Odell Lake Resort Campground

I'll spare everyone the sob story and just suffice to say that it's not advisable to try staying at this campground if your RV is longer than about 30'. There is one way in to the camp sites on a narrow, windy road that has a turn around at the end that is too tight for large RVs. So even when they accept your reservation for a 40' 5th Wheel do not attempt. Also the wind picks up at around 11:00am daily, which makes the water very choppy and perhaps unsafe for kayaks. It makes the camp sites quite windy too. The spots are pretty though and 24 is as private as you can expect in a public campground. It's convenient and fun to have a restaurant nearby to treat yourself if you want to. We didn't end up staying here because we couldn't fit on the road so I'm not sure about the other amenities. Every other campground was booked for miles so there may not be a Plan B if you don't fit and no Verizon cell service to call other options.

Technically we stayed at Odell Lake Resort campground. Odell Creek runs through the resort area from the lake.

Very pretty, but the sites are small and squeezed in along the lakeshore. The wind kicks up in the afternoon. A lot. Apparently other folks were "in the know" about this and had windblocks in place.

Vault toilets. Not the cleanest. Only ONE water spigot for the entire campground. No hook ups. No showers available and no dump station. There is a resort, restaurant and marina. Sailboats be ware of shallows and narrow mooring spaces. Also a rickety playground by the resort.

Horseback riding available. No speed limit on the lake. Good for water skiers, bad for kayakers and canoers.

A trail loops a good distance around the lake and makes for a pretty hike.

We had fun but agreed we probably would not choose this campground again. Perhaps the other end of the lake with more wind shelter.
