Pettit Bay I, Elk Creek, and Cookson Bend will leave gates open for Boat Ramp Use Only.  These campgrounds will reopen on March 1st

Carter’s Landing will remain open for camping throughout the winter with electric and water at several sites.  Sizemore is also available for camping but does not provide water or electric.

Seasonal closures are in place for the efficient stewardship of public recreation facilities during times of the lowest visitation, and to reduce the high costs of waterline breaks during freezing weather.
