Very thankful for this park and all the clearing. We weren't able to have a fire but I did not know it. The Park Ranger told me to put my fire out and I did. He was very professional and polite; I think he realized I did not know we were in a burn ban. Love this little park. Thankful for all who keep it nice for us to enjoy!

We go here every April for crappie fishing and it is always a pleasant experience. The campsites are nice and campers are very friendly.

The park is great for camping and the crappie fishing this year was really good. The bath house was very clean - they did a great job! Only complaint was the trash dumpster - it was overflowing, didn’t get emptied and the smell was awful.
