No experience with any personnel. No one ever approached me. Kinda lonely and desolate.

Small but beautiful campground on the bank of the White River. Clean and the sandy beach is beautiful! Launch ramp, but no dock.

Craighead Forest Park - Shadow. One of the camp kitties

Craighead Forest Park

My husband picked this campground online, and wow did he nail it. It's fantastic. Just $25 a day…read morefor the small RV section, and that includes free electricity, water, and gray water dumping right at your site. Black water dumping is available at a designated area. The highlights for me were being near the water, and the absolute gem of a camp hostess, Melissa. When my husband checked us in he said, "She's really friendly," and a few hours later I met her myself and had to agree. Plus, I got to meet the camp kitties. Shadow, the all-black mini panther, totally stole my heart. What a sweetheart. The campground was very quiet and peaceful, with free firewood and super clean bathrooms that are ice cold, which was a total win on a hot day. The showers are free and in great condition too. The entire park is tidy and well maintained. It's a dry park, so if you're planning to enjoy a cocktail by the fire, just be a little stealthy and bring a cozy. Civilization is about a 15-minute drive away, but still dry... so plan accordingly. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely be back.

What a nice park. I came here as it showed up my hiking app and I wanted to walk my dogs before…read morecontinuing my road trip. I walked the lake trail, the rushed gravel trail along the edge. Cyclists have to use the paved trail so walkers and dog walkers can rest with ease There are restrooms at every pavilion. The park also has playgrounds, shelter, a campground and forested hiking trails. The best thing for those with dogs is the dog jumping pier. My dogs had a blast on the warm day we were here. There is also a dog beach.

Super easy trail with stunning views!…read more My husband and I went right before the sun was setting so we were able to get the best of both worlds! We got to the peak and enjoyed the beautiful views. The trail is super easy and can be done with little ones as well. Being the daredevil my husband is, we decided to go off trail a little and climb some rocks to get up the mountain. If you're feeling a little adventurous...I say go for it too!

Free entrance and free parking is a plus. No sign in required…read more There are restrooms at the base of the mountain. The West Summit Trail is supposed to be easier than the Eastern. Since I'm not used to climbing mountains I chose the Western. All I can say is whoever called that a trail is an optimist. Yes, there are some discernible parts that look like a trail, but much of the way is climbing over large rocks and boulders which in some places are sort of stacked like stairs. It was a challenge. Thank you to whoever put in the occasional benches where I could catch my breath and give my 64 year old legs a rest in between climbs. I saw some with small children, but those 6 and under were not enjoying it. If you have hiking boots, bring them along with some water, you will need them. I wore sneakers but they were slipping on some of the rocks. There are some places rails would have helped. If you don't have good balance this is not for you. The good news is I made it up to the top and down without breaking or spraining anything. I am glad I've been walking 3 miles at home, as that helped get me in enough shape to attempt this. But home is flat, and climbing uses different muscles. The view at the top is amazing, and I'm glad I did it. I'd like to work on getting in better shape and trying it again. ...But if you're not in the best shape, I recommend working on that first. Even some young people were saying how challenging the trek was for them.
