Camping at Sylvan Park near Sylvan Grove

Public campground · Sylvan Grove · 25 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The recreational draw here centers on the water: Wilson Lake's clear water and the Saline River's high salinity contribute to excellent fishing, particularly for striped bass, which anglers have reported growing to impressive sizes; the lake is also stocked with walleye, large- and smallmouth bass, white bass, and channel and flathead catfish through the state's stocking program. Boating is the dominant pastime there's room for water skiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing and sailing and the campground's ramp makes launching straightforward.

How far ahead to book Sylvan Park

For May weekends, book about 156 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 62 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,327 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
