Park was great- well kept, quiet, and clean
Campsite was the same. Only problem was that the flush toilet became soiled fairly early one day before I had a chance to use it, and it took nearly 24 hours for it to get cleaned.

Great Stay
It would be nice if a person was able to cancel just one day instead of canceling the whole reservation in order to cancel one day.

Great Stay
The only thing i would recommend is breaking the reservations down into an east and west in the title of the area. I had no idea there was an east and west, and on the reservation, it onlu says "Pickerel Lake Recreation Area." We showed up, couldnt find our cabin, then realized it was at the East side on the other end of the lake, and didnt have a walk to beach. With kids, this would have been good to know. Besides that, everything was great.

We had a total of 5 dogs in the campsites beside us that had barking dogs which made for an unpleasant visit.

Awesome cabin
Fantastic cabin. Very clean!! The only negative is the mattress es are very firm. I'd suggest bringing a mattress pad if you dislike a firm bed. Also the grill didn't have a propane tank. Not sure if the campground provides them?? But we very much enjoyed this beautiful cabin and the view is awesome!

The park was very clean and well mowed except for the entrance and road going to the boat launch.

Good time
Would suggest buying your day pass(es) at time of reservation due to camp site kiosk charging for 3 days as we were unable to put in our exact camping dates. Of course if you have a park annual pass you can bypass the day park pass. Campground clean, mosquitoes were pesky. Quiet camp. Not many sites reserved. Trails are good.
