    Sunset over the fields surrounding the park

    I love this place. It's gorgeous, secluded, and nobody seems willing to venture more than 20' in so most days my dog and I say hi to people at the entrance, agree with everyone that it is indeed beautiful here, and then proceed to have the whole park to ourselves. It's baffling, but great. I'm guessing come spring/summer that'll change though. Seriously though, it is a beautiful park to wander around in. There is a trail but it's a small enough place there is no fear of getting lost so I think it's more fun to explore. The history of it is fun, but irrelevant to me, I think the bottomless pit is way cooler (seriously, they don't know how deep it goes, more than 600' at least). But mostly I think it's really fun to run around in and dangle my feet over the edge of ledges.

    A teeny place to stop for lunch on a cross country trip, and it was an excellent stop. A beautiful short hike, with surprising views.

    I can't rate the weather, which is windy and blustery and not a good day to be on the lake,…read moreunfortunately. We camped for 2 nights on the east side in space 54 with only a few others nearby a few sites away. It's just what we needed to decompress after the College World Series in Omaha. Beautiful scenery and views! We had planned on renting kayaks and getting out on the lake, but with 26 mph winds, intermittent rain and clouds, it just wasn't happening. There is nobody at either entrance for camping or state park permits so it's a self pay kiosk. It looks like you can also pay for the firewood and just take it from the side, but not sure. We didn't take any due to the weather. I am wondering though, to rent a kayak is says to do so at the front gate, so there is nobody there and wondering how quickly someone would answer the phone number listed to call. Didn't find a camp store either which we had seen online and doubt it would be open if there was either being a week day and very few people at the park. We did drive 6 miles into the cute town of Canistota where you can still pump gas and then go in and pay afterwards. Nice people in the store. Overall, impressed with the cleanliness of all facilities. The restrooms were spotless and even free from creepy crawly bugs in the showers that we find at other campgrounds. Speaking of bugs, there is a multitude of little flies that bite that we were fighting off. Bug repellent didn't seem to "bug" them at all and they were so abundant we had to head indoors. Our poor pups were scratching and nipping as these things covered their fur. That is however, the only negative thing we could find here. If ever in the area again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

    Love Lake Vermilion State Park. You have alot of camping sites to choose from. They open a new…read moresection not long ago because everyone lives camping there. You can either camp on 2 different sides of the lake. They have a very good dump station to empty your tanks or fill up with fresh water. All the rangers are so nice.
