Camping the weekend was lots of fun. Lots of outdoor activities and some very good camping spots. But beware there are some bad ones as well, the spot next to ours was flooded and they still rented to someone. We saw several so beware if its rained over the past few days. I'm sure we will be back after this weekend the whole family had fun.

James Ullom | Nov 29, 2020

If u go 3 miles south of the park on 23, there is a sign that says delaware wildlife area. Turn east on that road and go about 1/2 mile and on the south side of the road is a small park that is made to put kayak and canoes in under a bridge.
