Sandy Lake Campground is a U. S. Army Corps of Engineers facility offering 60 campsites (43 single family, 5 double family, 2 group sites, 8 tent sites, and 1 cabin) with electric hookups, flush toilets, showers, and a dump station.

The campground provides three boat launches—two onto Big Sandy Lake and one onto the Sandy River/Mississippi River—plus docks and a fishing pier, making it an excellent access point for paddlers on the Mississippi River Water Trail and boaters.

Open May through mid-October with day-use access year-round, the facility also features a beach, playgrounds, and a small museum documenting the historic 1895 dam and the area's fur trading heritage.
