We really enjoyed camping at this state park. We had full hook up at our site with plenty of space between other campers. The hiking and biking offered amazing views of the waterfalls. We had lunch at the Inn which was very affordable. They also offered their own craft beer. The park general store also sold a great selection of beer!
