Daniel Kitchen
This is a fabulous small park. Especially great for camping with a camper or RV. Many sites are paved and have full hookup. There is a paved path into the lovely little town of West Point. We walked in to town on Saturday and had breakfast at a little bakery there. Lovely quaint little spot. We happened to have really good weather, but it is very nice even if the sky doesn't fully cooperate. There is a small lake with a little beach, and it was clear that they were taking care of the park and facilities. 6 stars!

It has short walking paths, the paved path does not loop but it is a beautiful walk through the flowers and trees. Swimming was a hit, it does cost $2 per person. Decent sized camp ground.

This is a beautiful park! The RV campsites are nicely paved and shaded by large trees. There’s a wide variety of birds to keep birders busy, also swimming, fishing, paddle boat rentals, and a bike trail. Many local residents use the park for walking or jogging.

No complaints about this county park. It has a nice fishing and kayaking lake and a paved bike trail. $20 a night for full hookup. They are in the process of concreting all of the 30 pads. About half of the sites are non reservable. It has a nice beach and swimming area for $1.00.
