We are local and come to the park often for the beach and the hiking trails. The beach and lake are great! We just camped there for our first time over July 4th weekend which is why I write this review. The staff were outstanding! Women in the office were so friendly and accommodating I can't say enough good things about them. The entire park was in outstanding shape. Bathrooms were very clean, real time hot water that worked great in the showers. Campers were respectful and quiet hours were adhered to. We had a wonderful time.

Beautiful State Park. They do charge a $7 fee to enter the park but the visit was well worth the fee charge. They have picnic tables and grills as well as a man-made beach with a roped off swimming area and life guard on duty. There is a small concession building but it appeared their offerings were most snack items. There are also camp sites available for extended stays.

Very nice park . A lot of back roads to get there though. Love the Hyde Hall Covered bridge. Wonderful beach.

Wow! I don’t think I have ever camped at a park this nice. The camp sites are well spaced and feel private for a place this large. This place is meticulously groomed. Large lake, hiking trails, and really nice places for the kids to play. …
