1st time here. It's a very nice park and camping site.

Great place to stay, have been here multiple seasons. We stayed in T29 and there isn’t that much shade and is extremely close to #30 and right near a portapotty and a cabin you can rent for day use. Our group had to rent the area that was under shade near the swingset and across the bridge where there is a large field. There was a church group while we stayed that played loud music all night if you don’t mind that either. Been here multiple times and it’s still a nice place to stay. Definitely don’t go in winter or fall. Way better in summer.

Wonderful campground with full hookups, generous sites, and lots of opportunity for walking around. Very pretty there!

This park is a nice place to camp and picnic! It has 3 different playgrounds, one with a basketball court, and one with a volleyball court! It has 2 different baseball fields and a soccer field. I do need to say that the majority of the fields, and a good portion of the park need some TLC! Fields are overgrown, and one of the bathrooms still says closed for the winter…it’s the middle of June! Still not a bad place to go, and the camping is comparative to prices in Columbia County Parks! Will I be back…..YES DEFINITELY!

The hosts were nice and very welcoming. Our spot was great with a full hookup #10. The only thing I didn't like was the dirty restrooms and they didn't have toilet paper in them. Besides that was a great stay.
