The kids and I enjoyed the scenery and while the kids played on the playground, we had lunch. The dogs loved the walk as well.

This is a beautiful park, fully equipped to host you for days at a time! Hiking, swimming, beautiful views, and clean well kept restroom and showers! We've enjoyed staying here in all different campsites over the last 17 years and are heading back tomorrow to just spend the day!
