What a fabulous State Park. It's a great place to stay. Room was nice, bed was cozy, had a great view of the mountains. The restaurant offered an excellent breakfast, free with stay, and dinner was very good too. The catfish dinner and the sirloin were excellent. If I get back to the area, will support this wonderful state park.
