Lower Bucks Campground is along the north shore of Lower Bucks Lake, just downstream from the much larger Bucks Lake. Campers who seek out the lower lake find a more secluded camping area on the shore of a pretty little lake.
Fishing and boating are popular, along with swimming, hiking and mountain biking. The Sandy Point day use area and boat ramp at Bucks Lake are a little more than 2 miles away.
Lower Bucks Campground has 7 lakeside sites. The campsites are well separated along the shore. A Boy Scout camp is located nearby. The Scout camp is often rented to other youth and church groups.
