We enjoy the nice hiking trails throughout the park, both paved and primitive. Staff is excellent and the park is always very clean and well kept. Recommendations -Buzzards Pizza and Cilantro's in Lyndon -both quite good!

Very clean park. Enjoyed this park for several years. Only problem is getting a spot. Have to make reservations a year in advance. Also people reserved reservations on weekends only and those of us that are retired don’t get the full two weeks to camp

Make sure to use water pressure gauge, our spot had very high water pressure. Beautiful area though, needs mowed a bit more often we noticed this Summer.
