Huntington State Park

We stayed here one night mid May and liked it a lot. We were near the lake which was great. There is grass and some shade and there is a road around the lake (about 4 miles) that’s great for walking the dog. I would not want to stay a week here but it’s nice for just a quick night.

We are headed from here to do some camping without services, so we wanted to be sure to have electric and water for these two nights. This is a well kept up and clean campground. There is lots of space, grass for the dogs, we are right on the waterfront, a nice picnic table with a fire pit beside it, a flat paved pad -- we can't really think of anything to criticize. Huntington has a very basic grocery store, and we were able to pick up some supplies. It's the start of a beautiful scenic drive, so we spent the day photographing and hiking. We took the dogs on a really nice hike/walk at the Huntington Forks Trail (which is out of the Huntington Forks Campground). There are tons of dry campgrounds along the scenic route (Rt 31 between Huntington and Fairview). There's a National Historic Site (a CCC-build ranger cabin) which was closed after Labor Day, and we stopped at the Mammoth site. There's a walk around the lake at the Huntington State Park, and swimming earlier in the season...so in general there is a lot to do around here for such a small town. On our first night, the wind rocked the trailer continuously, but on our second night it had died down. All in all, this was a very pleasant place to stay and worth coming to for a couple of days. It was nearly deserted in mid-October, but might be busy in the summer.
