Welcome!Firefly Lake Campground, sites 201-271, is very popular and located in the central portion of the forest. This 27-acre lake offers excellent swimming opportunities with its crystal clear water and fine-sand beach. Canoers and kayakers populate these waters often for great photo moments. A carry-in boat landing is available within the campground, or a landing and parking area is located on the west side of the lake – no boat motors are allowed. This campground is only about one-half mile from the Crystal Lake beach and picnic area. Camping reservations are required and can be made for the same day of your arrival or up to 11 months in advance of your planned date of occupancy.
