There are Eight other parks around the lake that have been developed to provide a wide variety of recreation opportunities to area visitors. The Corps maintains six established campgrounds with services ranging from full electrical hookups and modern shower buildings to random tent campsites and privies. 19 "pull throughs" with a minimum length of 100 feet can accommodate longer trailers at Hunter Cove. Electrical hookups have been increased to 50 amps.

Advance reservations can be made at Methodist Cove and Hunter Cove campgrounds. There are 2 group camping sites at Methodist and the shelter houses at Gremlin Cove or Patterson Harbor (High Point) can also be reserved.

Primitive, tent, and RV camping are available in six different Corps of Engineers managed parks around the lake, as well as Patterson Harbor and Alma City Park. Camp pads with electrical hook-ups located in Methodist Cove and Hunter Cove parks are $14.00 per night, from May 1 to October 1. Non-electrical sites are $10.00 per night in these parks for the same time period. Gate Attendants are stationed at the entrance to Hunter Cove and Methodist Cove parks, and are on duty 6 days a week. These same camp pads may be used during the months of October, November, and April for a charge of $6.00 per night. This off-season charge reflects a reduced service level. The remaining campgrounds, Gremlin Cove, North Outlet, and South Outlet parks, which provide water, vault toilets, and trash dumpsters, are available for $6.00 per night. These fees are collected by roving park rangers and by use of a self-pay vault, with park rangers or volunteer park hosts being the primary source of contact in the parks.

Golden Age Passports and Golden Access cards will be honored in all the parks for camping and day use fees. These can be obtained from any Corps of Engineers office or fee booth by anyone meeting the pertaining criteria.
