It's gorgeous! The park pavilion was really nice and the camping area's are especially nice. There's a nice stream that runs through there and we are going to take our precious 4 legged girls there for hikes.

To the Swiss Valley Park Organizers, I am writing to express my disappointment with the current state of the playground's Voice carrier stations. They are no longer functioning, which has been a great source of sadness for my children. As a member of the community who contributes tax dollars to the park, I find it disheartening that a key feature of the playground is not maintained. I hope this issue can be resolved promptly. Sincerely, Me

The park is great and our visit was fun. Even for the 4th of July it was quiet. Seen a variety of rigs from home built, 5vr’s to tents.

Just discovered this beautiful county park the other day when our family was looking for an in between place to meet up. My husband and I live 2 1/2 hours northeast and our daughter, SIL, and grandsons live 2 hours west of Swiss Valley Park. My dad’s side of the family are all in Switzerland. We have been there a few times to visit and love it so much! What a great name for a park with rolling hills, a lovely creek meandering through, large trees, a chorus of songbirds, and cows grazing on the hillside. If the cows had bells, I would have thought I was in Switzerland. We couldn’t stay long but definitely will come back to camp sometime soon.

Lovely little Campground. Some pros: Water and electrical hook up with a dump station. Fun playground. Love that the little creek runs over the road so it splashes up when you drive through it! It's a bit of a walk along a road to the nature center which chooses at 3:30 pm on weekdays☹️ We got there 3 minutes before they closed so turned around and walked back (a bit over a mile) without getting to see it. I've been told it's a really nice sized center with a live bee hive viewing window in the center! A few cons: Bathrooms are OK, a bit dirty. There is no easily identifiable signage stating what to do when you get there for a site. The "kiosk " is over by the shower/ bath room with the envelopes to pay.

Stayed 2 nights at campground, nice facility with plenty of camping spots with electric and water hook up,tent camping area, restrooms can't say much about the showers because there's no hot water. Plenty area for kids to play and a stream for trout fishing.

It's a simple and decent disc golf course. I could give it 3 stars because there aren't tee pads and the pins aren't top notch. But it's hard to lose a disc (high on my list) and it's a pretty course. Variation in length of holes but not much variation in elevation. I enjoyed it enough to play the 9 holes twice. For being in the middle of nowhere, it's a good course.
