When we went it was nice and quiet up there. The beach is clean. It’s sunny on the beach for most of the day. The water is pretty clear. There are lifeguards. They have trash cans and recycle bins. Grills to cook out. The only thing I did not like was the beautiful grassy area had so much dog poop EVERYWHERE!!! The kids can’t play there without stepping in it. Why does nobody clean up their dogs messes. DISGUSTING. Other than that I’ll definitely go back and spend a whole day.

Camped mid-June 2024, friendly staff and well kept facilities. Water temperature in the mid to upper 70's was very refreshing. Spotted Loon, beaver, GB herons, Bald Eagle. Brilliant fireflies! Enjoyed paddling an inflatable kayak, fishing and exploring the trails. Lots of blue gill, some yellow perch and a few smallmouth bass. Although busy with day use and campers, it never felt crowded. A few dogs, no problem. Neighboring camper had a generator that was silenced at around 10pm, much appreciated, although I would prefer camping areas set aside with no generators. Road noise from 202 can be loud at times. Great family camping area. Thanks to park staff for a very enjoyable experience!

Great for hiking, fishing, camping and swimming! We love it here. Bathrooms are generally clean and well maintained. **Parking though - the kiosk in the parking lot is not operational. There's a sign with an Apple QR code (not helpful for those of us on Android) to download an app to pay to park. Only problem is.... There's no cellphone service in the park. We drove 5 mins down the road into town to download the app to pay for parking. We get the app and drive back. Only to find out the parking is free until May 28th. A sign would have been MOST helpful. Save yourself the headache and download the Yodel app in advance of visiting the park.

Great place to visit and swim. Rude office staff recently at the Recreation area phones though. Don’t know what’s happening over there but on 2 separate events this summer this has occurred. Since they swimming area has been closed 2 out of the 4 previous visits this year; I simply wanted to find out ahead of time if swimming was open before packing up 3 kids under 10 yrs old for this particular excursion. Both times (previous call and today’s call) the staff was verbally short and had attitudes like they were being bothered for even being asked. I understand the reasons for being closed but the attitudes are unwarranted, just because you aren’t talking to someone in person doesn’t mean you should care less about the conversation.
