We would like to come and camp July 2 thru 5 of July. We have a 35 ft fifth wheel with three slides and 30 amp. Looking for a full hook up. Spaces that we would like is 76-92 if possible or somewhere near the lake. We have a dog too.
Hi Dennis,
You can click on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button to check availability, pricing and make a reservation at Camp Edison. CampsitePhotos.com does not handle reservations for the campgrounds listed on our site.
Would like to reserve site #179 and #180. Can’t get through the website. Thank you
Hi Renee,
You can click on the ‘Make A Reservation’ button and this will send you to the Reservation page for Camp Edison. From there you can check availability and make a reservation. Here is also a direct link: https://www.camplife.com/campground/Camp%20Edison
And I do see there is availability for a June 7 arrival – June 15 departure.
We have reservations for the 1st week of June. Can you tell if the the camp site tables AKA picnic tables are 6ft or 8ft. I want to buy the correct size table clothes.p
Hi Maria,
The Camp Edison campsite tables are 8 feet in length. Have fun up there!
Hi, How far is the walk to the beach from the camp sites below: 145, 30 and 187. And are any of them on hills (we have disabled family members).
Hi Heather,
From all three sites, if you wanted to walk to the day use / beach area I’d recommend using the camp roads. From campsite #30 it’s about 2,800 feet, from site $145 it’s about 3,700 feet, and from site #187 it’s about 3,500 feet. You can also drive down to the day use/beach area and park your car there. All of the campsites are up on a hill above the lake. Hope this helps!
This will be our first trip to Camp Edison, how far is it to the water from site 84, is there a trail?
Hi Ann,
Campsite #84 is one of our favorites – a large, relatively flat site with good space between neighbors. It is also fairly close to the lake. There is a trail to the beach /water. You can access it near your campsites (about 50 feet down the camp road), and then it’s another 500 feet or so to the beach/water. Have fun!
