About
Indian Lake Islands Campground consists of 52 boat-access-only campsites (plus one group site) scattered across islands on Indian Lake, about 12 miles south of Indian Lake village. There are no roads to the sites - you'll need your own boat or a rental to reach your campsite - and facilities are limited to pit toilets, with no showers, electric, or water hookups. Dogs are allowed with proof of current rabies vaccination but must be leashed and cannot be left unattended. Bring your own drinking water; the campground generally operates July through early September.
Fees
Primitive boat-access sites run about $14 per night plus a $7.25 reservation fee, with an additional $5 per night for out-of-state campers. No hookups are available.
