could use structural improvement. Bathroom building was concrete and clean. 25 cents for a 6 minute shower. Worms available in the store, but no licenses available onsite. The campground sits in a quiet, shallow, weedy bay at the far end of the lake. On the plus side, we saw a

This was our 2nd year staying... We absolutely enjoyed our stays. We are definitely sad that you guys are switching to just seasonal sites, but totally understand why. We just want to thank you for all the wonderful memories! God Bless!

Just got back from a great weekend staying here. We camped two nights. Sites are big. Power and water hookups are kind of in a funny spot so make sure you have plenty of hose and extension cords. Shower/ bath house was very clean! We have stayed at Nelson lake as well. And this place was just easier and didn't have any funny rules. We will be back for sure!

We enjoyed our stay, did some kayaking!. Plenty of things for the kids, swimming beach with water toys, dock for your boat and fishing. Owner where very accommodating, gave us better sites once we arrived to better fit our needs. Will visit again!

Our family really enjoyed our time at Sunrise Bay Campground. The owners were very friendly and helpful. There is a little shop in the office. One of the owners makes most of the shirts/sweatshirts. There was a design my husband wanted but they didn't have his size or the color he wanted. She took the order, made the shirt and brought it by our campsite a couple hours later. The restrooms and fish house were kept clean. We will definitely stay here again the next time we camp in the area!!
