My wife and I, along with a friend and two dogs stayed here for 4 nights and absolutely loved it! We stayed in a class b camper at the site closest to one of the cabins. Full electric hookups, fresh water, and black/gray water dump area. Johnnie was very pleasant to communicate with and he was also quick to respond to messages. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with beautiful views and lots of exploring I would definitely recommend this place!

I enjoyed this campsite! Directly on top of a ridge where if you walk down the ridge and a few steps to the right you are on the old zoo trail.
Some things I learned:
No service for me (Verizon user) unless I was on the dam (which I enjoyed being away from)
The guy who watches the camp is very helpful and kind and his dogs a gentle giant. Loved Thor and so did my small dog.
The site is more rock than dirt so I couldn’t stake my tent in the ground and it did get pretty windy on the ridge one night for us (be strategic with car parking + trees around you and put rocks in my tent to help.
There are toilets at the zoo trailhead so if you don’t mind walking a little you can use a toilet while tent camping.
1-2 nights max is what I’d recommend! The zoo trail is smaller so that + some paddle boarding on the lake maxed my time out. Any more nights and I’d be spending time outside the site/trail.

One of the coolest places we’ve ever stayed! Massive catfish in the river and lots of room to explore. The house is historic and super cozy! 10/10 would definitely recommend! Hosts were superb and were there anytime we needed them!

We went tent camping on Kegans land and had a great time. We loved the bridge and the sky full of stars. Campsites right by the river with firepits, grills, picnic tables and a bathroom with a shower. We were very happy.

5 nights at Little Off Lake House
This was a perfect get-away for a week from the city. It was quiet, peaceful, both the land and the house were top tier. I also loved how private it was, being tucked away from any main roads.

If you’re looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway then this is the perfect place. It seemed like we were the only ones there as the properties are far from each other.
The dock is great for fishing! Our boys loved to jump off the diving board to cool off.
This house is great as it’s fully equipped that you can pack just the necessities.
We got to see donkeys, long horn and deer. It was a fun little getaway.
Definitely a repeat trip.

Little off Lake House was a sweet spot to get away for a couple of days with our sons. We were tucked away and had just about one of the best views a person could want and need to rest their minds for a bit. The fishing was fun, they're plentiful, and Kellie providing the option adding on the barge topped it off. We played ping pong, watched movies and enjoyed the deck. The house was clean, mowed around and the AC works great. I would definitely recommend this place to unwind Thank y'all to Kellie and family for sharing with us :).

We loved the campsites! We were right by the water and had power and water hookups. We even had a place to put our boat at the dock. We would definitely book again! Thank you very much for a great holiday weekend!

I stayed in the summer of 2023 and this visit the lake level was much higher. Me, my son, one of his friends, and his friend's dad went. We had a fun guys weekend with plenty of fishing. Like before, the place was clean, the A/C worked well, and we all look forward to visiting again.

What an awesome spot. We had a great time relaxing and unplugging at this cabin. My kids enjoyed fishing and swimming since the lake was high. Made good use of the diving board! We will definitely be back. Kellie was a great host. Made sure we had all we needed and even brought a pole set up for catfish for our kids to try out. They landed a 15lb catfish on his rod. Great memories!
