Nice state park. Great walking and biking trails. Limited parking especially on beautiful days.
Wonderful state park. Nice hiking trails through the pines. Camp sites and cabin rentals. They even have a beach and concession area in the summer.

Fishing ramp, beach with swimming in summer(included in rental of camp sites/cabins) $2 per day (over 2 yrs old) per person or $50 for season beach pass with playgrounds, snack bar, canoe, & BBQ grills. Handicap accessible & group cabin available
Loved the campground. Nice big shaded sites. Picturesque lake. It wasn't warm enough for us to swim when we are there, but we are definitely planning a return trip
I found this camp ground about 3 years ago. Love the trails, lake, the staff are all friendly. I think i found my new tradition. They only thing i wish would change is check in time earlier and no restrictions on days to rent cabins. Sometimes i only have time for two days or one but would still love to spend my time there. :)
We camped in the group campsite area:
We recently went on a camping trip and had a great experience. The only issues we had were the bathrooms could have been cleaner, one of the two stalls in the men's room was not able to be locked, only two of the group sites were labeled on trees to mark which site was which, there is no clear map for where the group sites are and their layout as well as the location of additional parking. We also wish some more spots could be cleared in the group site area to allow more people to fish at once. We went with cub scouts, so we had to take turns fishing at the site. Really nice fire rings. There is a grate that can be flipped out of the way which is great for prepping your embers and then cooking with cast iron. Overall good experience.
Cheap to put the kayaks (any boats) in the water. A quiet, nice area with great scenery. Lost my glasses in the water, life guards were nice and tried to help me to no avail LOL they serve amazing hot dogs and good cheese fries. Prices aren't bad at all! Main bathrooms need to be redone, they're old, dirty and barely any lighting, but poor funding is understandable. I think we should hold a fundraiser to get it back up to standards. Its a beautiful place that just needs some extra TLC!
This lovely Gem of a park deserves 5 stars for the care and love that goes into the maintenance and preservation of this historic State Park. The lack of State funding has been made up by a devoted Park appreciation committee which spends hours assisting the park superintendent and maintenance staff, creating a wonderful natural environment for visitors to enjoy camping swimming and a pristine environment. There is a Facebook page and a website. There are very small charges for camping and RV camping. Donations are appreciated and taken over the appreciation committee's website. There are also miles of walking hiking running and biking trails with plans to increase those in the near future. There are ample shower and rest facilities throughout the park done in a way to preserve the historic nature of this gem.
Great place to visit and camp over night. Rent a cabin ($55 / night) and walk around the lake. Great way to spend a weekend. I would visit again.
Close to home. No admission fee except for the swimming area. Peaceful place to go for a walk or bike ride.
Great park with nice views. There are a variety of trails with different distances. The lake is beautiful and there are nice, wooded campsites. Dogs are allowed, and most of the trails are stroller friendly.
On the week days the trails are just about empty. On the weekends the trails can become crowded but everyone I have encountered has been polite and nice! Such a great place to relax and enjoy some peace!
