Picnic area was quiet. Good place to sit with my canine pals and reflect... Very well maintained park. Plenty of campsites available off season.

They have awesome day activities but the campgrounds are crowded and a mess. The employees in the gate house has little knowledge of the grounds paid 8 dollars for wood to drive to the maintenance shed to learn they don't keep it covered …
