(sorted by distance from the lake)

Camping at the lake     Wilson Lake has camping facilities available (there is a fee). Most campers have chosen Sylvan Park, below the dam. The MWSC guitar ensemble will keep you up till all hours of the night. There is another camping area at Lucas Park, 1/2 mile SW of the main hill, but not nearly as much fun. Both of these areas have shower facilities and RV hookups. Reservations can be made through the National Recreation Service <here>.
