This place is a gem! All the amenities you could need with relatively private campsites. Clean bathroom and showers. So many beautiful walking trails, and kayaking on the lake was so peaceful. Appears there are kayak and canoe rentals as well! I also loved how many garbage cans and recycling containers were provided throughout the campground!

Campground is ok. Sites are private like a state park. Clean pit toilets. Bath house is nice, except you need quarters to take a shower!!!! Dump station is right as you exit. Hiking, and kayaking are the main attractions. We even saw a gentleman panning for gold!

Had a lot of fun at the campground and surrounding park areas. Lots of trails to hike and our site was right by the entrance to blue trail. The underlook area is beautiful, as are the well-maintained trails and the main park area near the lake. There was a lot of algae or we would have kayaked. Overall we had a great weekend here
Jenny Ames
Nice hidden gem of a park. Great, well-maintained trails. Nice campsites. Seems to be a local fishing spot. It was not crowded at all. A quiet place, tucked away in hilly, beautiful, farm country.
