State Park on the edge of a Lake

I wasn't overly impressed with this campground. I was there the weekend after Labor Day and it was still pretty busy/full. There were a couple sites that sounded like Frat Parties that went well into the night. The spots were also very close to each other, so the people in the spot next to me could hear our conversations and same for us. Also there were RV spots looking down on the tent site I was in. The sheriff and rangers were also constantly patrolling the campground, which made it seem not as safe. Also this late in the season the lake is very low, so it was a bit of a walk to get to the water's edge. The pros were there was a great trail (3 miles) going all away around the park/along the lake. The bathrooms were clean and well lit. There were plenty of activities for children and families.
