Beautiful place! Different amenities are available. There are hike trails if you like hiking. There's a camping area for RVs. They have small cabins to rent if you want to stay, and when the weather is warm, like summertime, you can get in the lake in their swim beach area. If you have a boat, you can access the lake to fish or fun. Great place to walk your furbaby and so many things to choose from. It's always great to do a grill out and have a nice picnic with family.
Enjoyed our stay here, it is a lovely campground with beautiful views. We were on lot 70 and we had views on three sides. Would say that 71 may be slightly better as you would not have anyone in front of you. If you don’t mind direct sun, 69 would be the primo spot with awesome views from a high vantage point. Would def stay here again. Tons of positives, only negatives are not having sewer hookups and public access to lake can get busy on weekends and sometimes can be a little bit rowdy. I will say law enforcement was visible with frequent ride through during busy times. Water pressure was very strong & we added a flow regulator while we were here. Picnic tables grills and fire rings in good repair. Some fire rings also had grill grates that could be turned over the fire. Very well maintained grounds with lots of lush trees and grass. Enjoyed watching the geese. If you can, take the time to visit Haneys Appledale Farm a few minutes towards Nancy for fresh veggies or bakery items.
The campground and hiking area was clean, well maintained and had good parking at the trailhead. I appreciated the many outhouses and restrooms that were available to visitors. The trails were well maintained and clearly marked. I recommend this to any skill level hiker.
I’ve been coming here my whole life. My family and I have many great memories together here. From family reunions, swimming, grilling food, camping, riding boats and golf carts. But It’s changed so much over the years. I don’t think locals can even swim here anymore without paying. Our taxes pay for the park. I could be wrong but that’s what I’m hearing and seeing on the signs they’ve put up. I’ll update my review accordingly.
Went to Pulaski County Park today since I have never been to do a little hiking. I did the small 1 mile loop from the easy trail going to the Cain's Bridge and back on the Raven's Trail which is part of the advanced trail. The views are amazing and on the way back to the parking lot on the Raven's Trail came across a small group of 3 to 4 deer about 20 yards from the trail. They didn't run off and just kept eating and walking so you know they are used to seeing humans but with that said they are still wild animals which means they are dangerous. The full hike of the whole loop of the trails is 8.34 miles round trip from starting in the parking lot to ending in the parking lot. The trails are all marked but be careful because there are some false trails that lead off and if not careful you can get off the trail and lost quick. I highly suggest PC Park if your looking for a great place to take a stroll in the woods.
