Cherry Plain State Park — Attraction in Town of Berlin

Worst camping trip of our lives. I tried to find a secluded campsite for my family, my dogs and my husband and I. I read all of the reviews on this campground, and everyone ranted and raved about how private it was and small. What a crock!! We checked in on Saturday and not only was our campsite not secluded, no one at the campground mentioned that there would be 60 people there for a wedding right next to our campsite! We have two dogs, one is a BLoodhound and he can get loud at passersby, but we were under the impression this would be a "private and secluded" campground. Needless to say, this was no vacation for us. Besides the dogs barking, we had a ton of small unattended children just walking onto our site to pet our dogs. A ton of people that thought our Bloodhound was some sort of spectacle and would constantly stop into our site. We even tried blocking our site with our cars, and it was just awful, people still kept coming. The staff on the first night was running their gators and four wheelers ALL NIGHT LONG, SO we had no sleep. Then we tried to play some music the next day (we could barely hear it on our site) and a female staff member walked down and said she could hear the music at the office. This wasn't even QUIET TIME!!! IT was dinnertime around 6 p.m.! Then we were talked to about our dog barking, which, in my opinion, he was just being a dog, by the same female staff member. We will never return to this campground, and frankly, we deserve a refund!! We ended up leaving a day early also, this...

This place is my heart and soul. I have many childhood memories here, and it's so great to see how the place has transformed and evolved over the years. There used to be a little island in the middle of the lake, they took that down years ago. There was no camping when I was younger, but there is now. You can rent row boats, there is a big hill where wild strawberries grow, and I see people saying there's no trails ...silly... you have to know where to look! =) there is an EXTREMELY long trail that even I didn't discover until I was in n my 20's and it goes MILES AND MILES into the state land. It's easy to walk right past if you are on the smaller trail that leads to the other end of the lake where the small water flow is. This is where I grew up, and this will always be home to me. My father still lives up that way, and I will be coming out to try out the camping experience this summer! I always bring the kids for swimming and the park, so I can't wait to see what it's actually like to legally camp there lol...(we used to pitch tents way on the other side of the lake right in the middle of nowhere on state land) good times. This is a very clean place, and unlike most parks or attractions, it's nowhere near any place that would be considered "residential" if it wasn't here in the maps, one would even consider it to be in the "middle of nowhere" LOL I would reccomend ANYONE to...

We had the best time at cherry plain State Park! This place is the perfect spot for a relaxing family day. The barbecue grills were a major highlight – they’re well-maintained and easy to use, but just make sure to bring your own charcoal. Grilling up lunch while surrounded by nature was so enjoyable, and the picnic areas were spacious and clean.

For the kids, the swimming area was a huge hit! The water was clean, and the shallow end was perfect for younger kids to splash around safely. It’s great that there’s a designated swimming spot where they can have fun without being crowded by too many people.

Another thing we loved was the bathrooms – they were surprisingly nice and clean, which is always a big plus when you’re out with kids.

The whole park has a peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. It wasn’t crowded at all, which made it feel even more relaxing. There’s plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the day, whether you’re grilling, swimming, or just lounging under the trees.

Overall, The Park is a wonderful, low-key spot for a family outing. We’ll...
