Name: Lava Point Access Campground

Lava Point Access is a fisherman's paradise, or at least it is if that fisherman wants to fish for bass and other warm water fish. The Point is surrounded by water with great access. One can fish from the bank, float tube, raft, or boat. Magic Reservoir has many miles of shoreline offering great bass habitat. However, bring the RV with air-conditioning for your nonfishing party members because it is hot and dry sitting there in the sun.

Boating: We didn't see anyone water skiing, but there are many fishing boats.

Swimming: It is hot and dry here during the summer with very few trees. I would swim in any water available!
