An often overlooked camping area, Thomas Lake Park is well out of the way for most locals, and is small in size. With only a handful of campsites, the sites here are large enough for full sized rigs, but the road running circling through the park is narrow, twisted, and full of pot holes.
Thomas Lake Park is ideal, however, for campers with kayaks or canoes, due to the narrow channels at Thomas Lake.
Otherwise, Thomas Lake Park is free and offers plenty of peace and quiet.
