park review stars; one to five I only had the chance to stay one night. I camped with friends and their family. It was a great park from what I saw. Kayaking available to and you chose your own campsite. Prices were great I dont know many specifics yet since I wasnt there long but I plan to go back within the week. Public restrooms and a pier as well and trails of course. Definately check it out.
