Q:
We are considering a November visit to Oak Mountain State Park to MTB and kayak and camp with our GO pop up trailer. . Does anyone know if there are any campsites that have lake water access? If so could you give us site numbers or directions of how to find these types of camp sites via a map? We would like to be able to put in our kayaks in from near our campsite. We have a kayak cart so we can wheel them for a short distance . Any other tips would be appreciated!
