About Kump Lake
This recreation site is popular with camping, fishing and hunting enthusiasts. There are 2 distinct small camping areas;the northern end of the lake is a bit more shady and tighter while the western side of the lake is more sunny and open.
Most of the sites are not suitable for very large motorhomes or fifth wheels. The best boat launch is located on the south end campsite but it is a little tight and is suitable for smaller vehicles with small boat trailers. No camping on the shoreline is permitted.
