STAY BY THE WATER
Wake up closer to the lake.
Four miles northwest of Vandalia, the lake gives a weekend room to breathe—camping near the marina, boat access and beach, with fishing, picnicking and time on the water close at hand.
Vandalia Lake Campground
Stay near the water and build the rest of the day around the lake. Check the City’s current information before traveling for camping, swimming and seasonal operating details.
Plan a lake stay ↗SLOW IT DOWN
Camp where it gets quieter.
Ramsey Lake State Recreation Area trades the in-town rhythm for rolling hills, timbered shoreline and secluded picnic areas. Camp here when the trip is about wooded trails, fishing, boating and a little more space between plans.
