We were there for a group meetup so the campground was very accommodating. However, it would be an entirely different experience for weekend solo camping. There are a lot of seasonal campers and then our group.

Your family will love the amenities. The sites are very close together. Whatever you do, do not come before the 2 pm check-in time because they will charge you even if you’re with a group!

This park has lots of seasonal sites and it’s set up nice for large group camping. We visited this park as a group camping event hosted by the Wandering Wagners and it was a nice location for this event. If we were camping there just for the weekend there is not much to do in the way of hiking or exploring. They have a small swimming area and a bound pad for kids. Van Buren state park is within walking distance so we spent time there playing disc golf and geocaching.
