We stayed for 9 nights, 5 in sure 74 which was awesome and another 4 in site 14 which required a bit more setup for our 31’ MH. We had to split our stay due to weekend availability of site 74, the folks that reserved it did not show or cancel. Dumpstation was easily accessible without blocking traffic, but water tank refill held up traffic. Campground was quiet, we really enjoyed the trees and a small beach yo stare across the lake.

Good location, easy access to Little town, but I don’t like the idea of camping in someone’s backyard. Our campsite backed up to Homes and their backyard. In fact a lot of them did.

The host is super professional and friendly to people. We found a clean campsite and a clean bathroom.
He was always present at the site to address any questions or emergencies involving bears and other wildlife.

We had a wonderful stay at William Kent State Park. The campground hosts were extremely helpful and professional—always available if needed, but never intrusive. The grounds wervery quiet and clean, which made for a relaxing visit. Facilities were well-maintained and in great condition. Overall, it was an excellent camping experience, thanks in large part to the host’s care and attention.
