Drive thru (bike) review. We stayed at the USFS Arrowhead Campground 2 miles down the road. If you need a site with electric then Arrowhead is the place. All sites here are non-electric. All the sites are huge as far as size. All the sites, including the last 2-3 miles of the access road are gravel. A few of the sites are waterfront. Large shady forest setting. Nice restrooms with free showers. Water to fill your RV is available, but no dump station. You can use Arrowheads dump station 2 miles down the road. Most sites are level or close to it. When I rode thru there was no one there as it was mid-week except the camp host.
About this campground
What campers say
Badin Lake Campground offers easy lake access and many sites with lake views, picnic tables and grills; a few group sites provide roomy space and central fire rings. Campsites are mostly unserviced (no electrical or water hookups) and tent pads are gravel, so bringing extra padding and supplies is helpful. Restrooms and showers are available but cleanliness and hot-water reliability vary. Sites tend to sit close together, so noise from neighbors and weekend crowds is possible, though many visitors find the park quiet and family-friendly during weekdays. Expect a short unpaved drive and occasional boater-related litter in some areas.
