Hay Lake Basecamp Tent and Hammocks
Great little find!
The site was super nice and Leah was so responsive to my messages! She had everything we needed ready when we arrived! It was perfect for a little weekend getaway! She It was camping but it’s set up so cute with hammocks and chairs up a little hill and the tent down below and a couple more chairs so you can sit on the dock! We didn’t get to take the canoe out because we had our dogs with but were hoping to go back and get to do that! The lake was sooooo quiet and just people using canoes and Kayaks! The sky was so clear while we were there so it was wonderful! I made a mistake when I left and didnt take the garbage with me like I was suppose to:((. We are used to staying at campgrounds where they pick it up when you check out and I didnt think twice until I got her check out instructions and didnt read them until AFTER I left:( I felt awful but she was so kind! I would highly recommend! The only thing I was surprised about was the trail cam we saw the dat after we got there…. It was totally fine that it was there! We laughed about how many things must be seen, but it was just a little surprise we weren’t aware of:). Glad I wasn’t a honeymooner lol!

Cute Site
Very cute campsite, the kayaks were a big hit. The outhouse was nice to have. If you have dogs be prepared to get very muddy!

Hay lake camping
Second time staying here. Stayed back in June and returned the following August. Perfect spot as always. Noticed that they added a wheel-barrel to transport items to and from the parking area, an extra storage shed to store outside items, and that the dirt road is now paved. Loving the improvements 💚

Beautiful and Peaceful
What a beautiful and peaceful lake! Our 2 boys loved catching sunnies and bass off the doc and chasing frogs around the shore. My husband and I spent our days hanging on the doc in the sun, listening to music and watching our kids enjoy the hot summer days! Fantastic sunsets around the fire and nice shaded mornings greeted by singing birds! There was a beautiful swan family across the lake and we loved watching the sweet little fireflies cash each other around the cat tails. Canoe and kayaks for use, lots of life jackets available and plenty of dry fire wood, which we greatly appreciated! Our hosts were very friendly and available if we needed anything. We recommend this little gem!

Shoreline campsite on quiet lake
Spent two nights at the end of June over a weekend. The site was just as described. It’s private and the small lake experience is tranquil. There only appear to be a couple docks on the lake and taking in a sunset, alone, from the middle of the lake in the provided canoe was an awesome experience.
If you don’t venture onto the water the campsite faces west so the sunset from there is also wonderful.
Even though you’re next to the boat launch, the only traffic seems to be in the morning when the weekend fishermen show up, launch, fish, and then leave a few hours later. The rest of the time it’s very quiet.
The site is surrounded by standing water and pretty dense vegetation which means lots of bugs but the owner provided several refillable Citronella candles which seemed to make a difference. A smoky fire also seemed to help when the breeze was coming off the lake but when it shifts and starts blowing the bugs from the woods to the campsite you need to be ready for it.
There was an ample supply of firewood and a great fire pit with a couple folding chairs. I’d recommend bringing a bright flashlight to watch the frogs in the reeds at night.
There is plenty of room for dogs to hang out without bothering the neighbors but there is a pretty mucky shoreline so if your dog is prone to wading or chasing frogs be sure to bring some extra towels.
