It's very quiet, owners are friendly, make sure to stop into the little store as they have some local products for purchase. There's also a room that we didn't notice last by the office that has some big couches for lounging along with pool tables and games and books. We are usually pretty busy with family when we're here so didn't even know this place existed. The utilities are all in working order and we like to stay down on the end so we have an overview of the cattle farm. The fireflies at night in the field are also really fun to watch.

I had a great spot along a babbling brook that helped put me to sleep and gently woke me up in the morning. As I walked around almost everyone said help to me and were openly friendly as we chatted. There shower and bath facilities were clean and modern, even the smaller building on the far end was a toilet and not a hole in the ground. they were clean and did not smell at all, I don't even think I saw any bugs in any of them. There was wood on site for purchasing and i think I saw a pop machine but I am not sure, also there was no snack shop but that was not a concern for me. I would recommend this place to anyone and I plan on going back, the sooner the better!

We were next to the road, across from the wood shop, and a dumpster with garbage flowing outside. There was no picnic table and the fire ring was not usable. If you are just looking for a place to park im sure this is fine but if you are looking for a relaxing outside experience this is not your place. I wish we had known before we drove the distance.

We stayed while they were celebrating Halloween at the campground; a haunted house, decor, activities, and trick-or-treating. When we went to check-in, the door to the office was locked but someone quickly notified us via intercom that they would be right down to help us. The gentleman that helped us check in was incredibly friendly, offered up Wi-Fi information, and escorted our purchased firewood (and us) to our site. The campground is a lot bigger than we expected. There are several permanent sites here but lots of sites for RVs and tents as well. We were impressed with how secluded each site feels, there are a lot of mature trees. The extra touches, like a pumpkin at each campsite, was really thoughtful. The bathrooms were also insanely clean. They offered shower mats for their shower stalls, which I've never seen before. Just a lot of nice, personal touches. Unfortunately the cold got to us and we ended up leaving Saturday afternoon before the festivities took place. The owner saw us leaving and asked if everything was OK, he was concerned that we were leaving early. We will absolutely be staying at this campground again!

Found out that I would have a tent area to myself as it was during the week. I bought some firewood and Annette's husband John delivered it to my site, which was on the river. Very peaceful. They had the usual amenities I.E full hookups plus volleyball, horseshoe pits, showers, hiking and horse trails and a nice beach. John and Annette have a real nice place there. Go check it out.

We booked a double site as we had two RVs and multiple tents. It sure was plenty spacious! However, we all had noted it would have been great to see photos of the site when booking so we could know more that to expect. It was 100% full sun, and truly not chance for shade. Most other sites at this park had lots of tree coverage, which we would have loved and likely swapped to giving the chance. Being in a wide open space in the dead of summer can be tricky. The grounds are massive and well-kept, with tons of great hiking trails. Overall stunning views and vast green spaces. There's two large lakes with options to kayak, canoe, fish, ,etc. Concession stand with tasty ice cream, and a handful of convenience-store type items. Oh and we also definitely enjoyed the playground area with the kiddos. On the bad side: the shower-houses were pretty terrible. At least the one nearest to our site. It was to the point that half of us chose to forego showering all together just to avoid it. We also had a bummer experience at one of the beaches. We arrived around 10am and were all swimming for a few hours (along with tons of other visitors), when the rangers arrived and promptly closed the beach due to dangerous water bacteria. The closing wasn't the issue, but instead allowing 50+ folks to swim and fish in it before doing so. We'd all wished this water testing was done before the beach 'opened' for the day, as it left us fairly nervous having the quickly be rushed out. Overall, plenty of positives to this gorgeous state park - we made some great camping memories! Just hope those few shared pieces of feedback could help for future plans/changes.
