We arrived on a mid-November weekday and had our choice of almost any site in the park. We chose 79 for it's sunny location. Date of visit: Nov 2007 |

|
There are two main camping loops; we were in the second loop with sites numbered from 66 to 129. This loop is more open and sunny than the first loop with sites 1-65. Here is site 97. |
|
|
Both loops have a few pull-through sites - here is 76 on the left. All sites have E/W hookups, and there is a dump station available.

An interesting feature of the park are the few Buddy Sites, comprised of 3 sites close together. These would be great for several families to share. |
|
|
The kids would have a great time riding their bikes around all the paved campground roads This shows sites 114 and 115 in the foreground with Buddy Sites 111-113 in the background. |
More of the pull-through sites, 67 and 66, with the Camp Store in the background. |
|
Site 44 shows the more wooded setting of sites in the first camping loop. |
|
The bathhouses here rank among the best we've ever seen. The showers are in individual rooms, and the entire building was amazingly clean. |
|
It was a gorgeous fall afternoon when we arrived, with a temperature of 75 degrees! We took a very pleasant walk through the woods down to a so-called beaver dam. |
|
Here's the dam. Somehow I'm not convinced that this is a genuine beaver dam. |
|
Fall colors were at their height. |
|
Beaver Lake. |
|
Not too far from the dam is this Civilian Conservation Corp museum. Unfortunately, it wasn't open when we were there.. |
