This park isn't fancy, but it is fantastic for getting away from the city on the cheap. The sky is dark enough for milky way shots right from your campaigning lot. And it's less than half an hour drive from the best dark skies in the South East. There is plenty of nature and wildlife to photograph. And plenty of typical lake activities as well (boating, skiing, swimming, fishing). And they have better than expected local area shopping and medical. It really is fantastic!

A very nice small campground, recreation area, and boat ramp. There are gendered bathrooms and a hand pump for water. It's also in a low Bortle zone so astrophotography options are good. Particularly for DSO.
