We had such an amazing time camping with the family here! The kids got to fish, swim, and hike. While we were swimming my oldest daughter took it upon her self to pick up trash on the beach,it wasnt a trashed beach just some trash here and there, but being a girl scout we always leave a place better than we found it. Loved walking the trail, it had beautiful views and got to identify different plants and wild life. We saw lots of deer. We will definitely be back. The staff is very nice and friendly!

Our campsite had plenty of shade and a great view of the lake. Access to the water was very difficult though. Fishing from this site meant navigating the large and some loose rocks. We will try a different site next time. The park is clean and the staff was great.

Beautiful park, love that they have full hook up 50 Amp sites. The little beach is perfect for the kids. Can fish all along the bank without having a license. $5 per person fee or get a pass. Will visit again.

Beautiful lake! Already planning another visit to bring the kids with us! Did some cliff jumping, swimming and shore side fishing. I caught four fish one after another with zero bait! Our campsite was right on the shore and we had access to a nice cove to park our boat overnight. Can't wait to come back!

I was told only one car was allowed is that true? Usually you're allowed to cars per campsite

Sherie Wyatt | Jun 30, 2018
Karen Clary | Jul 1, 2018

I guess it would depend on the cars. I would give them a call. It may be that only one car is included in your entrance fee and that you would have to pay another fee for an additional car.

how many people can we usually bring?

25kelm harli | May 30, 2022
Austin Litman (AKLitman) | May 31, 2022

The question requires context. If it's day use, no limit because each person pays a fee. For a campsite, 8 is usually the limit. However, you can reserve multiple campsites if friends want to join. So. It depends.

ignacio melgar | Jun 29, 2021
Luanne Sibley | Jun 30, 2021

You will need to make a reservation. Weekdays are easier than weekends. Look up the map of the park on TPW and pick a site you might like. Our favorite was 102 or 103. I suggest purchasing a Park Pass before going, if you think you might go camping more than a couple of times. Our pass has already paid for itself!
