Great campground, nice staff, clean bathrooms

We had a wonderful time on our visit. The facilities were clean, well maintained, and fully stocked! Super nice and helpful staff. Beautiful fall foliage. Some of the walk in campsites are a far walk from the parking. So, if you simply want car camping, make sure you pick an appropriate site!

Nice state park

Nice state park. Lots of room on our site. Enjoyed the beach and the trails.

Lots of poison ivy so stay in the center of the trails and be aware.
