This place was a surprise! It goes on forever. I am not sure how long I spent driving toward the…read morecamping area through winding roads in thick, green woods, but it felt like ages. I stayed in the "primitive" camping area, and it was gorgeous: deep in the woods, serene and private. My site even featured raised gravel beds for tents. Yes, the bugs are brutal in the summer, as one would expect from being deep in the woods. If you've never spent a summer in the Southeast or Midwest, you are in for a rude awakening. They are even more brutal when one is showering with them in the park bathrooms; I'll probably find bites in very unpleasant places. None of this was the park's fault: the bathrooms were perfectly well-maintained, just full of clouds of mosquitos. Your showers will be brief, or else be achieved via Wet Wipe. The other reviews are correct: there is no signal in this park. They are also correct that you are camping and should just relax and unplug. What my silly, Millennial brain didn't put together was that no signal anywhere in this vast park also meant no help from navigation on my way back out of the park if I decided to try a different route than the way I came in. I got turned around for quite a while. Moral of the story: unplug and relax but don't stray from the path, Red Riding Hood. I enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back (but maybe in the fall when I would need less Caladryl).

Beautiful place; definitely a hidden gym. The park rangers need to keep up with the park better.read more

Today is Saturday, April 20, 2019…read more I've been searching in the area for different parks. I've come across this particular park. It's nearby a school and I like this location. When you enter where the park is located-which is behind the school there are five bike ramp parking slots for bikes as well as when you enter the drive to the right there are parking spaces for vehicles First thing I like about this park is that it is gated with a fence that goes around the entire border of the park. for obvious reasons I have a toddler and so have it closed and by gate is a big of importance to me. Second thing I like about this park is that I can park my vehicle at about 6 feet away and I can still visually see my vehicle from standing in the middle of the park Also within the park itself there are two sitting areas (benches) for parents, guardians, siblings and caretakers to rest Just to note: that after a rain some areas of the park have standing water which is expected there's a hippo, crocodile and a ladybug on two out of three of those for the kids to play with there's a little bit of standing water -so just be mindful after the rain-when visiting a park as is anywhere else that is an outdoor activity As I stand in the middle of the park I do notice that the make up of the ground is very textured soft cushiony- when kiddos are running around they are not running around on gravel necessarily or asphalt this is a soft cushiony material
