We came for the 2024 fireworks show. We took folding chairs down towards the waters edge. As expected, the grass is well kept, and there is no litter in sight. Copan Lake is a must visit destination regardless of the season.

Beautiful place to camp. We were right by the water. They have water hookups at the site and a dump station.

This is a small but one of the most well kept parks we have stayed in. The hosts take pride in the upkeep of this park.

This is a great park right on the lake. The sites are very large. I was in #4 and am a motorcycle tent camper. There was nice shade and good grass which is a huge plus. The camp host was available and very active. The showers are large but have fixed water temp which was a little hotter than i like but at least its not cold lol. I look forward to staying here again the next time i am in the area.
