Buhl park and Kidds Mill covered bridge and trails are a must. Would like to see updated bathrooms and showers in the Old Duck loop in the campground.

Campground very nice. But had to areas that could be approve on. First individual moving ran down the gravel road with opening face myself and tent. I could have been hit plus it blew dirt and dust into my tent. Second both near by restrooms ran out of toilet paper. This is totally unacceptable.

Lovely park, nice people.
There should be something in your listing on Recreation.gov about the grade of the sites. I had to use 4 wheel drive to get into site 205 and dragged the rear of the unit as well as the stabilizer bars on the hitch. I also had to raise the trailer tongue to a height of 27 inches to level the unit. The site surface was such coarse gravel that it made it extremely difficult for me to walk since I need a stand up walker to get around. We wound up moving to another site, 80, for the second week of our stay so I could walk in the site without worrying about falling.
As a matter of fact, most of the sites surfaces in the park have up to 2 inch diameter rocks for surface.

Take Exit 4B (formerly Exit 1) off I-80 and follow Route 18 north about 6 miles until you cross the lake's causeway. The park is on the left, but this is a divided highway. Continue north about 1/4 mile, take the Birchwood Drive exit, make the turn-around and go south on Route 18. Before you cross the causeway again, make a right onto West Lake Road and travel approximately 1/4 mile to the park entrance on the left.
