&tldr; For campground, pick sites 22-49; AVOID sites 1-22. We recently booked 2 nights in Site 8, not knowing any better. Unlike most parks, signs here direct you to go straight to your site if you already have a reservation. There’s no gate, nor place to check-in; the “office” is at the far end of the road past both campgrounds. Speaking of which: the road in has signs directing you to Campground A or Campground B; but those names aren’t used in the reservation system. It turns out that Campground A is Sites 1-22, and Campground B is sites 22-49; we found out later that A is the “old” campground and B is the “new”. Campground A is a nightmare. Our first problem was with the dump station, which is on the side of a narrow one-way road; problem being that it’s just a tube sticking out of the ground ON THE PASSENGER’S SIDE of the road. Our rig, like most out there, has the dump port on the DRIVER’S side; not sure WHAT the designers were thinking here. And the dump “station” has no water to available for rinsing/flushing either. After pulling into Site 8, we made the mistake of hooking up our filter+ hose to the spigot there and filling our fresh water tank, without CHECKING the water quality first. It wasn’t until we went to fill our water bottles from the spigot afterwards that we realized the water coming out of it rotated through shades of white, tan, and brown - no matter how long you let the water run to try to “flush” the line first. Thinking it might just be our faucet, we tried the one in Site 7 too - with the same result. Attached photo is of the “cleanest” water we could get from the spigot after running it through our Camcorder water filter. The water coming out of the bathroom faucets seemed cleaner, but the stains on the porcelain implied that there were still contaminants in the water that were just hard to see. The showers were small stalls with shower curtains; no private changing area. Water was hot, with good water pressure though. The 30 Amp outlet at the site was also well abused - and looked to be of questionable safety. The next morning, we went to Campground B to see if things were better there. Much. We found an unoccupied site, and tested the water spigot: nice clean water. 30 Amp outlet was intact. Two shower stalls in the bathhouse: one with a private changing area, and one large enough to change in. The dump station on the way out of Campground B is standard / nice: dump hole on driver’s side, with a threaded spigot (and cutoff hose available) for rinsing/flushing. We went to the office and switched to Site 30, no questions asked (the lady in the office was really nice). Campground B is near the water, and really quite pleasant. The only “ding” is that the washer and dryer in the bathhouse were both tagged”out of order”. (Unfortunately, our Camco water filter was so badly fouled by the water in Campground A - continued to intermittently belch brown colored water, despite repeated flushing - that we had to replace it.)

What a beautiful park!!!! We have been to several state parks and this one is definitely our favorite. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed cabin 2 and didn't want to leave. They have done a beautiful job with the new renovations. The view from the cabin was amazing. Very clean and well stocked with bed and bath linens. It was so peaceful there (except for the resident crow that likes to be the alarm clock every morning without fail). We can't wait to go back!

Beautiful campground. Site 34 had amazing views of the water

The cabins are very nice. Went for a draw hunt and had a great time. Hunting is very hard and lots of rattle snakes. So if you go hiking boots (big hills) that are snake proof are a must.

Great first cabin experience. I definitely would recommend this cabin. I also want to advise the pictures on the website are old. They have the updated photos on Facebook. So for those that are not on Facebook, I will post plenty of pictures here for the updated rooms. Upon arrival at check in that was the first pleasant portion of the trip. Was greeted by Mr. Neal he was so nice. I had his permission to post his photo. He said he has been with the state for almost 30 years and I definitely do understand why. He was so nice, friendly, and professional as he also gave a great recommendation for a restaurant to dine. The choice of food that he gave was also an excellent choice. The food was definitely good and highly recommended. He gave the recommendation for the restaurant called Redtop. He suggested the shrimp tacos and they were delicious. To get to the description of the rooms. I definitely want to advise the bedrooms were very spacious as well as the bathrooms. The kitchen area was magnificent with full size stove, double sink, microwave, and full size refrigerator. They also provide you with dishes and silverware. I also want to advise the screened back porch area was so nice. It was definitely a plus for the bugs that you will experience. You'll also enjoyed the grill and the fire pit. It was really nice at night time to sit out there. You will really enjoy yourself so I do highly recommend this state park for anyone that's trying to get away from your normal day to day life. Or just want to go have some peace, relaxation, and decompression time. Waking up in the morning looking out at the beautiful view of the trees, water, and nature itself. The way the beautiful light comes through the window in the bedroom, it makes you want to just stay in bed. Truly this will be a place that you would definitely want to visit. I have already booked my next trip there through Ms. Kim. She was very nice, pleasant, and very helpful as well. I definitely do thank her for that. These are actual pictures no editing and this was cabin 5A.
