Nice little campground in a beautiful state park! Most sites require a little leveling but nothing major. Sites are concrete and has a covered picnic table and very nice fire pits that are surrounded by concrete!Nice playground, shower house could use some updates. Overall nice place for a short visit.

We love St. Francios State Park! There are some basic spots you'll need extra leveling blocks but the sites are clean & the park is well maintained. The water access is a short bikeride & hike away. Pics/video is from electric site # 35. Plenty of space for our family of 6 and our 2 large dogs.

This was our second time camping here. We enjoyed our time there. The people who camp here are very nice the camp hosts were kind. The campgrounds are always so clean when we get there. There wasn't a lot of people in the area we were in so it was nice a quiet. The camping spot we were at was spacious and the bathroom was close. We really enjoy our time at St. Francois.
