What campers say

Lake Poinsett Recreation Area is a well‑kept state park with mature trees, flowerbeds, plentiful shade and many waterfront campsites, plus a large marina. It’s popular for boating, fishing, hiking and disc golf, and families like the playground and swimming areas—shorelines by campsites can be rocky. Restrooms and showers are generally clean, though a few visitors noted the women’s facilities could use deeper cleaning. Sites accommodate large RVs, but tenters should be aware drainage or terrain may prevent driving up to some sites. Occasional algae blooms have been reported but tend to clear quickly; nearby grocery options are limited.
