There is a $5 for parking, unless you have a park pass (the America the beautiful one), which we did. You can't have alcohol and have to pick up after yourself. There's a little beach area and then a roped off part of the water that you can swim in. The water is nice and the view is nice and peaceful.

I wouldn't have given it that high a rating but jt was a nice hike. When you first start the trail there is a fork for the loop, either you go down into the forest or go straight along the cliff. Most people we ran into seemingly walked down into the forest first, which meant they walked uphill most of the hike. We went straight along the cliff wall and ended up walking down hill for most of the 5 mile loop. It really was only the last half a mile that was uphill to get back to the start of the trail. I highly advise to go straight to make less work on yourself esp if you're elderly or with young families. I saw a few people turn around because the hike up was becoming too much. We had three children 5 and under who didn't feel tired until we were into the half mile uphill for reference on the different experiences you can have depending on the route you take.

All of the workers were so friendly and helpful here. The hike at the very top was perfect- about a mile or so, the scenic lookout is about halfway through so you can take a break if you need. There's a good amount of elevation to get your heartbeat going but then it calms down after awhile. At the outlook, it would be easy to sit and enjoy the few for a long time. It's stunning. You can also take a fork in the path to visit the Fort that's here (thus named Fort Mountain). There are some info signs explaining the mysterious origins of the fort and it's pretty interesting.

Fort Mountain State Park is one of few favorites places to visit, especially in the spring or in…read morethe fall. The scenery is simply picturesque. Despite the harsh cold winds of winter, we had the sun which made it bearable and our hike was splendid on the day we visited. Our first stop had to be the visitor center to get a new annual pass & patches. The attendants helped us secure the pass that best matched our needs. The visitor center has restrooms and a gift store. For my girlfriend, it's always difficult to resist the items --- t-shirts, stuffed animals, historical books, camping supplies, snacks --- they sell there. If I am not mistaken, I believe they also sell firewood and ice for those looking to camp. If you need a map of the park, it can be found here as well. We then headed to the lake to hike the trail that circles it. It's an easy trail, so it makes for a nice walk for chatting and stopping to admire the views of the lake and mountainside. The beach at the lake is relatively small, but the facilities there are nice, with boat rentals, playground, picnic tables, and putt-putt golf. Im assuming a lot of these services are seasonal because we saw no one using them. I did like that there was a ramp that led from the parking lot to the beach for visitors that may have mobility issues. We hiked several different trails, and all were well blazed. The trails that led to fire tower and the stone wall had informational signs. Unfortunately the fire tower can only be viewed from the outside. I would love to see the view from the top! But if it's views you are interested in, checkout the overlook trail! The view is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! We also did the Big Rock Nature Trail (trailhead is near the lake dam). The 3/4-mile trail led to a beautiful waterfall. We didn't touch the Gahuti Trail this time, but we plan to do it next time we come back; it's challenging but very beautiful from what I have read about the trail. I would recommend it if you have a day for a hiking adventure. Snacks and water are required. The cabins and cottages all look well maintained from the outside and are located in beautiful areas of the park. We didn't check out the campground, but it's near the lake, but Fort Mountain State Park seems to have something for everyone!

Parking was nearby, but it is not like you saw the cars from your camp spot. The bathrooms were a short drive, or long walk away and were clean. There was plenty of space at the actual site for us to spread out. We moved some of the tables so we could have a centralized kitchen and eating area. The lake was right at the bottom of our site, although getting up and down the steep hill was tough, a great cardio workout. The scenery in the area was amazing! Also, shout out to the host as she let me in after hours as the gates close at 9pm. I got there at 9:30, called the number on the booth, and she came right out.

I spoke to the host before we came as a bad storm had caused a power outage and they were extremely helpful and friendly. However, the weekend was soured by an interaction with a woman driving around a cart marked "volunteer" as we were hooking up our camper. Check out time is 12:00. We were literally hooking our camper to our truck at 12:08 after making sure the campsite was cleaned up and clear of debris. This was when we were approached by an older woman driving a volunteer cart that immediately said "Clearly you don't know checkout time is 12:00." I explained to her that we were simply hooking up and would be out of the way momentarily. She proceeded to tell me that next time we should wake up earlier because they need to "clean" the sites after we leave. Not sure what cleaning is really done since I swept leaves out and cleared fallen limbs when we set up. She proceeded to give the same speech to some tent campers across from us that had cleared their site and were just loading their cars. I am completely fine with a friendly reminder since yes we were a whopping 8 minutes late pulling out of the site. Beyond that, there is no reason to be rude and disrespectful and speak to people like they are children. She really seemed to be enjoying the tiny bit of power that little volunteer cart gave her and had my child not been standing beside me she would have quickly been put back in her place. Beyond crazy power tripping volunteer lady, I highly recommend the campground. Minus one star for crazy cart lady.
