Great experience with the lady checking us in, our first time using our RV camping, and so very helpful. Will be coming back to this park again. Beautiful area, nice camp area. Pretty lake view.

Pulaski County Park a very nice place to relax and spend some time in the outdoors. There are plenty of trails for hiking and mountain biking. Definitely would recommend you to bring your kids and/or pets along too! I used the AllTrails app to navigate which trail I wished to do but there are also posted trail signs. There is a small general store in the middle of the park where you can buy snacks and water in case you run out while there.
