We dropped our kayaks in at the campground which is allowed, then parked our trailer by the office. The pond is very quiet unless you go by the beach, but even then it’s quite pleasant. Lots of wildlife to see along the edge of the woods, fish to catch and water smooth as glass to paddle on. There are probably easier drop in sites if you don’t have a trailer. Great paddling and not busy.
We went recently for a ladies camping weekend. The park is very nice, it’s a great place for families looking to have some relaxing time away from a busy life.
The park is set up to be more like a community base setting. Every one is friendly and is happy to help with whatever questions you have.
What I really love about this park was the hiking/biking trails. No matter what path you take for biking or hiking it leads right back into the park. Therefore you can never get lost in the woods. Another thing I did like was where the facility is located. It’s like a light house to guide you back to your street.
The website said no pets but it seem as if no one is going by that rule.
I don’t mind people having their pets but when you go to the facility and find a dog in the baby changing table, that clearly violates the rule. I can’t imagine being a parent and being my child to use the facility and lay the child in the same area someone had their dog laying.
Other than that it’s a great place to go camping.
We stayed in a 2 room log cabin. Great location with 2 porta bathrooms behind it for the campground. Flush/showers on the other loop. The cabin was clean with electric. Can sleep 6 but would be highly uncomfortable in my opinion. 2 bunks in the backroom and a full with a small table in the front. Total size of the cabin was 10×17. The fire pit was placed to far back on the site. Well done but 15 feet up would give you more privacy from the site directly behind. We enjoyed our stay and the cabin. Not many trails(3 miles) but other hiking is nearby. A nice beach is there. The staff deserves a hand for running the park well.
Hands down one of my favorite parks. Extremely well-kept, clean, large enough for everyone to enjoy. Relaxing, swimming, walking/hiking, golf, ball, dog walking…it’s perfect. Grills available for picnics, plenty of picnic tables, a lovely gazebo. Restrooms are available and handicap accessible. Ample parking, several lots.
Awesome place to bring my dog; really nice facilities, big wide trails, and the scenery is, of course, just gorgeous. Pack a rod, the fishing looks good, too
