The campsites were spacious and kept fairly well, but the park is overrun with ticks. We couldn't walk across the gravel campsite without picking up one. A few well versed hikers in our group tried hiking the main lake trail, but had to turn around the ticks were so bad. Even for May, nobody ever seen an infestation this bad. Between the four of us we killed nearly 50. Not enjoyable unless you don't mind picking up Lyme.
