Campers should realize that State Fishing Lakes differ greatly from State Parks where full-service sites are provided and fees are collected. There is no dump station at Kingman State Fishing Lake and trash is a carry in/carry out requirement. Generators are allowed, however, quiet hours are from 11:00p.m. to 6:00a.m. and generators are not to be run during those time constraints. Office hours are generally 8:00 a.m. to 4:30p.m. though the Manager (only full-time staff) is frequently working on the area and not available.
ANS Alert! White perch have been found in the lake. Fishermen need to know that possession of live white perch is prohibited. Dead white perch may be possessed or used as bait on the waters where they were taken.
ANS Alert! Zebra mussels have been found in Cheney, Marion, and El Dorado reservoirs. If you have visited these reservoirs, be sure you have cleaned or dried your boat and other equipment as indicated on signs posted at both boat ramps before launching at Kingman State Fishing Lake.
