Campfire and story time

November 9 A really good experience by Phillip W

We spent the weekend in the group camping area with our Royal Rangers outposts and had a great time. We were very pleased with the staff, the upkeep and improvements. I personally have been visiting the park for over 30 years and it just keeps getting better.

This is a Fantasic small State Park. As with all state parks, it has what you would expect! Decent faciliities, friendly rangers, well marked etc. This was a hidden jewel when we found it in 2004. We camped and had our Thanksgiving here. We had a great time, and have some wonderful memories and pictures. We will be doing it again this year as well !
