A great place to camp and hike with family and friends with pristine woods, bodies of water, and land.

I went camping for 2 nights over a weekend with a couple of my friends. There were plenty of camp sites to choose from, though if you want one by the water then you'll need to book it in advance. There are bundles of wood available at the main office for $6/each if you want to have a camp fire. The place is kid friendly, I saw many kids of all ages playing and riding their bikes. That being said the camp grounds are also adult friendly. We stayed in the walk-in sites which had some good distance from others and as we stayed up late we didn't seem to bother anyone.

The park also has some great hikes. I'd recommend hiking up to the tower. Be careful because the maps which are provided are hard to follow and not always correct. We found ourselves lost at one point even after continuing to follow a marked pathway for which the symbols didn't change. Thankfully we ran into a kind hiker who knew the trails well. If you are unfamiliar with the park he suggested getting a guide book and taking any opportunity to review your planned hike with an official. Make sure you take extra water and food in case your hike is a few hours longer than intended. And leave early!
