About
Carrol Lake Campground, sites 101-119, is located in the southern portion of the forest on the south-central part of Carrol Lake. This campground is well used because of the generally good fishing for both panfish and game fish on this 352-acre lake. There are two vault toilet buildings, two hand pumps for drinking water and separate trash and recycling dumpsters. Additionally, there is an ADA-accessible fishing pier, boat launch and picnic area with an adjacent parking lot. There is a small swimming area inside the campground and a large sandy beach for swimming can be found across the road at the Clear Lake Picnic area.
Site 106-107 is a double campsite. It can accommodate up to 12 people and two-wheeled camping units.
Sites 101-103, 110-111 and 118-119 are walk-to, tent-only sites where campers must walk a short distance from their cars to the campsite.
This campground is open the Thursday before Memorial Day to Labor Day.
