Nice state park with full rv hookups. Great bike riding around the lake. There are some bass in there too!

We work from the road in our Rv. This is our favorite camping spot so far. Locals are very nice and hospitable. Park is coral, well groomed, nicely laid out and convenient to activities.

Promised Land SP was a great campground. It is out in the wilderness but has plenty of stuff around. The sites were a little tight and short. Water falls nearby were gorgeous.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

They do! Trails and plenty of spaces for them to play. Lots of people bring dogs. On leash. If you go to the left of the kayaks there is a small trail by the water way away from park but still in eye sight. We played fetch in the water there safely. There is a sign telling you where they can't go by the beach. Enjoy the visit!
