Nice State Park, quiet at night. It was very picturesque by the lakes. We were there for the eclipse, friendly people.

Camped here for the 2024 eclipse. Fabulous location with 4 minutes of totality. Nice campground on a pretty lake. Several sites on the lake. Big woods setting. Sites all have electric with some 50 amp. Good gravel sites. We reserved a site as early as possible just to get in. At the time of our stay it was $20 a night. Bathroom and shower facilities could use some updating. New dump station, Yea!! Several sites have been upgraded to full hookups and paved pads. Nice. Limited hiking trails through the woods. Wildflowers were in bloom. Trail markings were sketchy. Take a map. Trail conditions needed work in places. One downside... The loop that we were in seemed to be the ONLY turnaround at the end of the park road. Since there is no entrance fee, any vehicle that gets this far into the park "just to see the campground" ends up driving though twice coming and going. Grrrrrrr.... Other than that, nice stop on our way to Florida.

We always like to stay at Red Hill State Park when we want to camp closer to home. The camp spots are mostly spacious with our 34ft trailer, 2 slide outs and canapy. Some spots are tight with trees too close for my comfort, so I know which ones we will fit in and have those written down in my notes. The campground is nice and the people are respectful towards each other. Very kid friendly and the water is beautiful. Just wish they had a beach area..

We booked a camp site ahead of time and there was an issue with a double booking when we arrived. The camp host and local IDNR officer immediately got me another site that was better than the one I had booked and offered me a refund but I declined. They were friendly and helpful. The showers and bathrooms were nice and clean for a state park. I recommend this park for families or people just looking for a getaway.
