Thanks. What do you know of Kerr Lake? That's his other suggestions. Again no nothing as I have not visited there yet.
Kerr lake. bring a boat. between bouys 1 and 3 the depth is around 100ft and in mid summer its the place to troll for striper, try a hopkins lure and troll it at about 25ft, number one is a mile back from the damn. If you want catfish, go to the end of the dead end road past the group area, there is a turn around, about 25 ft out into the water is a rock formation that the big cats hang out around right at sunset.
If you go straight across the lake from the campground there is a small island that is fun to play on.
Camground D was always my favorite but its only for pop ups and tents. Best sites are D206 and D207.
sites in A and B are also on the water however in most places its a short down hill (steep) to get to the water, might not be best for small children,
when you get in the water be careful, its wading depth for a bit out, but it drops off, not a slop mind you, it just drops.
All sections have bath houses withshowers, a short ride from the campground and you can get some of the best BBQ around at S&S BBQ, if you go the other way on (left) on 58 from 4 (bugs island rd) you can go to the state park, and I cant remember the exact turn off but there is a place off of 58 (used to be) that is a dirt road that takes you to a quarry that filled with water, we used to have tire swings to jump in.
there is also a large group campng area that is nice if you have a bunch of people. and, you will notice if its still there a playground as you enter pass the entrance shacks, road splits right after that, to the left is the A section, to the right is b c and d. Not sure if they ever made it but they were planning to create an area E on the other side of the inlet from D.
