The restrooms are outstanding in the regards of cleanness and layout. Campsites spacious and also well maintained. The price is excellent. Thank you to the staff that maintains this state park.
There are three loops at the state park. The Brownlee loop has more shade and some grassy areas. The Catfish loop has better views of the water, and without shade, it could be warmer in the summer months. Without shade, the C loop also has more goat heads. The sites at the Antelope loop are closer together and closer to the road.
For kids with bikes, the roads within the park are paved. For adults, there isn’t any place to ride your bike other than the truck stop for groceries.
I camped in October and found the weather to be perfect. There were no flies and no mosquitoes. The restrooms and showers were clean. The camp host was already gone for the season, but the park employees were still able to deliver firewood to our site. I’m told the park is open all year. While the water is off at the sites after October, the water is on for the showers and restrooms, making winter camping possible.
Within the park is a huge, fenced dog exercise area. The dog park is sizeable enough to launch tennis balls for dogs that need space to run. It has some shade and picnic tables. There are no goat heads in the dog park.
I’m told there was a water main break that took a season to fix. As a result, some parts of the state park look a little scratchy, and I’ve mentioned goat heads. The park employees are working to clear the goat heads one site at a time and bring the park back to its previous condition. I brought a shovel and cleared a few weeds from my site during set-up, since I have dogs. Doing that, plus my camp mat, made the weeds a non-issue.
Gas and groceries are available at the truck stop just outside of the park.
