Great nature trails, fishing spots galore, peaceful, great family area for camping, swimming, or fishing

Camped in primitive campground. Beautiful location but apparently has become the place for the local homeless white trash to hang out after the bars kick them out. One group of 5 or so did a bonfire thing from 11 PM till 2 AM. Another group slept in their car with the engine running very loudly most of the night. Camp is not patrolled at all. I suppose the positive is that it is free apparently but surely trash can go inhabit some place else and not bother campers?

Absolutely the worst camping experience on this lake I’ve had especially for the cost which is outrageous. The bathrooms are absolutely nasty. The campsites are small and 2 campsites have to share the same power outlet that only has 2 plugs. Won’t make this camping area mistake again.

Just great place to camp..... The State Park Managers have decided HWSP does not need "Camp Hosts". The office ladies (2) from the cabin side of the park will have to clean all three Shower/rest rooms at the Spillway camp ground also. I can't wait until they start getting spider bites like I have. If you do camp here after 16 August, BRING YOUR own sanitizer to sanitize the bathrooms. I have been buying a gallon a week as the park doesn't supply it. We did have a possible covid here last week... His family was positive so he came here to seclude himself.

The park is run down. The campsites did not have fire rings to make a fire. The campsites are very close together. There was a small pond behind our campsite full of frogs whole were very loud. But the were not as loud as the people near us having a truck rally all night. The park was not patrolled and the check in station was closed. There were no maps of the park to be had. The showers were okay but the bathrooms were nasty.
