Nice campground in a gorgeous state park

Spacious spaces, open view but with plenty of tree canopy. Never a long walk to the bathroom - showers are fine. Not luxurious, but quite sufficient. What we love the best is the beauty of the park and all the animals you see (or hear) there.

We stayed here in a Popup Trailer.
