Nice area
Nice area in the Irish Hills. The campground has a couple of loops. Most sites around the outside are decently wooded. There’s a nice little mile nature trail through one of those loops.
There’s a nice dog run that we took advantage of.
There’s a couple of lakes where you can fish and kayak.
The day use area has a nice big grass picnic area. The beach is pretty small but it’s still a beach. Dogs are allowed at the day use area.
Update: we went camping at MIS for NASCAR and this state park is about a 10 minute drive from the track and the campgrounds at the track. We camped at the track but used the Lake here. I also noticed campers from the race using the dump station here at this park!
Nice place to camp
2 lakes with good fishing, some sites are full sun. Many have great shade. Close to MIS racetrack
Nice place
Take the kids there and they love it. Nice little fishing pier and access to Round lake and Wamplers lake. Decent beach and park.
