We enjoyed our 5 days here. We stayed up stop the first couple nights, very forested, quiet, peaceful. Then we moved down by the lake -> just beautiful in the mornings and evenings. Both campsites were great, camp hosts are friendly and helpful. Highly, recommend this area. Bring bug spray!

Park was great. There was a lot of wildlife to watch, and deer and raccoons that will almost walk right up to you. Although people seem to drive fairly quickly through the park, we had a great time. Ticks were very active at the time we were there, and you had to check every couple of hours, as they would climb right up your shoe onto your leg. The trails around the park are fun to walk as well.

A very nice place. The bathrooms were clean and over all a well kept campground. We enjoyed our stay. Nice little camp store to purchase essentials if you forgot something.
