The campground was beautiful but for $75/night the cabins were horrendous. We stayed in the Dogwood cabin. It was so dusty and smelled so musty & moldy. The walls/floor/windows around the bunk beds were so dusty and cobwebbed my kids couldn’t even sleep there. My sons eyes swelled up over the course of the evening from all of the dust & mold. Luckily the front area had a fold down futon but in the process of folding it down we found toys from the previous campers and an actual mouse hole with acorns scattered under the futon. This lead us to scanning the whole cabin with our high powered flashlight and found bottles of water, a pacifier, a HUGE spider, and mouse turds under the bunk beds & queen bed. There was a note on the door when we arrived that said the cabin was just “cleaned”for our arrival. I don’t think the cabin has really been cleaned since it was built.

Very frustrating experience with what is a usually positive event. Attempted to go to their annual maple syrup festival but rangers started turning away vehicles less than an hour after opening due to “lack of parking.” However, the rangers still prevented cars from going in even as multiple vehicles were exiting. Additionally, our friends who had made it in said there were empty parking spaces. When we asked the park rangers about this, they replied “It’s the park’s decision” and told us to keep moving. We respected this but were incredibly frustrated with the subpar logistics and lack of acknowledgment that exiting vehicles inherently meant that parking was available.

Weekend camping trip with family. Our first time here. Campground is spacious and well kept. Area is beautiful. You can walk from camp sites to trails that lead to other trails. We are definitely coming back here again.

Beautiful park, lake and waterfall right off the main road. We were traveling and happened to see the signs. We took the 1/2 mile hike to the falls and explored the grounds a bit. It was about an hour pit stop and if we had our swimming suits it would have been longer to take a dip in the nice big lake. Perfect picnic spot

We visit the mini cabins in this park every year. October is a fun time because it's not hot and buggy. The cabins have a double bed and a set of bunk beds, electricity, a front porch, fire ring and picnic table. It's a short walk to the restrooms where there are modern facilities and hot showers. The staff is always welcoming. The cost is reasonable so a family can come here without too much expense. The Falls is nearby as are hiking trails and a lake area.
