Camped for one night here recently and enjoyed it. I knew this place well and was out there all the time 20 years ago. Lots of changes and stuff being shut down.....no different from most other public parks with old infrastructure.....never enough money to keep things up. No more water park, primitive camping loop closed, camper's swimming beach/bathroom closed and grown up, the other swimming beach closed and grown up.....no more swimming beaches on the lake. The last picnic shelter on the point is closed and the whole point is closed to even walking! That was the coolest land mass in the park IMO.

There is apparently a strict 10 pm lockdown time where you aren't supposed to enter/leave the park. The rangers were very nice and informative and could be seen patrolling the park regularly while we were there. The bathroom nearest our site was fully functional and very clean! Much appreciated! Was very quiet and peaceful which was nice. My tent got sprayed by a cat while I was gone and was almost unbearable to sleep in.

All in all, it's a pretty good place to camp and the woods are beautiful there. Grounds appear to be well kept and the staff seems to care about the place. I'd go back again
