Memorial Day weekend

Campsite #79 was sunny and there were no neighbors on either side of us. We rode our bikes around the nice large campground. We took our kids on an abbreviated version of the Thorn mountain bike trail. We all loved it! We did get confusing information about the MTB trail from the nice campground staff, but with help from some maps, we figured it out. We enjoyed paddling in the SUP around the lake. We underestimated how much fun we would have here at this small park. You can borrow Discs at the campground entrance to play the Disc golf course. The bathrooms could be better cared for.

Campervan with kids

Many many unlevel spots in nonelectric sites. Only one playground in full hookup RV area, hard to get to. Beach access hike is at least 1.7 miles walk from loop C. You have to drive to many of the hikes and beach especially if you have children. Positives are it's very quiet. You don't see many people on hikes. Mineral springs are cool. We rented a boat for fam of 4 with motor, was $20 an hour, best part of trip.

Great for kids

Tightly packed sites but people were quiet and respectful. Great for biking around campground and to the beach a mile or so away. Free public beach has a dog beach and a small combed swimming area. The water is shallow, has a sandbar and is good for kids of all ages. Would camp again just to ride bike to the beach!

Class B #2 campground

We stayed in the #2 class B primative campground right next to the river. Porta potties, no water or electricity. It is just beside the river and a nice easier hike is nearby walking distance. It is a popular hiking area, for good reason. Sites are pretty close to one another but people were nice. We would go again. 2 kids aged 8 and 6 liked it, although water is not for wading/swimming. It's a few miles from the larger state campground where the RVs stay, but went there to get firewood and a car tag. Nice lady there told me we could use their showers, but we didn't as we just stayed a night. We would go back, the forest is beautiful and trails well maintained.
