Need to get away from work for a few days and thinking about camping here as the have a large lake to take the kayaks to.  Anyone been here and know of any decent loops to stay on?  It is going to be my oldest son and I leaving the wife and dog home.

We were there 4 times last October, plus I've been a few times to hike the Furnace trail and La Ho trail.  Haven't taken my kayak yet, they require a launch permit.

We've been on the southern parts of B and C, marked for dogs.  A, B and half of C is shaded, the rest of C and D are in the open.  If you can get an end spot like 43 or 44 or 144 you'll get a large site with no neighbors.  If you stay in the southern portion of C there is a path between 86/87 and 68/69 for easy access to the bath house on the B loop.  Just don't get one of the sites I just listed because you get lots of foot traffic by your site.  Water access is at the end of the tent lane.

Oh, and we'll probably be back several times this October, including to participate in the Halloween festival.  Its a big affair with lots of volunteer work which draws big crowds.

We stayed at this park and have put this one on the must visit again list.  Had a great time out on the lake with my son, sites seemed very roomy and we almost had the park to ourselves as we went during the week.  Huge pool which we did not use.

I was on site 104 - right in front of the water tower.  I liked them right around the tower as the seemed very spaced apart.  I'm hoping to book a weekend in October but not sure with other plans going on.

Yup, know right where you were.  We will most likely be back every weekend in October this year.  If you can figure out which weekend you might go I'll post a mini-roundup in case anyone else can join.

Update, we just booked for this weekend, site 136.  I realized the girls had cheerleading activities on Sat and Sun (and I really wanted to go camping this weekend), so away we go...
