"...Campground is located along the shore of Parker Canyon Lake. Most walk-in tent sites have a view of the lake. There are two loops. One favors tents (with several wheelchair friendly sites) and the other RVs. Campground is known for bird watching to include Bald Eagles during the winter months. There is a general store near the boat ramp. There are limited groceries, boat rentals and fishing licenses...

...The parking aprons are paved...

...Parker Canyon Lake is 160 acres. There is an 8hp motor limit on the lake... "

Below is a description of the campground from the USDA Forest Service web site. Occassionally this web site is not accessible.

"Located on a hill overlooking Parker Canyon Lake, campsites are spread among a stand of oaks and junipers. From the campground it is just a short walk to the lakeshore or a short drive to the boat launch ramp, fishing pier, paved parking areas and paved walkways, all of which are accessible to persons with disabilities. A concessionaire-operated general store and boat rental combine with the facilities listed above to make this area a pleasant, friendly place to visit.

Parker Canyon Lake and Lakeview Campground are generally less crowded than similar areas that are more easily accessible. On some days you can hike the entire 5-mile trail around the lake and have only the resident wildlife for company. This trail has several viewing areas complete with benches and interpretive signs. Two of the viewing areas are barrier-free. It is an excellent place to view the waterfowl that either live at the lake or use it as a stopover on their seasonal migration. Bald eagles and osprey are also frequently sighted here, as are Coues white-tailed deer and an occasional extended family of coatimundi, those long-tailed, long-nosed southwestern cousins of the raccoon."
