Camped mid-June 2024, friendly staff and well kept facilities. Water temperature in the mid to upper 70's was very refreshing. Spotted Loon, beaver, GB herons, Bald Eagle. Brilliant fireflies! Enjoyed paddling an inflatable kayak, fishing and exploring the trails. Lots of blue gill, some yellow perch and a few smallmouth bass. Although busy with day use and campers, it never felt crowded. A few dogs, no problem. Neighboring camper had a generator that was silenced at around 10pm, much appreciated, although I would prefer camping areas set aside with no generators. Road noise from 202 can be loud at times. Great family camping area. Thanks to park staff for a very enjoyable experience!

Great for hiking, fishing, camping and swimming! We love it here. Bathrooms are generally clean and well maintained. **Parking though - the kiosk in the parking lot is not operational. There's a sign with an Apple QR code (not helpful for those of us on Android) to download an app to pay to park. Only problem is.... There's no cellphone service in the park. We drove 5 mins down the road into town to download the app to pay for parking. We get the app and drive back. Only to find out the parking is free until May 28th. A sign would have been MOST helpful. Save yourself the headache and download the Yodel app in advance of visiting the park.

When we went it was nice and quiet up there. The beach is clean. It’s sunny on the beach for most of the day. The water is pretty clear. There are lifeguards. They have trash cans and recycle bins. Grills to cook out. The only thing I did not like was the beautiful grassy area had so much dog poop EVERYWHERE!!! The kids can’t play there without stepping in it. Why does nobody clean up their dogs messes. DISGUSTING. Other than that I’ll definitely go back and spend a whole day.

We love this campground, have been going there for 4 years now. Camp sites are lovely, close to the lake, bathrooms. Great for biking. Lovely coffee and ice cream place like Garden Kitchen in a nearby Templeton, close to grocery stores. I also like how attentive and kind personnel and security are. We had one incident with kids, and they were so attentive and kind, did not leave us until we found them. Of course the nature is just spectacular there. The best times :)

It's a great place to spend time in the nice weather. There's a lake, restrooms, grills, and picnic tables. There are boat launches and a lot of great places you can access both by kayak or on the back dirt roads. There are great fishing spots out on the rivers and lots of trails to hike. You can access the lake through either Winchendon or Royalston. The Royalston way is all dirt roads to the lake.
