I stayed here for the first time. I loved it. Me and my family had a great stay. Clean bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff. They sell firewood and ICE until 10 pm. Many local places close earlier, so it's a nice option.
We were surprisingly pleased with this park. We knew it was on a main road across from the fairgrounds in Harrison. We also knew the fair was going on but still booked for one night on our way to our main destination. Although there was some noise from the fair, it wasn’t bad at all. The park was clean with beautiful new bathrooms and a very friendly staff. We did not swim in the lake but walked down to the swim area. It looked very clean and inviting. There was an area that had a basketball court, volleyball net, corn hole and ladder ball. The best part was they had all of the balls and equipment available for campers to use. It was right there without having to go check it out somewhere. We would come back to this park for sure. It was small but a great place to call hime for a night or weekend.
Wonderful state park! Tucked away in the middle of the mitten on beautiful Budd Lake. Wilson state park has a lot to offer. Very nice playgrounds for both small children and adults. Nice beach with a beautiful pavilion along with restrooms. Foot path along the lake shore takes you from one end to the other of the park. Park grounds are very spacious, great for a nice walk or bike ride.
