What Guests Are Saying

North Park is praised for its beauty, cleanliness, and helpful staff, making it a great destination for family trips. However, concerns have been raised about the transition to a Day Use Park, safety issues due to open gates and lack of supervision, and the prevalence of sticker burrs. Some visitors feel the park's quality has declined in recent years, particularly regarding security and maintenance.

This place is beautiful and also has great water access. However, the reason why I’m rating it 2 stars is for the lack of accommodations. My husband and I had a campsite all the way in the back corner because the campground was “full”. Come to our surprise, it stayed empty the whole weekend. The reason the campground is empty is because scuba divers use the campground as a day pass and book up all the good sites 6 months in advance even though they don’t spend the night. It makes no sense.

Jeff the gentleman at the gate was my favorite part aside from the scenery. We will be back because of Jeff!
