My wife and I went here looking for a place to fish and the lady at the gate said there was many areas to fish but it was $10 so we paid.

Then we entered the park to find out it was a different story they had one little section off to the side for fishing that was full of people. We went in the visitor center to find out where all we can fish and they told us only in that spot and to go to the gate to get a refund. We then went to the gate to find out they do not do refunds and now we are out $10 to drive around their parking lot.

We are car campers, and prefer a more woodsy, secluded camping environment, however, the friendliness and kind generosity of those regular patrons really made our night great - we got a first class tour of the premises, including the nearby outdoor art/sculpture park, and all the families of campers who offered us great conversation, stories, and samples of barbecue! Thanks to Charlene, Claudette, and friends for adding some fun to our vacation!

Campground was rather neglected and rustic. Not one of our faborites. But the people we met we're great folks. Some have permanent set ups. Since we are totally self-contained and sufficient the amenities didn't matter since it was only for one night. Would stay there again in a pinch. Bill and Linda Lane, Montpelier, Va

Probably the worst campground I've stayed at. I was motorcycle camping and stayed here. This is not a place for tent camping. I was stuck between two campers. The facilities were up to date, but were not cared for. There was no soap in the men's bathroom the entire time I was there. None of the hand dryers worked, and it was incredibly expensive to just camp for one night at $35
