Amazing and special medium size park. It is well maintained and beautiful. A nice trail and boardwalk. There's also a lot of pavilions, a a dog park, and disc golf course. Would recommend to go solo, friends, couple, or a family. Everyone can enjoy. Fun all year round

This is a great little park to camp at. Quiet, very nice roads into it. Our site was a little short for our 36' 5th wheel, which made it difficult to level it. It was wooded and shady. No parking on the grass, so our truck had to be diagonal in the driveway. For most of the campsites, water is past them on the one way road, so you have to fill up then go out of the park and come around again. The dump site is nearby, so for some of the sites you have to leave and come back to dump. Camp host was great, the mosquitoes not so much. But as he told us, they are included in the price, which was very reasonable to begin with. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. The restrooms are ok. The men's room has a single urinal and single toilet, with two showers. The park has sand volleyball courts, a 27 hole disk golf course, walking and horse trails, and other amenities. A dog permit is included in the camping fee should you need one.

Nice isolated trails. Not many people walk these trails. The one we went was mostly unshaded and about half a mile. Trail was flat on wooded boards. It probably wasn't the best for our dogs as they didn't have access to the grass and trees while on the trail

I have been going to this disc golf course since 2002 with friends. I love it here! It is one of my favorite disc golf courses besides Hiestand Park. They have 27 holes to play on. Very spacious and clean. Make sure to bring mosquito spray during the summer months.
