And even if you want a little snack, there's CJ's Evergreen General Store & Catering. That's walking distance from the park. The store even sells peanuts for the squirrels. If you come here a lot, you know the squirrels are super friendly and they love a good bite to eat. It's one of my favorite parks to go to with my family. Helpful tip: If you are parking in the boat parking area. Please don't park in the middle. They will ticket you. The middle is for people that have boats. The ticket guy will come by and give you a ticket. I've seen it happen plenty of times. There's not a big sign that say it but there is a sign on the far left.

The beach is a quick 5-8 minute walk from the campground, depending on where your spot is. And there's also plenty of hiking paths around the peninsula! I think we clocked in at 1.5 miles, but it's kind of steep in parts. My favorite part about the campsite was the tree cover. There was always shade throughout the day, which kept the temp cooler. It also lightly rained for several hours Saturday afternoon and then again over night, but with all the trees our picnic table stayed mostly dry and our tent didn't get too soaked! Overall, very beautiful park and campground. I want to come back and experience this place again

We took the battery and interpretive trails, nothing fantastic but still enjoyable with some nice bay views and little critters along the way. We ran into the campground host once who was very friendly and helpful. The day use area was good, with a large picnic building and lots of parking. Overall a nice, quiet stay and well-kept grounds.

I was here recently for a baby shower, and it was the perfect location for the event! Our summer weather has been sort of wonky, so having all of the covered space was nice just in case the event that it wanted to start raining or sprinkling. The bathrooms are very clean - just be warned, the toilet seats are ICE COLD. It's made up by the fact that the hot water in the sink actually works and heats up super fast. Plenty of space for outdoor games, there's a little trail you can walk, and there's a small creek running by the parking lot too. Cute little park to host an event!

Overheard many of the guests saying it felt like a destination wedding. I did like that you could bring food from outside, and you do not have to use a required vendor. Clean up is also the responsibility of the wedding party, so remember to delegate wisely!

Wedding cake melted in fridge after temperature was adjusted without permission. Air conditioning was not turned on for guests, at least 90 degrees inside during the reception. It's a beautiful place but only rent if you expect absolutely no accommodation or basic services.

It rained the day before and my feet were an inch deep into the grass and mud, which were filled with geese poop. There is a bathroom and a big field to walk around in. There is also a nice baseball field to play. There is a community room to host events and etc. And a lot of parking space.

There is also a fishing pier. Huge access to the water. You can walk right up to the lake so watch your kids! Bring a folding chair and just sit back and relax by the lake.
