Due to low lake level, half of the marina boat launch and the complete campground boat launch is closed to trailered boats. Visitors may use the open half of the marina ramp at your own risk. Kayaks, paddle boards or canoes may launch behind the barricades.
Construction at Patagonia Lake State Park will be underway through summer 2025. We apologize for the inconvenience and construction-related noise. Thank you for your patience as we work to make Patagonia Lake State Park an even better destination for campers!

Park gates will be open from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. All camping guests with reservations who will arrive after 10 p.m. must call the park before 4:30 p.m. to make arrangements.
Patagonia Lake State Park is subject to temporary mid-day closures due to park visitor capacity. Please plan accordingly and arrive early or call ahead.
