The RV camp section at Otter Creek Lake and Park has four separate camp areas connected by a loop road system. South Loop camp area is located just south of the North Loop camp area and is situated near the lake. Sixteen electric pedestals will service up to 32 RV units depending on size of the RVs. Each pedestal has 20 amp and 30 amp service. Scattered hydrants are located throughout the South Loop camp area. Campers are allowed to connect to the park's water system to fill their tanks but must disconnect once their tanks are full. Twelve fire rings are available for campers to use. The restroom and shower house are within walking distance of South Loop. A self-serve firewood bin has been installed for the 2024 camping season. Please follow posted directions to pay for firewood. A small dock is located in south loop. Boats can tie to the interior portions of the dock keeping the nose of the dock open for campers that wish to fish off the dock. 

All camp sites are offered on a first come, first served basis. We do not have the ability to reserve camp sites.
