June 5 closed early summer by tim_x

All restrooms are being redone will have all new restrooms.

July 13 Great park for kids by Armyengr

Camped here 5-9 July 2011, 4 adults, 2 children. This is a great place for kids--shallow sandy beach, playground and bike paths. However, I like a bit of privacy when camping and all the sites here are right on top of each other,you are always 20 ft. or so from your neighbors with little to separate you-very crowded. Washrooms are pretty decent for a state park.

April 7 My favorite
