The park grounds are pretty and the facilities are clean. We were not very impressed with the actual campsites, however. They are very narrow and most of the site's fire pits are too close the neighbor's spot, making it impossible to sit around them. At the full hookup sites, the fire pit was next to the neighbor's septic hookup. There were also a TON of flies. I'm not sure if it was just the time of year, or if it was related to the septic system but it was excessive. Lovely park, but I probably won't camp here again.

What I would call a typical lake based state park. It suffers from not having any trees to cut the wind so if you’re camping, the wind coming across the lake is strong. The trail around the lake is fully paved and does not go completely around the lake without walking on the road. Good for bikes but not very for nice hiking

We love this park and come every year. It gets 4 stars though because there is little to no shade. Trees will grow in and in 10 years it will be perfect. Great amenities, clean park, quiet and fun for kids. The beach was a little overgrown with seaweed but it's free admission. Geese have taken over with poo everywhere but not quite sure how you fix that. Kids had fun fishing and we walked the entire paved trail around the lake. Will be back again next year.

This was our third time staying here. It’s absolutely the best camping: gorgeous 360 views, stunning wildlife, tidy and welcoming facilities, and friendly staff.

Gorgeous state park. Loved the tiered parking for campers which allowed everyone to have a great view of the lake. Clean beach, plenty of docks and well kept trails.
