We really enjoyed our visit! This is one of the cleanest state parks I've ever stayed at! There was plenty to do with mini golf, playgrounds and visiting the store. There was some noise from the main road, but it was quiet in the evenings. The camp host was so kind to the kids! They looked for him every time we walked around. The sites are nice, but I would recommend staying in a tent site if you're sleeping in a tent. We had a full hookup site so we could stay next to family. But the ground was pretty hard and had a lot of roots. I don't know if we'll pass through the area again, but it was a very nice weekend. I highly recommend it.

Stayed here for a few weeks. Overall extremely good for general camping. Dump station kind of awkward and the bathouse water smells like river scum but otherwise great place.

Stayed here for a night on the way to Ohio. The park is easy to get into and navigate. The laundry room has 2 washers and dryers and are fairly large. The campground is a decent size and nice to walk around. There is a mini golf course in the park. We really enjoyed this campground and would come back.
