I tent camped there in July 2008.

Describe your camping trip:

It is the closest state recreation area to where I live.
Pros: A beach was right on the campground, and it was away from the road so you didn't hear traffic whizzing by.

Cons: Very limited shade, loud city-slickers (radios loud up to the minute of quiet time), very little privacy, a heavy DNR/Police presence, a drive by every hour, way to much.
Nearby attractions:
Further comments: I've seen worse, but not much worse.

"I made our reservations and advised the ofc that we had a 30 ft camper and she clearly stated that the site we chose would be fine. When we arrived, there was no way our trailer would have fit, there was a huge hole, and there was no outlet available for 30 amp. I returned to the ofc (2 mins laters) to explain that our camper would not fit, and we were able to switch sites; however, we were charged $5. The sites are mainly dirt and are not level, they do however have some cement sites. The other negative we experienced over the weekend was that the showers did not have hot water. We normally take showers in our camper, however, they do not provide water hookups. The bugs were awful."
