Big sites, trails, beach, store & more

Stopped here for one night on our way to Michigan. Drove around looking at all the sites, wrote down numbers of sites we’d like to stay at (near bathrooms (we have a teardrop). Decided to come back for 12 days after our trip. Many sites to choose from. Full hook ups are limited, but we were happy with a power site. Plenty of bathrooms and shower facilities. They are not bad, I would consider them to be clean (I’ve seen a lot worse).

Our first site was about 30 yards wide. Our current site is about 20 yards, with an open grass area next to us another 20 yards.

There is a beach here, with a concession stand. It was closed when we arrived. (They close after Labor Day and open back up in May.

Many hiking trails, some allow biking. The trail map does not designate whether you can ride or not. But there are signs on the posts at the trailhead. I descended over 1,000 feet in the first 4 miles. There was a lot of climbing, technical single track, switchbacks, rocky creek crossings and some roots. The trees keep it cool even in 80 degree weather.

Plan to come back and meet family here next year.

Quiet and convenient

Stayed over the weekend and had a lovely relaxing time.

Pros: quiet, close to Brookville, lots of trails nearby, nice swimming beach Cons: hard to get a site next to the playground - it's kinda out of the way.

Loved our site - lots of trees for hanging a hammock and very roomy! Wouldn't book during rain though - I think it would be super muddy.

Small campground...no partying here.

Stayed here a year ago. Nice long sites but not very private. Planes sometimes fly overhead. Trails, pool, historical home to visit. Only one vehicle is allowed. Even guests who may be unloadIng wIll be asked to move wIthIn 5 mInutes. Guest parking is quite a walk. Do not park even ONE tire on the grass-they make you move.
