This place has a lot to do. From paved bike trails, hiking, a nice big beach for swimming. If you fish or boat, there is plenty of room.

This place has a lot to do. From paved bike trails, hiking, a nice big beach for swimming. If you fish or boat, there is plenty of room. The website (reserve America) has great details on the lots, there are no real pull through lots “or at least none we seen “ but read the site details and you will find the perfect spot. We had partial sun in morning and just the right amount of shade the rest of day. There was wild life from eagles, deer, and yes skunks(they would walk their paths and didn’t both us any, even though they walked right behind us).
Lots of bathhouses with tile showers cleaned daily. This camp ground obviously gets busy on weekends, we checked in on Wednesday and it was a private oasis, and enjoyed the parade when people made it in Friday afternoon. There was plenty of places to get water, as well as a designated spot. And a big dump site with four separate stations and lots of room for big rv’s to turn around.
Be sure to plan to stay a while as there is lots to do in the park and a winery just outside the park. We really had a great time and will definitely be back.

Check in wasn’t easy. Filling up with water was easy with the dedicated water filling stations (or just duck into a vacant site). Water was located within a reasonable distance to site. Two distinct types of sites. Field camping and woods camping. We choose the wooded side and it was very nice. Bath hoses were clean and the lake/beach ... more
Check in wasn’t easy. Filling up with water was easy with the dedicated water filling stations (or just duck into a vacant site). Water was located within a reasonable distance to site. Two distinct types of sites. Field camping and woods camping. We choose the wooded side and it was very nice. Bath hoses were clean and the lake/beach was a nice treat for the kids. Will stay again, but with better water Tote planning!

Stayed two nights in the Fisherman’s Campground, which is ideal for smaller rigs that don’t need hookups or shower facilities. There’s an even larger Modern Campground if you need the extras. Fisherman’s is $12.84/night, not including the nine bucks you pay for park entry. Potable water is plentiful, staff is very friendly and helpful.... more
Stayed two nights in the Fisherman’s Campground, which is ideal for smaller rigs that don’t need hookups or shower facilities. There’s an even larger Modern Campground if you need the extras. Fisherman’s is $12.84/night, not including the nine bucks you pay for park entry. Potable water is plentiful, staff is very friendly and helpful. Not many sites are truly level and during peak season, it might feel crowded, but I basically had the place to myself and enjoyed it. There’s a nature center and several trails within walking distance.
The beach was closed.
The park is very quiet, but on the second night, some party on the property adjacent to the park was blaring Matchbox 20 late into the evening. 🤷🏻♀️
