Really nice nature area. A picnic shelter capable of handling a large group and lots of smaller picnic areas along the Lumber River.

This park is beautiful and peaceful—but don’t forget the bug spray, unless you want to donate a pint of blood to the mosquitoes.
We started our hike by the river, where the path was clear, but eventually it got overgrown and a few trees were down. At one point, we must’ve taken a wrong turn because we ended up weaving through cypress trees like it was some kind of obstacle course.
The park has a picnic area, fishing, and camping. It’s clean, quiet, and not very crowded. Perfect for kids or for anyone who wants a peaceful day outdoors (mosquitoes included).

It is jurassic Park. Beutiful, seems forgotten. The visitor center is nice. The park. Facilities are not being used much. I'm not a fan of blackwater, I'm afraid of gators! It is real swampy. The trees are HUGE. This place is real southern. Big trees with moss. For me, I would never stay over nite but I strongly suggest you see it.

Our stay at the PA Overflow campsite in Lumber River State Park was great. The campsite was well-managed, and the rangers gave us a pleasant and polite welcome.
The close access to water and bathrooms was convenient, and we appreciated the plenty of seating with picnic tables and a barbeque grill. A huge plus was the large open area perfect for kids to play soccer, volleyball, and frisbee.
While we didn't try the water activities, they seemed popular. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely come back and recommend it to others!

The bathrooms were out of order showers were out of order yet they still wanted to charge the 20 bucks to camp their primitive camping. It just seemed like nobody had taken care of the place in a little while and they just wanted to collect money and not bother with the maintenance or upkeep

Great Trails to Hike, this very rural state park offers numerous campsites & well maintained facilities and picnic areas. You will see so many beautiful views of the winding lumber river and NC wetlands.

So today I'm parked in the shade... Just me and our 5 dogs. We were parked as we do almost daily and never more than 30 minutes. Not in a marked parking spot, not on the grass or dirt. We were not blocking any access nor roadway and this young ranger on a power trip besides to check me out which is fine and he says what you doing checking out the water and I reply yeah he says okay well I don't want you parking here too long. Who the heck is he to decide how long I can park somewhere if it's not posted no parking I think I pay taxes on all of that property and not just one parking spot. In fact his salary probably comes out of my tax dollars. This isn't the first time he's seen me park there either and all the rangers down there know that I'm only there a few minutes but yet you just had to use your power to push somebody around because you think you can. Next time you see me I expect an apology
