The campsite is well taken care of. The site keepers do a good job of coming around to offer wood for the fire or to give the weather report. The bathhouse is clean. We learned that if you go to the pond at 9 AM you can help feed the fish! It was a great trip.

We spent Wednesday 8/24 - Sunday 8/28 at the park. It was awesome, great walking trails, and lots of pavement to walk on as well. Alice was a great camp host, and very accommodating, and welcoming. We also met Duane park manager, real hands on guy, and also asked if we had any questions or needed anything just flag him or Alice down. Sites are very private, showers and toilets were clean. Would highly recommend!

Is there a swimming area? Nice place to kayak? Kid friendly?

Jason Navratil | Oct 1, 2018
Ed Millman | Oct 1, 2018

The Embarass River runs by/through the park. If you have your own kayaks, you could put in up river and acces the park from the river. There is a pond/small lake in the park. I don't think swimming is allowed there. In any case, I wouldn't advise it. The lake is used by a local university to conduct studies of the fish in that lake. My grandchildren enjoyed going down to the river, walking along the sand bar, and looking at the many types of shells they found there. To sum up, there is no designated swimming area. Any swimming opportunity you find would be at your own rsk, and not kid friendly, in my opinion.

Sites include electric only. There is a dump station at the entrance to the campground. Several hydrants located throughout the campground make it an easy walk to fill a water container. A very nice shower house (including flush toilets) is just a short walk from even the furthest campsite.
