While we enjoyed some of the views that come with a good mid-summer weather system, we're glad to be getting closer to normal pool. Our beaches have reached a safe elevation and passed all necessary water quality testing. They will reopen and resume collection of day use fees on Friday, July 24th.

A few campgrounds still have campsites affected by what's left of the high water. If your reservation is impacted by a closure, you will receive an email notification about the closure with steps on how to proceed.

Thank you for your patience as we navigated an unseasonably wet June!

🚧Closure Update 🚧

As we continue to receive and hold flood water, several closures are in place and will continue as we get additional rain.

Camping: Impacted campgrounds include Hawker Point and Ruark Bluff East at this time. If your campsite is affected by a closure you will receive an email from Recreation.gov on how to proceed.

Beaches: All Stockton Lake, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers managed beaches are closed until the lake receeds to a safe elevation. Fee collection at beaches will be paused during this time frame.

Boat Ramps: All boat ramps remain unaffected and usable at this time.

For your safety, please pay attention to posted closure notices at our facilities and do not drive or walk around barricaded areas.

Tonight is a great night to stay weather aware. Make sure you have a weather radio or some other way of getting notified if cell service is spotty. Stow away any loose items outside of campers and roll those awnings in!

A line of strong to severe storms will move through the area late this evening through tonight. Here is a map of estimated storm time of arrival.

🦃Youth Turkey Hunt Recap🦃

We had a great turnout for this year’s youth turkey hunt, with a total of 52 applicants. From that group, six young hunters were selected – one hunter assigned to each campground.

The weekend brought some success in the field:

▪️One jake was harvested Saturday morning at Mutton Creek Group Camp

▪️One tom was harvested Sunday morning at Orleans Trail South

Overall, it sounded like everyone had a fantastic experience. Hunters reported seeing birds and having opportunities, but as turkey hunting often goes, not every chance turned into a harvest.

We appreciate everyone who applied and participated, and we hope the hunt provided a memorable experience for all involved.
