Burnham Point State Park

This state park is a fantastic camp ground. The spots are much larger than private campgrounds, and have nice fire pits and picnic tables. There is a good number of trees, providing great shade on a lot of the sites. The central wash house is brand new and really nice, there are six private bathrooms each with shower, sink and toilet. There is also a great new playground with swings, teeter totter, forest fort and pirate ship; certainly a little kid hangout. The views of the river are spectacular, especially from the tent sites on the edge of the bluff where you get totally immersed in the feeling of it. Great staff takes impeccable care of the grounds, are friendly and proud of their little slice of heaven on the river. Many of the docks were washed out from the high water of 2017/2019; the concrete pier is still intact but still a little treacherous until the water subsides (if it ever does) Connectivity: Cellphone service here is limited to Verizon and a Canadian service from across the river. You have to drive west almost to Clayton to get Sprint, there appears to be no Sprint or US GSM carrier towers anywhere near here. The park doesn't have wifi either, so this is a good spot for technology detox.
