I've been coming to this park for several years now and is still my favorite of the state parks I've camped at. Most of the sites are secluded enough and are spread apart nicely. I chose site 78, one I've stayed at before. The young woman who checked me in was very nice and welcoming. I like the recent changes to the registration booth. There was a recent change to Canopus Lake that blocked off access to the peninsula, due to rehabilitation. They also removed the picnic bench from this area. I believe this was in response to overcrowding due to covid lock downs; more people were swimming in non designated areas. While I miss walking out on the peninsula, I understand the decision to close it.
