Llewellyn Johns Recreation Area

A small, get-away park, Llewellyn Johns' ten first-come, first-served campsites offer spur-of-the-moment camping. Nearby Shadehill Recreation Area offers recreational opportunities as well as points of historical interest to keep you busy all day. Or, if you prefer peace and quiet, this is a great campground to just sit back and relax. Scenic view of Llewellyn Johns Recreation Area, showing the water, trees and picnic shelter.
