I have never seen cleaner restrooms at a state park. Deer everywhere. Beach area well maintained. Campsites are crowded.

Ok this place was the nicest state park I have ever stayed at. We were there on a Saturday night in July and everyone was respectful. There was free popcorn and a movie. The DNR rangers brought us change without us asking. Santa Claus came around in a golf cart. The bathrooms were very clean and the showers were nice too. The fire rings were the most elaborate I have ever used with swinging grates at two levels. There was a host campsite where you could buy wood. Even the recycling and garbage area was clean and tidy and didn’t smell. We didn’t swim but the beach looked nice. Definitely would recommend.

Very nice campsite, more than affordable tent camping! Super clean restrooms and showers. Great fire rings with grates. We went in May of 2021 - there were tons of RVs but hardly any tent campers, so very peaceful for us.

Only spent a night but this State Park is the best we have stayed at yet. Clean grounds and shower/restrooms. Great hiking trails and super level sites even for a 35' fifth wheel still connected to the truck.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I stayed there two weeks ago, drove up on a Sunday evening and there were plenty of open spots. We got one with electric hook ups and I think it was $13. If I'm remembering correctly , a basic site was $11. Nice park.
