Great campground. $20 a night for 30amp. Sadly no water or sewer at space, but it is available on property. Fishing wasn’t great, but still caught a few bass. Sadly they hadn’t stocked trout yet, sounds like October 31st they will stock. Tons of great hiking trails and plenty to do. Decent playgrounds, but kids will bore quickly of them so bring bikes and toys.
Beautiful park, the campground, at least the Oak Ridge side was clean well maintained a little disappointed the only shower facility for all the campgrounds is in the Pine campground but oh well. The Lakeside trail was a little overgrown and some of the stairs are in need of repairs but not a deal breaker. It's a great out of the way State Park, a really good 'hidden gem'. I will definitely stay here again.
The trails are well marked for the most part. A paper map and All Trails will make the hikes easier. There are no benches to rest on the trails, so be prepared to sit on the ground. Very little trash on the ground. Campsites are get away from each other you don't really hear the other campers.
My Husband and I, Primitive Camp! We occupied a spot, it happened to have electricity 🔌 so we plugged in our Fan, through our ⛺ Tent and our phone charger! Because, why not?!? It was a Beautiful Stay! The Grounds Managers were Awesome and very informative! Google the History of this Place! It was a Place in which War Veterans would have a place to heal 🩵 We had Amazing Weather in August!! They Have Showers!!! You can "walk in" or make a reservation through the app. Check in is at 3:00 Check out is it 2:57 p.m. We will be back!!! Thank You!
There are a few decent hiking trails, two campgrounds, and a 58 acre lake with decent fishing. However, there isn't much else to the park. They could have done a much better job with more hiking trails and better parking. There are basically no informational signs available. The park is tranquil though. The park has free entrance. Also, beware of the quicksand by the old Bridge. It is a scary deal as we had a member in our party who was over knee deep and had to be saved. We were lucky there were tree branches around we could through to the person otherwise it would have been a dire rescue situation.
