Lake Russell Recreation Area and Campground

Once you visit the Lake Russell Recreation Area, you’ll quickly see why this spot has become a favorite for families and really anybody looking for an outdoor escape. Fully developed for tent campers and RVers alike, these two loops of campsites lie right next to the serene Lake Russell, amid a gorgeous hardwood forest. It won’t take you long after parking the car to kick off your sandals and run through the grassy beach for a dip in the lake, but the fun doesn’t stop there since this campground also offers hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, and boating!
