A beautiful and secluded place to go overnight or just for the day. Park rangers were very friendly and helpful when I had some car trouble. Very well maintained grounds and trails.

Great state park for individuals, friends, families or groups. The park and campsites are clean and well cared for with upgrades. Campsites are level with trees for shade but allow for sun, and the playground is in great shape. There are multiple hiking trails and a lake for fishing, kayaking or canoeing. BHP State Park is an all-around great state park, and we plan to return with our grandkids again.

The staff are super nice and friendly. They recommended the Turkey call trail hike which takes you across the boardwalk, to the observation tower and loops around to the lake across the dam. Wonderful hike of 2.45 miles. I saw wild boar in the swamp while I wad on the boardwalk. The view from the observation tower was magnificent. The trail wad well marked. Bring drinks and snacks, there are no vending machines. Small gift shop inside the visitor center. Public bathroom inside visitor center.
