We enjoyed our 7-night stay at this state park. We arrived on a Friday, and the campground was packed but given the lake views it was very pleasant. The park is located on three small islands in Lake Murray, and we entertained ourselves walking around admiring the blooming dogwood trees and getting different glimpses of this huge body of water. The one discordant note was that when we tried to reserve four nights the park's reservation system said we had to reserve for 7 nights...apparently because our arrival fell during what was considered 'spring break.' However, the campground was virtually deserted starting the Monday after our arrival. We chatted with some another couple who were disappointed by the same requirement (they also paid for seven nights but were leaving after five and also lamented the wasted cost given the mid-week emptiness). We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place should be called Wildlife Park - or at least Deer Island. Wonderful lake front sites, and we saw deer, Canadian geese, buzzards, and even an eagle. CG would be perfect if you had a boat (and the weather was warmer than January). The only real reason for the 7 was the sites are tiny, and some are hard to back in (you got to know your neighbors real quick, as everybody was always helping to direct new comers around the trees). The water and electric hookups are far from pads, and though the pads are paved, the rest of the site is not very level - but it's a state park, and you're on the lake so that doesn't really matter. Would stay here again (but would pick a warmer month). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This state park is gorgeous! We camped on the banks of Lake Murray. The area is very wooded and natural. The park has two areas to camp - A and B. From a review we chose B and it's the better of the two in my opinion. The roads are paved and good for walking and/or bicycling. We will certainly do a return trip here.
