First time, one night
Super chill and plenty of space, especially for tents on site 39. Bathrooms are very nice and modern and clean, maintenance was very nice to let me shower before he could clean it. It was our only night there and we heard a lot of movements by the woods that it creeped us out but we were hearing haunted stories before arriving so the Halloween vibes was definitely there. Loads of shade and quiet nice neighbors.
Good hiking & fishing!
Lots of intense trails to explore but some tree were in the way due to a past storm. Close to cedar river for awesome fishing!
Will stay again!
The park is reopened! We have stayed here and will stay again. One of our favorite places to camp.
