Lake Jericho Recreational Camping Area

This has to be the worst campground I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I was planning to spend four nights there and only stayed one. Other than the lake being very nice there is nothing nice to say about this place. If I could give it zero stars I would. The facilities are disgusting. There’s trash everywhere. A lot of people living here full-time and very rundown. Stay away if you can. I was totally shocked when I pulled in because I saw some excellent reviews here. Don’t say you haven’t been warned

difficult to find a site (no site number assigned). when we were finalizing getting our RV set up on an open site, we were notified that it was already spoken for, even though all sites are first-come, first- served. no fire ring at our site, and the picnic table was dry rotted. it looks like nobody ever takes care of anything. domestic violence occurred late at night with a lot of screaming, threats with guns, and apparent drug use; cops and ambulance responded.

the lake is nice though.

After a long day of driving we needed a place to spend some time outside the truck. When we pulled into Jericho, I did not think this would be it. They rent by the month and there are lots of what appear to be permanent trailers. They have sheds and porches. But they are 3 camp spots right off the lake that are beautiful. It was just what we needed, a lovely lake, wildlife and the most incredible sunset. The showers need a remodel but were clean, good water pressure and warm.

This park has a lot of permanent residents but for good reason. Great prices, some spots have full hookups and has absolutely beautiful views of Lake Jericho. It's first come first serve, cash only. There is a small (old and rusty) playground for kids, and their bathrooms could use major attention, but if you're self contained in your rig you don't have to worry about the other amenities. We went kayaking one day on the lake, took a bike ride around the Park, and simply enjoyed the wonderful sunsets from the lake. Spots are a bit uneven with rocks/gravel, and dump station on site if you don't have it at your campsite.

The park seems always beautiful and well maintained. The staff is quick with a smile and a generous spirit. The no-wake-lake is large enough for privacy while boating. The camp ground area for primitive camping is plentiful and in beautiful locations. The pop-up, RV camping area is 75% full with year around campers. Their camp sites are in various states of use. Some appear to have been vacant for a long time, and show it.
They do not take reservations so it is 1st come, 1st served. There are several small, pop-up camper sized sites near the lake that are very nice but with no shade.
