We stayed two nights in July, which was all I could get on short notice. Will book farther ahead next time and there will be a next time! Sites are well spaced, so it doesn't feel crowded, even when full! Hiking and mountain biking are on the other side of the river across the foot bridge. So close to town that you could walk. Great park that's well taken care of!

Great park for day hike trails and car camping for a short weekend. We also received excellent assistance from the county office and on site resident, very pleased with the outcome. There are wagons available to help campers transport materials to their site, as well as installed locking containers at some sites to protect your food from local wildlife.

What a Beautiful place to take your family, we love coming here to just get away on a short trip. The trail is mainly flat and perfect for walking & bike rides. The River is so peaceful and beautiful to just gaze at. If you are looking for a trail you can easily walk, run or ride a bike, this is the place. Be sure to pack some water and enjoy this wonderful experience. Remlinger Farms is right next store, grab some lunch at there amazing restaurant for a home cooked meal to end your trip! Have fun!😎

I came here for a retreat weekend, so the park was closed and we had it all to ourselves in a fairly small group. Otherwise, I can imagine it possibly being very busy because it was lovely and somehow still had green grass deep into a dry summer. There were great big trees of all types for shade and open meadows for games and activities. The best part about this park is the fact that there is a trail head with lots of different trails of all types, but the biggest thriller was the water access. There is a large and lovely river right off this camp area. The water is super cold, but you’re able to get used to it and actually enjoy it on a hot day. The shore is rocky but could use chairs if you want to stay all day. There’s a beautiful bridge spanning the expanse of the river. This is a really awesome place as well because the town of Carnation, directly outside the park has, shopping, coffee, groceries restaurants, gas, and supplies. But somehow when you’re in the park, it seems like everything like that is far far away. It’s truly a magical place. Very curious to see how it is in normal operations.

Very pretty park with excellent amenities. Lots of parking, play fields are kept in great shape and the river makes for relaxing feeling. Lots of shade trees if you want them. The big barn makes a nice area for groups and the adjacent bbq is a nice touch. Today the Porsche Club of America was having a group event here which seemed very fitting for this upscale facility.
