Burnside Island State Park

Come here for golf, fishing, and/or picnics not much else to do. The golf course is apparently well known and quite pretty, but we spent the weekend hiking in nearby Daniel Boone Park while the guys golfed. There’s some Civil War history here too (hence the name of the park). There’s a town with grocery, supplies, restaurants, etc. just a few miles up the roads, which is nice and convenient. The campgground is among the trees but no sites (AFIAK) are along the water and most aren’t too shady. Ours was nice and grassy and close enough to the golf course that the kids enjoyed finding golf balls...so if you’re afraid of getting hit stay to the northern campsites. Great site if you’re boating (there’s a launch on site) or golfing, but not so great for enjoying nature and getting away from it all.
