Spent one night at Myre-Big Island State Park. The staff was very helpful and even on a Friday night we had no trouble finding a camp site. Like most other state parks, they don't want you to bring any outside firewood in, but you can purchase a bundle for $6.00. would definitely stay here again if I am ever around that area.

I’m new to the area and my dog and I enjoyed walking around the park. Got to see a beautiful lake. Good campgrounds to eat. And plenty of trails to explore.
