Jackson Lake Off Season Camping

Jackson Lake State Park is one of the best
parks to visit off season year round. You can find sites by the water and wildlife abounds. Jackson Lake is one of the major fly overs for ducks, Snow Geese, Canadian Geese and Pelicans. Off season water fowl hunting, and archery deer hunting is allowed. We have seen deer, coyotes,and pheasants. Water, electricity and newer vault toilets are available. Sometimes the bath house is open. Lots of stars to view and blue skies await the camper. You will be surprised how many campers use this campground in the winter. We have celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, St, Patrick's Day all at this campground. Watch for quick moving storms as we once got snowed in . Can be windy in the winter so look for protected sites. Ice fishing is also a popular sport with many campers. We have done goose hunting, archery deer hunting there as well. There is a special goose hunting blind area and often they will build blinds around the well known duck areas. We love the peace and quiet in the off season there. We also use this park in the summer season but reservations are necessary and the park does fill up.
