Great place to camp. We primitive camped and with my husband being retired vet it was free. Everything is great except not having a shower house. Fishing is good here for catfish. They have Largemouth, Walleye, and tons of other species.

Very clean and pretty. Went here a month ago to view the eclipse. Only thing is I saw signs for a concession stand and never found it. Not sure if it's not there anymore or if I was just lost. Aside from that, great place!

It's a beautiful park. Roads are narrow. The pavilions are big and have lights. Park closes at 10:00 pm. I saw a sign for camping but we didn't look at the camp sites. We saw a lake and a concession stand. It was a great place for a birthday party or a reunion. There was water available and a small child's recreation area (swings and some other equipment) really close. Bathrooms are outhouse type but close by as well. There was electricity available as well. We had pavilion #1.

So peaceful and pretty. A very relaxing place to take a walk, especially in the spring and fall.

Inexpensive camping in a beautiful area. So quiet! Walking, hiking, close to town but far enough out you don't have the noise and lights. My dog enjoyed the trails and lake. Love this park.

Very beautiful place with a lake, camping areas, and lots of horseback riding and hiking trails! Kind of in a dicey (very conservative) area though - not sure how friendly people are to some people.

This place is great. Love it for the serenity. Always nice people there and the park staff leaves you alone. Wonderful hiking trails that aren't too long. Good fishing, trout if you can believe that!

It's very quiet here wasnt crowded when we went ... I wish they had a bath house for showers ... but they do have a place were you can fill up your camper or jugs.... my sons bike tire had a flat and we had no way of airing it up the staff were kind enough to air it up for us .. we love this place my kids always has someone to play with and I've noticed other parents or campers look out for them (kids)

A hidden jewel here in a great place to live. Just don't want to get overrun by others looking for a little bit of heaven
