Pony Express Lake Conservation Area offers primitive camping and fishing access across multiple lakeside sites in DeKalb County, with designated camping areas on both east and west sides featuring picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets.

The east side has a large parking lot with direct lake access and a boat ramp, while the west side offers more shaded sites with less crowding; both areas are free and operate on a first-come, first-served basis with gravel road access suitable for most vehicles and RVs up to 22 feet.
