Darien Lakes State Park, Darien Center

Nice, very clean campground except the showers. The water isn't very hot. Not being able to connect to water was an inconvenience too but we knew that going in, it was going to be tough. We thought we'd just shower at the bathhouse it would be fine for a few days but the showers luke warm and pretty miserable. That's why I only gave 4 stars. Other than that I'd say great little park to stay in. The beach area is nice. And the play grounds everywhere throughout the park are a nice addition. There are plenty of picnic tables and several covered pavilions to have gatherings or birthday parties overlooking the water which is nice. The water is very clear for a lake. My dogs loved the water. Over all very clean park. Plus for being close to groceries and restaurants.

Very peaceful. The ground was still covered in snow, but you could tell underneath was mud. This park is known for its mud. Not too strenuous. Lots of trails to explore; especially for those trying to escape the amusement park for a while.
