Great state park, relatively quite, but overall, the staff were absolutely fantastic. I was a late walk in due to other plans falling through and needed to recharge and refill my essentials. When I showed up they were more than willing to help me get a site. One thing I noticed is that they are absolutely on point when it comes to turning over campsites and keeping the facilities clean. Not even 5 minutes after someone checks out there is a staff member blowing leaves off the pads and raking the pads to keep it nice. They definitely run a tight ship here!

Very nice park for everyone. Nice beaches, facilities, playgrounds and picnic areas. I see park police patrol the park so it means it’s a safe place to stay and enjoy the nature. The lake shore path is great for walking. Love the place.

We went camping here two weeks ago for a 2-night stay in a tent, and overall, it was a really nice experience. The views were beautiful, and the campsites were well laid out—spacious, clean, and separated enough to give each group some privacy, which we really appreciated. The restroom facilities were also surprisingly good. They were cleaned regularly and well-stocked, which made things a lot more comfortable during the stay. That said, we did run into a couple of issues. The weather was not on our side—there was a bit of rain, but the real challenge was the wind. It was pretty aggressive, around 25 mph, which made it hard to fully enjoy the lake or sit by the fire for long. On top of that, there were a ton of small caterpillars falling from the trees. They ended up on our clothes, the tent, the chairs—everywhere, really. It got a bit frustrating after a while. There was also quite a bit of pollen in the air, which didn’t help. I imagine some of this was just a matter of timing, and not something that happens year-round. Despite those hiccups, we’d still consider coming back—maybe in a different season when the weather and bugs are a little more forgiving.
