So much History!
Highly recommend planning a weekend to stay at Johnson Shut-Ins State Park. There is two parts to the park, the campground and the actual Shut-Ins. Camground: Offers Electric, Basic, Cabins and even Walk-in sites. The basic sites, which is my personal favorite, has its own beauty by surrounding your site with trees giving you your privacy.
Shut-Ins: Absolutely beautiful!! Its about a mile from the campground and then it is about .5 mile paved path walk to the Shut-Ins from the parking lot. Don’t let that intimidate you! It’s worth it! Expect to be there for a few hours to enjoy the rocks and natural pools. Make sure you wear really good water shoes, you’ll be doing a lot of climbing through the rocks.
Side Note: If you’re camping, you get a pass to the the Shut-Ins reserved parking for only campers. Also make sure you stop by the visitor center to learn more about the park.
Wait, there’s even more! Elephant Rocks State Park is a must go! It’s about a 20 minute drive from Johnson Shut-Ins. You wont want to miss out on the giant rocks! I recommend going early in the morning to Elephant Rocks to climb and walk the park and then head to Johnson Shut-Ins to cool off and relax. (You won’t have to worry about parking if you’re a camper 😉)
I posted a few pictures of both parks and put in the caption which park is which.
