ScoutAlthough off the beaten path, it was easy to find and easy to park. Some locals at various times, but we were the only over-nighters. It was quiet and serene with several places to park.
ScoutWe absolutely loved our time at Hamburg State Park. We were in town for a baseball tournament and decided to pull the camper and are so glad we did. Site 21 was right next to the fishing pier and had beautiful views of the water and sunsets. We were right across from the playground which was a hit with our 6&3 year old! The bathroom/bath house was a little bit aways but we used the camper so not an issue for us, but might do it for others. Everything was clean, everyone was quiet and it was not overly crowded. We had a very enjoyable experience here!
TravelerLots of shade very nice and quiet reasonably priced
ScoutAllen was very kind and helpful, the interaction was very refreshing
