Lovely park on Fort Mountain. Twisty roads to get up to the park and into the campground but doable, even with big rigs.

Lovely park on Fort Mountain. Twisty roads to get up to the park and into the campground but doable, even with big rigs. We stayed on the Lakeside Loop and the inner roads are tight and narrow but again, doable. The sites themselves are level and in good shape, many on the lakeside are better suited for tents and smaller rigs. The sites on the Creekside are nice as well, many pull-throughs which seem to be better for larger rigs. There are many lovely trails from the campground that can get you up to the CCC tower and lookout as well as an easy trail around the lake. Mountain bike trails are tough, steep grades. No cell service but enough to text from the site. If you drive to the top of the mountain the service is better. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Very quiet during the week with more folks coming in for Easter weekend, but still very quiet and peaceful.

We enjoyed our first stay at Fort Mt. State Park very much. Our site was lakeside which can’t be beat. It was colder than expected so we didn’t go kayaking but we did some good hiking. The campground is well maintained. The girls working the shop are super nice. Shout out to Chrissy and her good service. The road is curvy but manageable. We have a 35 ft. class A with a Jeep. Our site could use some more gravel. It was a little bare. The WiFi was down due to maintenance and there is absolutely no cell service. It was ok for the short period we were there. We look forward to going back.

Although the roads were windy, they were doable (truck with 28 foot trailer. The sites are nicely spaced and private. The bathhouse and laundry were clean. The trails around the park were great too, we spent two days doing various routes around the park. The nearest town is about 15 minutes down the hill but has everything. The downside, if you want to call it that, was zero service at our site. We could get enough to check messages at other places within the park though. Overall, A great little state park.

This campground has the most steep hills of any we have seen. Our site, #38, was at the top, It was downhill and then back up another hill to the comfort station. A reasonable downhill walk to the lake and the surrounding trail. The very steep nature trail near the dam is a challenge. Other attractions and trails require driving to get there. There were some well spaced, level sites near the lake, but most sites are crowded together.

Well kept campgrounds and equipment. Lots of hiking and mountain bike trails. Great scenic views at the overlook, and a clean lake. Not much in the way of fish though, but a nice place to kayak.

Stayed 5 nights at site 62. Lake view was awesome as it’s winter and leaves are almost all gone. Trails were amazing, saw a lot of creeks and mini waterfalls. The rock wall was cool as with the tower also. Saw a juvenile black bear sleeping in a tree on the big rock trail. Road to the park is kinda steep but nothing crazy. Take your time there are a few pull over spots to allow traffic to pass if needed. Campground was pretty empty while we were there. Only about 10 other campers around.
