Most sites are not level, sites are close together, and have to drive thru grass to get to many of the sites. Not many wooded/private sites. Great price to camp. ($10/night) We camped at site 66 and there was a lot of traffic from cars trying to get to their sites and a lot of foot traffic from people going to the showers/bathrooms. Bathrooms were not the cleanest, had a tree frog in the shower. T... Most sites are not level, sites are close together, and have to drive thru grass to get to many of the sites.

($10/night) We camped at site 66 and there was a lot of traffic from cars trying to get to their sites and a lot of foot traffic from people going to the showers/bathrooms. Bathrooms were not the cleanest, had a tree frog in the shower. There is a train that goes by frequently (didn't bother us too much) Seems to be a lot of unnecessary traffic on the roads especially at night. The same cars kept driving by repeatedly and didn't seem to be camping. The first night we had children from surrounding sites playing near and at times were in our site to the point a couple tripped over our tent stakes. People didn't seem to be respectful of quiet times and were quite loud later at night. Parents were not watching their children and let them run all over and play in the road. (Not the parks fault...people please be respectful of others)

Great campground in a gorgeous state park. This is not a campground for big rvs and motor homes. Sites are not flat with no pads or hookups. Some require driving across uneven grass. Best suited for tent/car camping or small pop ups or camper vans. That said it is very well maintained with dumpsters and vault toilets. Nearby cedar ridge has flush toilets and shower building (1/4 mile walk). State... Great campground in a gorgeous state park. This is not a campground for big rvs and motor homes.

State park itself is full of hiking trails and fishing spots. Also has a gift shop and excellent restaurant. Highly recommend this campground!!

This place has an amazing shower facility. There are some fish in the waters on the park land.... A lot of good smallmouth and a few trout. There are an extreme number of large crawdads in multiple places. The rangers are really cool. Just don't listen to the sign that says they sell bait at the gift shop.

White Pines is a beautiful park with a great array of rustic campsites and wonderful day-use areas. The hosts are friendly, and the scenery is beautiful with miles and miles of trails. There is a lodge with a restaurant, and cabins are available if camping isn't your thing.
