The campground is arranged in two wooded loops and TOTAL CAMPSITES: 33; SITE TYPE BREAKDOWN: 33 Both RV Sites & Tent Sites, so every site can accommodate either tents or recreational vehicles.

Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (47 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“I spent 5 quiet days at Round Lake Campground. It was glorious! The weather was perfect! Campground wasn’t crowded. There are no showers, just pit toilets but they didn’t smell! I had a great time to sit and reflect and enjoy the quiet of the forest.. can’t wait to go back!”

Carolyn P 4 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Sites are small, not much room for tents. Better for small/medium trailers. Boat launch has no dock which is interesting. Otherwise nice place.”

Michael D 3 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Clean and large campsite, clean beach, beautiful area”

How far ahead to book Round Lake

For June weekends, book about 80 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 22 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

August13 days ahead42 days ahead19 days ahead95 days ahead
September19 days ahead51 days ahead14 days ahead59 days ahead

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 (2,051 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.
