Several sites are located on the bluff overlooking the lake. Large ravines, bridged by pedestrian trails, traverse the park.

Reservations
Reservations are NOT taken for camping at municipal campgrounds. All daily and weekly sites are first come first serve.
Tips for securing a campsite
- Arrive early. Check out is at noon, but many campers are up with the sun. You can snag their site while they're still packing up.
- Early is relative. "Early" looks different if you're driving up after work. Don't stress too much, we have overflow camping with a great view of the Lake. You won't be stranded.
- If you can't get here early, send a friend to pay for a site for you. Maybe they'll make you dinner while they're at it.
- Check both campgrounds. We've got two. They're both on the Lake. They both have positives and negatives. Ultimately, they both give you a place to park.
- Summer is short and sweet. July and August are busy. Arriving Sunday - Wednesday will increase your chances of getting that perfect campsite.
- Early season and late season are quieter, with the exception of the first full weekend in October. We'll come close to filling that weekend.
- The last weekend in July is another busy one. The whole town will be celebrating that weekend.

Access
- Memorial Park is best suited for smaller RV's and tent camping due to the maneuvering required among the pines for accessibility to campsites.
- There is not a listed maximum length. Personal comfort and skill level in maneuvering between large trees may determine accessibility. Thompson's West End Campground is more open and easier to navigate for large vehicles.
- An archway on 6th Avenue East when entering Memorial Park has a 16 foot clearance. Taller RV's can access the park via 3rd Avenue East to Memorial Park Drive or Superior Avenue to Memorial Park Drive.
- Memorial Park does not provide direct boating access to the lake. Boaters desiring lake access should visit Thompson's West End Campground.
