Gull Lake Recreation Area
Established Campground
This Corps of Engineers campground sits on the shores of Gull Lake, offering 40 sites with picnic tables and fire rings. Mix of open and partially shaded sites with decent spacing between rigs. Popular with families during summer weekends, quieter midweek and shoulder seasons. Boat launch provides lake access for fishing or cooling off after dusty trail runs.
Access via paved county road — easy approach for any rig. Open May through October with flush toilets and potable water. Sites fill up quickly during fishing opener and July 4th weekend, so reserve ahead for peak times.
