Loved the peace and tranquility. The lakes and trails and large camp lots. So much more of a true camping experience not bring piled one on top of each other.

The facilities were very clean when we stayed for the Eclipse. The campground itself was not very busy either, which surprised us, but it made the experience even better than we could have asked for. The site we tent camped at had water, electricity, a picnic table, and a fire ring that had its own swivel cooking grate attached that we used for one of our camp meals (fajita tacos cooked in aluminum foil packs). The hot water in the shower house runs out quick if everyone in the campground is trying to take a shower back to back, but that was the only downside that we could think of - though if you plan ahead it's easily avoided. The shower house also had a handicap shower with a bench seat, which was good to see! The lake was wonderful, and the trails are well maintained. There are some tables and benches around the campground/park that show their age in terms of the uncovered wood that is constantly exposed to the elements, but it was obvious that the staff does well to keep them maintained as we saw several fresh boards that had been recently replaced to keep the tables and benches usable and in working order. The staff were very nice and easy to talk to during the stay, and they made several rounds a day driving through the campground to check on things like the bath-house facilities. I would definitely come back to this location again based on the experience that we had for our trip to see the eclipse.

Very nice park. Campsites we’re spread apart and the wooded setting is always a plus. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Loved the trails and the pond. The camping section could use an upgrade to the playground but our grandkids had a good time there anyway. Planning to return in the future.

Wonderful weekend with many RESPECTFUL campers. We have camped her for the last 3 years and have had some unfavorable experiences. Glad to see this hidden gem being “cleaned up”! Good job Vigo county.

Love the park. Great camping overall. Very limited hot water in showers made for a cold shower or a cold weekend. Shower experience lacking in general without hooks to hang items and/or bench in stall. Men’s bathhouse didn’t even have doors on shower stalls. Great camping spot if you can skip the showers.
