Extremely buggy in mid July which is expected. This park has many trails that wind through woods, prairies, and around lakes. The campsite we stayed was a back packing site called "GRASS". It had a pit toilet and a small shelter which the other backpacking sites did not have. Many horse back riders shared the trailers with us which was cool to see except for the horse droppings that remained on the trails.
