Beautiful, spacious sites, all water/electric/50 amp. (except for separate tent area). Nice mini golf area, pool with water slide. Fort was disappointing and expensive to visit. One of the best campgrounds we have ever stayed at! Noise round the clock from a nearby quarry was the only downfall. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed one night in this state park. Overall this is park is well equipped and up to date. The bathhouses were clean and in good repair. The park was clean and the sites were for the most part level. The one we had was paved. However, the tenting area was one of the best I have ever seen. There were no hookups in the tent area. But, there was an abundance of trees for shade. This park had all the bells and whistles one could want. I saw 4-5 playground areas for small kids. They had tennis courts, putt-putt, horseshoe pits, an activity center stocked with games, a pool, and a nice old fort near by, laundry facilities, volleyball, and more. It also lies near some river with a boat launch. This state park has a reservations system. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Satellite reception is excellent if you have the right spot. Some spots are blocked by the trees. Roads and sites are paved. Restrooms/showers were clean. We will stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is down in a bottom making satellite reception next to impossible. Swimming pool was a healthy walk from the camping area and some sites we noticed were terribly unlevel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was quite a nice place on very historic grounds. Being a history freak, this is high on the appeal level. On the negative side, it's right behind a quarry and, if you're in camp during the day the beep beep of the loaders could be annoying. They do shut down at night. The other negative is the water outlets can be a very long way from some of the sites. Mine was a full 75' away, but we dealt with it. Plus was the friendly atmosphere, nice sites, fairly clean for a heavily used spot, bathrooms and showers were in good shape through out the stay. They do have a huge pool with a water slide. The original and the reconstructed fort are on the grounds. Power was near at hand. I'd go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites were very small, many vehicles could not fit in site. Ranger was a little over bearing. Sewage treatment plant located in middle of park. Could not smell anything though. Pool is extra charge. My site was very dirty with garbage laying around. Only good thing to say was restrooms very clean and the most water pressure I have ever experienced in a shower. Almost painful!!! We camped here in a Tent.
