We stayed in a cabin, which was cozy and had a superb view. But the path to get to it from the road was brutal- sooo many steps, so steep. It was really rough. The park is beautiful and they were very accommodating.

I was tent camping in the primitive sites so the rooms and service doesn't quite line up with my stay obviously. The park is gorgeous they have many amenities and the camp ground ranger Ericka was super kind and helpful answered all my questions and helped me when I purchased firewood. They take great care of this park and the camp grounds! Definitely worth a visit.

I stayed in the lodge and was blown away from the moment I stepped into the room. Everyone was nice, the park is gorgeous and we (my dog and I) had a great time exploring the surrounding area. One of the best state parks I’ve ever been to and unquestionably the most beautiful at which I’ve ever stayed. I cannot wait to stay at a cabin next time!

The park is well kept and clean and the camp sites have plenty of trees to help stay cool. One thing about the camp sites though. Sites 1-10 (we stayed in 5) are in a decent slope so make sure to bring your leveling pads if you have a camper. The bathrooms could use a little work also.

Camping here was amazing! While dated the place is super clean. I love the nostalgic feel. It almost feels like it is stuck in time, right out of the 90s. If you are camping I recommend having extra leveling blocks. Some sites are pretty hard to get level. The beach is gorgeous. I recommend trying to get to the beach during the week. The weekend is packed. It is a free beach so there are some pretty interesting people there when it is crowded.

We stayed in the cabin at the resort and it's really nice. It's 2 bedrooms with queen beds, the kitchen has a tiny stove/oven with almost all the appliances you'll need when in a cabin, and has decent internet per room. The staff are friendly it's clean, and it's got wonderful views. The only issue I have with the place is the toilet is one of those eco tank ones that doesn't flush in 1 flush. Otherwise a perfect experience.

Arcades don’t work. The cabin I was given has a window unit and it’s hot in cabin but they knew the A/C is out but didn’t say anything. Stayed here many of times but this one was bad. Hopefully dinner tonight will be better!

The front desk clerk was absolutely lovely! So full of information. I wish the rest of the place was as nice as she was. Paint peeling off of doors... A must smell throughout. The furniture in the sitting area looked like it came from an old folks home. The whole place screams 1960's . We decided to stay elsewhere.

We stayed at the campground. The employees were friendly and helpful. The campground is relatively small, and despite being next to a road, quiet. However, with the exception of the horse sites, none of the regular sites are level, north/south or east/west. We used all of our leveling blocks and still didn't get quite level. Some sites must be used by locals because there were trailers that were leveled by using multiple concrete blocks. We camped after a weekend and the bathrooms were not cleaned, nor were the trash cans emptied. The dumpster was however. We ate on a Sunday night at the lodge, having catfish sandwiches and fries. All were cooked well. Our waitress was efficient and polite, but I don't think she wanted to be there that night. Overall, the park is a nice place to visit.

I LOVE this state park, I have been coming here my whole life while visiting our extended family down the road. I love the food at the lodge and the cabins and rooms are just right. We didn't have enough time to walk any trails our last visit, but the trails are very nice too.
