Lovely camping area with swimming and easy to moderate walking & hiking trails accessible by foot. Bathrooms/shower facilities have recently been updated and were well-cleaned. Excellent base camp for those interested in trying the nearby Devil's Marbleyard hike/scramble or visiting the Natural Bridge.

The campsite I chose was spectacular. It had plenty of shade and was very clean. The park's common areas were also spotless. I really loved this park!

Wonderful, peaceful little spot! I have been coming my whole lifetime- first with grandparents, then my children, and now my grandchildren! Saw salamanders, crawdads, and otters!

Delightful campground! Lovely to be close to the lake. Very family and dog friendly site.

There is no camp store, but the nearby towns have plenty of supplies and nice little restaurants. Also as others have pointed out, the bathroom is a bit far.

Great campground - site 35 is perfect for tents with beautiful nature views on 3 sides and close to bathroom and water.
We liked the extra-large picnic table, prep table and 2 lantern poles perfect for hanging a laundry line for towels. Bath and shower facilities were nice and clean. No firewood available at the campground but there are several places to purchase just down the road. My kids loved swimming in the lake. We had a great stay!!

This campground was so quiet. Our spot was perfect. The bathhouse was clean and private. The lake was nice. We did come on the same day as the kids fishing, but it all worked out.

It was beyond amazing! We were on site 18, and the water running through our site, my kids loved. It was very quiet, comfy and relaxing. We had a deer that kept coming up to our site, she was beautiful. We named her Tammy. The people were so friendly. The lake they have to swim in is incredible. We all had such a good time. The bathroom was very clean and the showers were grrat, love that hot water!
