What campers say

Camp Far West Lake offers a scenic lakeside setting popular for boating, jet skis, fishing and family outings. Campsites sit close to the water and a small store/check-in area provides basic supplies and a helpful attendant. Expect limited shade, no onsite showers (a hose by the store is sometimes available), and mixed reports about restroom upkeep. The site can be busy and noisy—many RVs and generators are common—so weekdays are typically quieter. Some visitors note steep nightly fees and rough road conditions on the Northshore access. Overall it’s strong for water recreation but has tradeoffs for tent campers seeking quiet.
