Danielle and Mark - We found this campground on the state park Web site, and we tent camp there at different times of year.

Campground Review

I think this is a great campground because the lakes, wildlife reserves, hiking trails, and beach offer such a varied experience at the park. If you don't have a boat or canoe, you can rent one for a low price. For fishing there are two lakes, one cold water and one warmer water for an excellent time for any avid fisherman. The hiking trails are some of the best and most beautiful trails. Everyone must at least once hike the Falls Trail, if able, it's breathtaking. For kids there are fun environmental programs and activities that they can enjoy and learn and not even realize it. In short, there is something for everyone. The night skies aren't too shabby either.
