Great place to stay! We loved that the campsites are large and mostly private. Unfortunately, the bathrooms right across from our site were out of order but it wasn’t a long trek to get to the next ones. Wish quiet hours were enforced as we listened to people have loud fun until the wee hours of the morning. We ran out of firewood but our camp hosts were great. Glad we could buy some from them for $5 a bundle. There aren’t really any hiking trails. They have some good trails for biking but the only places to walk are the campsite loops and a loop around the lake which is poorly maintained (mostly paved but incredibly uneven due to uprooted trees and old age). Over all, we had a great time and will definitely return.

My wife and I have camped at this park since 2004. The campground has never been in better condition. It is the cleanest National Park we've ever visited. The restrooms are spotless and the shower has hot water. The sites are clean in in excellent repair, the trails are clear of debris and leaf litter and the bridges and board walk are safe to use. The staff are helpful and attentive without being intrusive on the campers.
This is an exemplary campground operation!

My wife and I were hiking the Lone Star Trail and planned an overnight at the park. Additionally, I parked my truck in the park in advance and hiked to the park. We found the husband and wife hosts very accommodating, very friendly, full of information, and very service oriented. The entire park was clean, well groomed, and filled with all the amenities we wanted. Since we were thru-hiking we did not get to spend as much time as we would have liked enjoying the beauty of the park, but we will return!
