August 31 I question the management of this park.. by Forest Eyes.
This is a beautiful piece of land. There are park rules. There should be a lifeguard at a public swimming area. Why are there signs saying no life guard on duty
July 24 My go to place by Crystal Randall
I have been coming here for over 30 years. I went as a child with my family , to bringing my own little family. This place is perfect in everyway. We absolutely love it here. Only downfall is you can only go a total of 14 days out of the season. I understand I guess we have to share. See you soon my second trip of the season is coming up 12 days straight.. in heaven.
October 5 Great Bicycle trails, but signage poor by Woods Lover
Great Bicycle trails, but signage is very poor. Maps I believe are only available at the forest headquarters and there are a number of public road entrances to the reservation. You possibly could get lost unless you have a good sense of direction. Do your homework before you go! - AND be sure to check the dates for hunting season. If I remember correctly hunting is not allowed on Sundays!
September 7 Not very private by Kristan
The first night we arrived we were all over the place trying to figure out how to get to the check in. the site we obtained was right on top of other campers, not even a little coverage to separate the sites. We managed to be moved to a new section of the park the next day and just found trying to get around the park discouraging. It is not disabled friendly as noted by no parking signs near a very long walk to a beach. For far too much money you could get a bundle of wood that contained 6 split pieces. Enough was enough and we left after the second night and checked into a hotel. It is, by far, the worse experience for camping we have ever had.
February 2 Great place to fish by Thugger
Caught the biggest Bass of my life here 7 years ago! Will not give out pond name though!! Will send you to pursue an untamed ornathoid without cause!
June 29 Gorgeous place to bike by Vcoffey
Wow! What a great state park! This unique pine barrens ecology is full of birds and squirrels; smells like pine, and the camping spaces are flat and sandy and partly shaded. There are miles and miles of beautiful trails for biking, paved and unpaved, as well as equestrian trails and campsites. The bike paths are often pine-needle covered, and are mostly flat with some gentle rises. Some spectacular parts of the trails are lined with pines on both sides with a view of one of the ponds in the distance. There is nothing like biking to a pond for a dip! There are several ponds with designated swim areas. Great for kids. Campers spoke of being serenaded (and kept awake) by a whippoorwhil, who sang his heart out all night, but moved around the forest so at least his calls got distant at times. During the day I identified an Eastern Towhee, a bird I had never seen or heard before. Really want to bring my 12-year-old son back here for more biking.
