Close to town, clean grounds, well spaced camping spots. My space was right on the water which was very relaxing. The visitor center is very nice. There's a beach, didn't try it but looked good. This is a good place to try camping for the first time or/and with little ones. It's only a few miles from town. Feels like you are in nature but every once in a while you hear a train in the distance. Oh and there's a nuclear power plant across the lake which was pretty odd and interesting for a state park. No dark skies, you'll have to go to the Buffalo for that.
