We loved brunet island state park and will definitely go back. We went right after Labor Day weekend and it was still half full with campers. We enjoy mid week camping so it’s not so busy. Beware the raccoons are ninjas and will definitely come visit. We kayaked and hiked a couple times and loved both. There were tons of mushrooms in the woods which made hiking even more fun. The beach is huge but it was too chilly to swim when we were there. There was no wood available there that we knew of so we made a short drive into town and found some for sale on the street after the gas station in town. Most of the campsites you can drop right into the water from which is also awesome. It was windy the first day we were there and we were camped on the west side of the campground. It got a little crazy but the views of the sunset made it totally worth it.
