Roaring River State Park is an absolute gem and one of our favorite places to unplug and reconnect. The trout fishing is second to none. Whether you’re an experienced angler or bringing kids to fish for the first time, the crystal clear water and daily stocked river make for an incredible experience.

The trout fishing is second to none. Whether you’re an experienced angler or bringing kids to fish for the first time, the crystal clear water and daily stocked river make for an incredible experience. We’ve also had amazing experiences camping here over the years. The campgrounds are clean, well-maintained, and family-friendly. Evenings around the campfire, cooking trout dinners together, and listening to the sounds of nature create memories that last forever. Most of all, Roaring River is the perfect place for family and friends to spend quality time together. Whether it’s fishing, hiking, swimming, or just relaxing by the water, it brings everyone closer. No distractions, just laughter, fresh air, and unforgettable moments.

Over the past few years things have gone down hill. Last year we were unable to unlock our door and the had to give us a maintenance key as our card swiper was not repairable so it would function. This year, our door came open during the day. They had removed the swipe card locks and replaced with regular door handles. Ours was very poorly installed and the mechanism did not secure itself to the strike plate and could just be pushed open. They did get maintenance to stop by and get it "bandaided" until we left so it would be secure for our belongings while fishing. There has not been anyone by to empty the trash, check on towls, or clean in the 3 days we have been here. The hot water runs, but the temp is set at warm at best. It would be appreciated during the colder spring and fall months to at least have water temps that approached hot. Every year for the past decade the price has crept up and the service or structural upkeep has gone down. The staff we have seen have been very nice and helpful, but at this price point one expects a secure functional door, some kind of towl/trash service, and hot water. Would highly recommend the state park as campground adventure, the hiking and fishing are exceptional, but if looking for cabin life I might want to explore other options.

Such a beautiful campground, especially during autumn foliage changes! Even though there were plenty of campers, everyone was courteous to each other and we had a peaceful stay over our three nights.

Roaring River State Park offers the most beautiful hiking trails, great accommodations and ample fishing. The park store employees are friendly and the campground amenities are lovely. There's a wonderful picnic area, free for day use and a designated fish cleaning area. Highly recommend!
