Description

There is so much to explore and do at Backbone State Park that you might as well load up the camping gear and make a weekend (or longer!) out of it. The South Lake Campground offers modern amenities like electric hookups and a dump station for RVs and non electric sites for tents, and even has a playground for the little ones. This is the cushiest of campgrounds in the park so if you don’t feel like roughing it too much this is the sweet spot for you.
