My husband and I had a fantastic time at this campground. The campsites were spacious and the bathrooms were excellent. The trails around the park were great and Sugarloaf Mountain was a fun hike. I cannot say enough good things about John F. Kennedy campground.

Very nice park and great for fishing. The campsites are spaced out and it's very quiet. Will be back!
