Excellent camp grounds! Disappointed with no water or working plugs anywhere near. I enjoyed my stay anyway. Very restful, peaceful & nice. Out house at least & you can rinse your hands in the lake.

It's a nice easy trail with beautiful sights. I highly recommend for an excellent casual experience. It also makes for a nice date spot.

Nice place for a small hike and a family picnic. There is a good size parking lot. The place is dog friendly. There are three hiking trails to choose from. The place had beautiful fall colors and is scenic.

This is such a great spot to camp in! Camped here for two nights (a Friday and Saturday) and only during the first night was another person camped on the other side of the pond. You virtually have the whole place to yourself! There are three lean-tos (seems only two of them have fire pits) with picnic tables, and one tent platform. No showers, but there is a porto-potty that was clean. The trails through the forest are lovely to walk along. You have to email to get a permit to camp, and also make a donation, but it's all simple. Don't be off-put by the website...it seems fake, but it's legit!

You may be able to get to the tower if your stroller is set up for trails. The path isnt very difficult but you certainly shouldn't try to bring the stroller up the tower.
