Karick Lake South Campground – États-Unis

We're stationed at spot 9, which overlooks the lake. Many of the camping spots have a gradient of 6"-12", so make sure to check the details of the spot when booking. Those spots that are by the water are located on hillocks, with the size varying (the hillocks get larger with higher spot numbers). Odd numbered spots are by the water, while even numbered ones are inside the loop. To access spots 1 and 3, you'll need to take a left into the loop (from the bottom of the hill where the welcome sign is), for the rest, keep going straight and then follow the loop in a counterclockwise direction. There's ample space for bank fishing. It's also easy to obtain a fishing permit online. I managed to catch and release a small bass - the lake is well-stocked. There's a hiking trail around the lake and other parts of this section of the state forest. Mobile service is patchy but manageable. Firewood can be purchased from the Marathon gas station located south of Baker town center. For major supplies and food, head to Crestview. We didn't use the washrooms, but noticed the hosts cleaning them daily. The hosts are quite congenial, always greeting us as we pass by. We'll definitely be returning (next time with kayaks). Deducted one star due to noise - a training facility for Navy/Marine helicopter pilots is close by, so expect about six helicopter flyovers during the day. Both the county sheriff and state forest staff occasionally patrol the camping area.

Beautiful sites in this small campground (15 sites), but plenty of area to roam. Sites are older blacktop, but level, have a fire pit and picnic table. Quiet! Slept with the windows open just to listen to the song of the wildlife. The reflection off the lake from the North Campground on the lake, is pretty cool, especially with a fog. Site 8 is elevated, providing a nice lake view. Half the sites here are waterfront. There is a boat launch. You can park on the shore at your campsite. No swimming. Cell phone for Verizon works. The internet of Verizon works fairly well, from about midnight to 6:00 am. Other than that, pretty non existent. Antenna TV has a few channels. Mine struggled to pick up a network station in Alabama.

We stayed here mid-January, 2022. Had reserved our site well ahead of time and picked a nice lakefront site. It was extremely cold in January, so didn't do much outside and didn't put our kayaks in the lake. Site was level enough, long enough and had the standard picnic table & fire ring. No cell service with our T-Mobile so drove down the road to get at one point (needed weather - dog's outside water bowl frozen and we had lots of rain). Crestview is a good town to provision in, food, propane etc. Really pretty at night with the lights from the N campground. And we saw bald eagles in a tree and above us! Am linking a video here as well.

I’m hesitant to even write this review because we loved having it nearly all to ourselves! The sites are HUGE, back into the beautiful lake, are nearly all level, and are surrounded by plenty of grass for the pups. They even provide a picnic table and fire ring. Bathrooms are well maintained and include two showers and 3 or 4 stalls. Only 20 minutes off I-10 and ANY size rig can expect to fit. Our site was nearly 60’. “Alligators are present” but we didn’t see any. Lots of bugs, but no noise! No gated entry, either, so you can come in as late as you’d like.
