maybe one of the most disappointing parks we have been to, but still a great value and views. The address listed is for the main office not the CG. Told them and got a I don't control that. Well, dirt, mud, rain was not good. Then we didn't know most site did not have water, maybe my bad but. No host, had to find water after parking. People that use this area are not the best care takers. we had Garbage, yes, Garbage in our firepit. It was cleaned out after a phone call, but there were even signs warning of vandalism. Overall, after the initial errrr, nice park, Alma is a nice little town close by. **The water side site have no Water. The inter loop has WES.

The campsites were big enough that even though there was someone next to you, it did not bother you. I went in the middle of the week, so there were no people out late, and no one was making noise. Most of the people there were either passing through or camping there to fish early in the morning. My site had great access to the lake, and it made skinny dipping in the lake really easy. If I ever am passing through this part of the county I will for sure make sure to stop by again

Wonderful state park, just be prepared for mosquitoes, flies, etc. as you are next to a lake. Facilities are clean and all personnel were very friendly and helpful.
