Homestead Knolls is the most developed recreation area on Calamus Reservoir's north shore, featuring two boat launching docks, a fish cleaning station, electric camping with modern facilities, and the Homestead Knolls Sports Center offering bait, tackle, ice, fuel, and groceries.

The area is well-suited for both boaters and anglers, with convenient access to the lake and nearby amenities for day-use and overnight visitors.
