The park truly justifies its name. The Chase point trail offers gorgeous views. We stayed camping for 3 nights. The bathrooms and showers are clean, the drinking water tastes great. Campsites are very good, very few mosquitoes. The lodge has board games, a fireplace with a load of firewood, and a nice triptych of pictures.

Would have loved to give the park more stars, as the scenery really is beautiful and the trails were wonderful, but the campsites leave a lot to be desired. In Lodge Campground, there were some sites hospitable for tents - ours was not, mostly gravel with what seemed like a concrete layer about 1.5 inches into the ground, so we were not able to properly secure our tent spikes. I would advise not even considering trying to tent camp in Chase Point Campground - most of those sites were pure grave or straight up concrete. It rained pretty heavily while we were there, and the park does not have any covered picnic areas or shelters open to the public, so we had to bunk down in tents or cars until the storm went through. Definitely more of an RV or camper park. The mosquitoes were THICK, though the site that we were in (site 70) was in a corner surrounded by woods, so I'm not sure how the bugs were throughout the rest of campground. Also, for that particular site, we had nightly raccoon visits as they attempted to get into our closed coolers and secured boxes - if you stay near the woods, definitely put things away in your vehicle each night. Bathrooms had moldy show curtains and lots of mildew/grime - though not the worst camp showers I've ever used. The beach area was alright, shaded with lots of room to set up chairs, but no real beachy, sandy area. We tried to rent kayaks, and only 4 were available for the whole park. We got down to the rental spot (not monitored) and though we rented three, only two were there, and they were not beginner-friendly, very narrow and shallow, pretty likely to tip in the water. I will say though, the staff was WONDERFUL - the woman we spoke to several times at the welcome center and who helped us with the rentals was so friendly, and gave us a full refund when we let her know we had changed our minds on the kayaking. I might come back for a day trip or a one-night stay, but probably wouldn't return for an extended stay unless it was in an RV. Highlight of the trip was the 2mi round-trip hike to Chase Point, definitely worth it for the beautiful old-growth pines and view of the lake!

Beautiful park with superb hiking trails. Somewhat hilly, but nicely cleared and maintained. Campground is relatively flat, great water access, and some amazing stargazing.

One of my favorite state parks. Beautiful red and white pine stands. A few great sites. Always a nice time. Bring your bug spray.

Wonderful place to camp. Although pretty full, it was still pretty quiet. Peaceful place.
