Beautiful place to camp if that is all you are interested in. Hugh variety of sites and cabins. The day I was there the swimming area and the snack bar and camp store were closed. Very little to do other than walk around the park or fish in the small lake. BEWARE: the deer flies are terrible, step outside and you will be swarmed.

Beautiful, well maintained, had great camping sites, cabins, and staff were friendly and helpful. Loved how they try to keep things as natural as they can. Really enjoyed the relaxing environment without a crazy ton of rules. No lifeguard so you can swim freely and take floatation devices like pool noodles and rafts in water. Many people fishing, swimming, and boating, but never crowded. Lots of hiking trails and even the Finger Lakes trail well marked. Bring your own boat, canoe, raft, or kayak as they no longer rent them. We definitely would go again!

We love this camp ground! It's literally a hidden gem! Great spacious campsites. We were meeting somebody from up north and realized our campsites were nowhere near each other and they accommodated us last minute to be right next to each other!! ( With availability of course!) I was very pleased this past weekend! Kids enjoyed it as did we! Very clean park and beach!

Beautiful views and a lake is there if you want to cool off on a hot day. I really like hiking around the lake. The camping area was great, it was spacious and has a great fire pit. I was expecting the campsites to be more secluded and farther apart, but I could see other compsites and others could see us. Otherwise it was an awesome weekend.
