I'm glad I took the trip to visit the park. I took the walking trial, and it was so relaxing, quite, and what an energy booster . Lots of camping areas available.
Had a great time camping at such a beautiful park, lots of birds and wildlife, lits for all ages to do.
Outdoor parks with playground equipment, beautiful walking trails, plenty of campground spaces and a gorgeous view of the lake- what's not to like? Certain buildings can be rented out to use for hosting party events as well and there are a decent number of picnic tables. I happened to be on a field trip and thr students really enjoyed exploring the great outdoors. The trails are very private so we did not disturb any campers. At lunch we were able to treat them to cooked hotdogs and hamburgers right there on-site!
It's also worth mentioning that they have multiple outhouses scattered around the trails and while not fancy, they get the job done.

We stayed at the walk in tenting sites. They are large and right on the water, mostly private.
The park is a bird sanctuary, so you can watch and listen to all kinds of birds. This adds a peaceful and serene touch to the place.
The water is not suitable for swimming, but it makes a beautiful backdrop and you can watch birds and animals there.
I would love to give it a "4" for well maintained spaces, great private campsites, lovely small lake, hike and bike paths, free firewood, showers, clean amenities. Lots to do here!!!! But....be prepared to be surrounded by oversized RVs running generators all day!!! Past 11pm and well into 1 am as well. Maybe we just got unlucky with neighbours but judging by how many of them you can hear at a time....makes me think it's kinda a norm here. If there are rules like in other parks, they are not followed and no campground staff was visible to enforce any rules.
