Camping

Camping at the lakes is an experience to remember. You can choose shoreline sites, fairly-open sites or wooded sites. 

Overnight facilities are available daily between May 1 through October 31, and are located at the Ives Run Area, on the south shore of Hammond Lake. 

There are 131 family camp sites which include hook-up for electric, water and sewer, and 32 primitive hike-in sites. Water hydrants are conveniently located throughout the campground. 

Camping permits will be placed on the campsite post the day your reservation starts. No one may camp more than 14 consecutive days in any 30 day period.  Campers and their visitors must park on campsite pads or campground parking lots only.  A dump station is provided.

  • For reservations call the National Recreation Reservation Service at 877-444-6777 or www.recreation.gov.
  • If campers fail to arrive on the day of their reservation the reservation will still stand until the site holder cancels with the National Recreation Reservation Service.
  • Campground check in is 4:00 p.m. Campground checkout is 3:00 p.m., and is strictly enforced. Failure to leave campground before 3:00 p.m. may results in late fee or citation. Campers arriving early/before check-in will be asked to wait in Day Use Facilities until 4 p.m.
