Camping here is an amazing experience, no full hookups, but it's quite and safe and clean. Great views, the staff work really hard to keep and maintain an excellent state park

Good place to come out and enjoy the day. They have a clean restroom facility and the food hall is convenient. Pretty pricey, but it is there to accommodate your basic needs. I have not used the kayaks or canoes they rent, but it is a nice add-on.

Why do we see standing, charred tree trunks here and there in the park? Is this evidence of a previous forest fire?
