Fabulous state park! Highly recommend. The campground is almost done and will be better than ever! Better electric service, better water and some sites now have sewer!

This is one of the nicest state park campgrounds we've ever stayed at. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Site #42. 50/30/20, pedestal tall enough for Watchdog to clear the ground. Water. No sewer. Site was level enough that there was no issue just using the levelers on our Class A gas motorhome to level. There are only five sites in our loop. and this is the nicest loop, though the sites on the other loops are nice too. The spacing between the sites on this loop is ample, as are the other loops. While you can see the sites on either side, in this loop in particular, they are far enough away that the site feels quite private. Each of the sites in this loop have nice mature trees for shade. Sites are well compacted gravel, and are long enough for the coach and the car with no issues. Wide gravel patio with a picnic table and a fire ring with a cooking grate. 1 bar Verizon, 1 bar T-Mobile. Good enough AT&T for data. The park is big rig friendly. There is another section with tent sites, and a section with equestrian sites. There are a number of playgrounds, plenty of hiking, and a nice boat ramp, all in the park. The bathhouse was clean, and the showers had good pressure and ample hot water. There were two clothes washers and two dryers at the end of the bathhouse, all very reasonably priced.

Not my first time staying here. Always a good experience but this time we arrived at check in 2pm. Had the mower guys cutting from 2 pm till dark. Blowing dry died grass all over our site and tent. Didn’t appreciate the noise all day when trying to enjoy the camping life.

This place is gorgeous! It's about an hour drive from our home in South Lexington. We had a campout there with a troop of one of my Children's. The primitive camping area is clean and very well maintained. Nice s'more area around the campfire! We did not encounter any Critters but we keep a really clean camp area. Shower houses were not spotless but very nice and well maintained in terms of mechanics. Laundry room was clean and well maintained. Fishing off of the boat dock was really nice and convenient.
