Came back here after a ten year gap, and was less in love with it, have to say. Nice sites, many with tent platforms, but the water is so still it does make the campground somewhat buggy. Also. The poison ivy is out of control. Y’all need to hire some goats real quick because it’s bad. That said if you’re going I would suggest the water side sites on the east side of the pond. You get sunset that way, and on the other side morning sun is too intense.
camped fri pm n sat pm. home sun. Great time as usual. few good trails all near site 38 I believe.. not lakeside other side. still private plenty parking.
Down pouring rain on our weekend camping trip. Still made the best out of the trip. Heated restrooms made up for the cold wet weekend.
This is a nice place to stargaze. Little light pollution. You don't have to drive inside the campsite. Park outside the campside and you will have a good sight. It might be much cooler up the hill so you may want to prepare some warmkeeping clothes. Stay careful about the little insects: they could be annoying.
We were two families on Father’s Day weekend. The big cons for this place were (1) a lot of overgrowth on paths and sites (2) no showers and (3) no playground for the kids. Pros though are (1) a variety of site sizes and types to pick from (2) sites are more private than Other state parks we have been to and (3) a lot of trails. Our two families wound up sharing one site even though we had two bc site 21 was extremely overgrown and quite small. Almost the whole site had grass up to our knees. We all stayed on site 22 and had enough space though. Site 22 was supposed to have a path down to the lake but that was too overgrown and muddy also. The staff at sawmill were great. Helpful with tips on where to hike with the kids. There was a playground near the monument trails.
