Smaller sites but nice and woodsy

This campground's sites and roads seem a little smaller/tighter but plenty of room for smaller rigs to maneuver.

The outer loop is non-electric and more "in the woods" than the center, which also helps provide a bit more privacy. The sites are still close together but we didn't have much noise to contend with the one night we stayed. Some of the sites are much less level than others, which is typical in a state park.

Trails that we were able to check out were well-maintained and the Hidden Falls is worth the short trek out there. Be ready for a lot mosquitoes on the trail (after a rain at least), although they weren't as bad at the campsite.

Bathrooms and showers were modern and clean.

With this many trees, we'd like to get back in the fall as the color should be impressive.

Verizon cell service was decent but T-Mobile was nonexistent.
