We camped at Swan Lake for 2 nights. Our tent campsite was quiet and secluded. We were right next to the lake. Listening to the symphony of croaking frogs during the night was very soothing. The restrooms were clean and the shower worked great! We rented a paddle boat for a very reasonable $5 an hour, hiked the nature trail and my husband did some fishing. All in all, Swan Lake is a great campground with plenty of activities for everyone!

Great place for nature lovers !! The lake really attracts waterfowl during migration seasons. Plenty of deer as well.
Tara Powell
Beautiful park, well kept. Nice concrete trail as well as a nature trail. Bison, bald eagles and swans all on site. Took a couple hours to walk all the way around and it was well worth it.

This is a nice state campground when there is no one there. One thing that I have to have a dislike about is the weird placement of the power poles and the water spigots. Other than that, we had a peaceful time at the park watching the geese and ducks, and at one point, a couple of deer.

Had a nice quiet picnic by the lake. The geese were polite and distant. After lunch we walked up to see the eagles I the rehab building before taking a nice fall walk on the trail around the lake. Perfect.

Visited and will never go back. Bison lookout area has only one bison, which is a herd animal but it was alone. Two bald eagles stuck in an enclosure too small for two of them. After seeing that, I came across a "bird sanctuary" which was basically another shed but smaller that I didn't even go into because I was horrified at what I might find in there based on the previous two. I will not support such treatment of these animals!

What a surprise it was to find such a beautiful park. A great bargain at $20 where comparable places draw $35 and up. We would stop here again, camping or not. Wake up to wild Turkeys and beautiful plains.

Had a great time camping. Caught bullheads every day. Grandson loves to fish so this was wonderful vacation. Have been there many times.
