We got several times a summer to swim at the lake. It is cheap to get it and 5 mins from our home. Kids in car seats are free!! It can get very crowded on holidays and weekends, so go early b/c once it reaches capacity, they stop letting people in. Do not set up in the middle area near... More

This is a very nice park. I would recommend going in the Spring or during the week because it fills to capacity quite often in the Summer. Also, swimming is limited often in the summer due to stagnant water/bacteria problems. Nice shaded picnic areas.

We have camped in this park on several occasions over the years. We were just there last week. We camped in the Ash loop which is really for tent campers - which we are as it does not have any hookups. The sites are well-appointed, and equipped with a pad, fire ring, a shelf, and a picnic table, and a... More

The campsites were nice and the staff was very pleasant and professional, however the main attractions, "the lake", was a nightmare!!!!! Something in my gut told me that I shouldn't let our children swim in the cesspool looking lake. 20 seconds later and a mild meltdown from my daughter, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that they were closing the...

Go for cedar loop Where they hv electric and pets allowed. It's a paved road but steep for lil kiddos on bikes. Bring your own bait. Fishing is great but bait way overpriced! We had No problem carrying our own firewood into park and did not hv t pay a park fee since we were camping. Great campground!

Very quiet, nice beach area, clean bathrooms, decent food at an ok price. Great place for kids and adults alike, family atmosphere.

We live close by. I hadn't been in years. I was looking for a quick, in expensive way to cool off with the kids..they enjoyed the white sand beach and just floating in the water. Lots of moms with kids and nice shaded areas to relax. I love the hammocks that people bring and tie to the trees...will have to... More

This is a great recreational area, although on the small side. I hunt deer here in the fall and fish the lake at other times. There is a camping area and a great walking or biking trail. The Appalachian Trail skirts along the edge of this park which adds to its hiking areas. Picnicking and swimming in season is available.

This is a nice park just outside of Frederick, MD. It is a nice place to camp or just go for a day visit. The lake is beautifully set in a mountainous back drop. The wind was blowing when we went so we weren't bothered by bugs. Many people were enjoying the beach area, hiking and picnicing. We had hoped... More
