Lake Henshaw


On Dec. 31, 2011, we camped here with our friends Cathy & Grant.  We camp together every new years.  We have camped here before but it has been years (pre-motorhome & pre travel trailer years).  We basically had the campground to ourselves which was pleasant.  There are hook-ups here but it is in what I would call a run down mobile home park with 30 year old plus travel trailors deposited in there.  We elected to camp in the dry camping area.  This campground is located accross the highway from the Lake.  It is a fishing lake and used to have some huge catfish in there.  The last time we camped here we rented a row boat and I caught the only fish, a six inch catfish.  We inquired of another fisherman with his legs over the side of his boat if he had any luck.  He answered, no, I come out here to drink beer, if I catch a fish it is a bonus.  We did not notice any anglers here on this trip.  You just find a place to park and that is your site.  We found a spot with 2 tables and a fire pit.  I believe there is a swimming pool here, but we did not notice it this trip.  They have a general store and restaurant on premises and we dined there one night.  Our camping rate was $20 per night + $2 per night for Buddy.  I rate this park P***.
