I love this place to launch my boat, although they do need to rebuild the dock and dredge the sand off the ramp.
Took a nice day to spend with family here. Nice little area without big crowds. Small Sandy Beach area for swimming, a dock and boat ramp if you prefer boating. 5.00 for a all day parking pass is not bad at all. They do have camping areas also if you want to spend the night away. Easy to find and very well taken care of. Also have several picnic tables and grills.
Ideal state forest spot with lots of camping and some RV spots available. 3 well maintained bath houses. Warm water. 9$/day/camp or 15 for RV.
This was the first time here plus it had been years since we had pitched a tent. We stayed on the primitive side of the campsites ( which meant we had no access to electricity but it was quite and very peaceful even though there was some campers with a generator down the road but it was a quite one so it didn't bother us Plus it helped drown out our chatting cause we where with friends we hadn't seen in a while.
The was a designated area for swimmers and a little beach area which was a very short walk from our campsite.
My husband was able to fish a little right at our campsite too.
Cost was so little I think $9.00 no check in time so no check out time which was extremely nice.
Bathroom was a short walk only one shower on women's side plus it took a minute to figure out how to get shower hot and how to keep water on longer.
I would suggest anyone looking to enjoy the outdoor to try out this place. We are going back in a few weeks.
Nice place. As a couple, I'd prefer more privacy, but it's workable. Great price. Quiet, and has hookups.
