Great first time visit to the park! Campsites were nicely spaced for privacy and still close enough to the bath house. Hiking and biking trails everywhere, awesome lake scenery, and great deal on firewood.

Camping is from the first weekend in May through Columbus Day. Loop A is open until December 1st for winter camping. We also have very nice cabins that after Columbus Day you can rent nightly, but you have to hike in from the office lot. They are open year round. They are not for rent nightly during the summer months. Then they are weekly rentals from Thursday to Thursday. Prices vary.

Is the park available as a wedding venue?

Mary Bratton | Oct 3, 2018
Jeff G | Oct 3, 2018

They have graduation, anniversary,retiment and birthday parties there,but probably not a good place for a wedding. It wouldn't be very private and you would probably have several party crashers. It would be a good place to have a small wedding or a party after the wedding if the size was fairly small. Best wishes.

Kathie Adkins | Oct 2, 2020

You have to rent a spot on the storage racks, which go quickly. They are not allowing people to leave boats along the edge of the water because it's bad for the foliage and wildlife.

Can I bring in my own wood? I have a wood stove at home so I have plenty of wood . If I didn’t need to pay for it I’d rather not

Debra Noble | Oct 3, 2019
summerbug65 | Oct 3, 2019

If you bring wood from less than a 50 mile radius, it is ok. You must inform the park office when bringing in wood. Most people go by the honor code, and it is checked. You must burn all wood brought in, or take it with you when you leave.

Debra Noble | Oct 3, 2019
Eloy Alicea-Alvira | Oct 3, 2019

For a stay all day it was about $8 For the car. It is a great place to go. Get there early if you are going swimming in the lake to get a good spot. The food at the shop is good but a little pricey. Bring you own food because they do have grills. I lived in that area for 16 years and this was the place to go every year.

Recently, I was swimming in the shallow peninsula area to the far right of beach. When we emerged from the water. We were COVERED in leech like creatures. They were only a few millimeters long and pale brown anyone know what they were?

Frederick Family Fun | Oct 3, 2018
Frederick Family Fun | Oct 3, 2018

After some research. It seems they were Planeria.. Odd because they are supposed to eat dead fish and other lake life. Not attach to humans, but I'm fairly certian that's what they were, looked identical.
