Black Nugget Lake Park is a great little campground where you can get away from it all and relax in one of our well-treed sites or meet with friends and camp in one of the group sites.

Developed out of a former coal mine, the campground features a long winding lake with waterfront sites at various locations and back-to-nature tenting sites. The campground has a boat launch, picnic shelters/cookhouses, and a sewer dump station for your convenience.

While at Black Nugget Lake Park, you can enjoy bird watching, boating (non-powered), canoeing, kayaking, hiking, trout fishing. A playground with sand and a large playing field, are also available for your enjoyment. Next door is the new 18 hole Coal Creek Golf Resort, so don’t forget to pack your clubs.

The concession is located at the entrance to the Campground where you will find flush toilets, showers, firewood and concession items for sale.
