The layout emphasizes privacy, with many sites tucked deep among the trees to ensure a quiet, secluded camping experience for every visitor.

What a beautiful park. I've been to many state parks and this one was so nice and quiet. Rented a shelter for an event and it went great. Bathrooms were the cleanest I have seen at any park. A bit more signage as to where to find the bathrooms would be nice but we did find them

Beautiful, huge park with camping too! There are hardly any people here and we are loving it!

Really nice park with great hiking trails I just wish the trails were marked better. You can become easily lost on them. Also this park is very hilly. Get ready for an uphill walk.

Nice quiet time camping with the wife and dog. Had some Indian or Bengali tent camping. They played cricket.

Maybe the coolest County park I have ever been too. So much to do - so much fun. Spent a lot of time here as a kid growing up - fantastic memories of this place. Hot days in the summer included a creek hike - and there are plenty of pools to sit in and cool off. The parks topology has in interesting chasm/ravine that rips through the center of the park and should be seen from several of the main trails. The place has a mountainous feel and has some of the best hiking around. Winters can feel like Alaska with extreme cold and snow that produces dead silence.
