North Point Recreation Area — Attraction in White Swan Township

We tent camped here for five days and enjoyed our stay. Here were our pros and cons. The beach area is fantastic for kids and families. It was a crowded and hot weekend but the beach didn't feel too packed. There were also several rocky shorelines to explore and skip rocks. The campground was well maintained with three shower houses and several vault toilets. Our site had plenty of trees and shade. We gave up lakeside to have the trees though. The sites were spaced out enough that we didn't feel like other campers were right on top of us. All and all, it is a well designed park.

Our family spent 4 days here & experienced "the good, bad & ugly" weather wise at this location! The first night's temps at 103, cool water & rolling heat brought in winds clocked at 63mph!

Bathroom facilities were clean & accommodating, the campsites spacious for RV, boat, & vehicles, aluminum picnic tables and fire pit provided, trash bins emptied almost daily. We plan to go back to this site next year! Also, there are 2 dump sites & 2 potable water pumps across from ranger station which helped RVs needing these services move more quickly. Thank you park people for...
