One Comment on “Ramsey Lake State Recreation Area”

  1. Campsites were nice and clean. Big drop to the water so no campsite fishing, you have to go elsewhere on the lake for that. Shower house was clean and very nice. Website indicates there is a camp store, concession stand, visitor center. Not a big deal, but there was no place to buy firewood which we were counting on. None in town either. But town is nearby so if you need anything else, there’s a Dollar General and Caseys not too far.
