About

Fenske Lake Campground has 15 campsites and one group site with one fully accessible site. Reservations are encouraged as the campground is popular. Most sites will not accommodate large recreational vehicles and five sites are tent only. The group campsite is situated away from the main campground. Perched high on a rock ledge overlooking Fenske Lake, the site offers a spectacular view and has a stunning large rock fireplace. The paths down to the lake are narrow and rugged. The site is designed for groups of 10 to 25. An historic log pavilion is on site which provides opportunities for group gatherings. A paved 750-foot-long path winds down to the pier from the parking lot. It has grades up to 5.5%. Fish habitat structures were installed beyond the pier to attract fish to the area.
