Gunlock State Park Campground

Facilities are new and clean. Decent cell service. Unreliable electricity or something, though, because the lights turned off in the showers, restrooms, and also at the sites during our stay.

New campground - very nice

The construction is new. Sites (mostly drive through but a few back-in) have a table, fire ring, power and water.  There is no shade, so you will want to bring something for that. The bathrooms are very clean with heaters. The toilets are normal flush style toilets. 

The campground is right off the road and is easy to get to.  Roads are gravel/dirt.  The rangers were friendly and helpful. I was a walk-in and it was $35.
