With 22 unserviced campsites well suited for RVs and tents, Swan Lake is a perfect getaway for your summer holiday. Most sites are surrounded by trees, with a few choice sites located next to the lake. Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Vault toilets and non-potable water pumps are available throughout the campground.

Please ensure you bring firewood, drinking water, and a map of the area if you plan to visit as no services are available, and cell phone reception is limited.

While campers may take advantage of the proximity to off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails, off-loading or operating OHVs inside the park is strictly prohibited. OHVs must remain on trailers until they reach the nearby trail systems and staging areas.
