We stayed at site 35 for three days, on a Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We like to arrive to camp when the weekend crowds are leaving, because mid week most of these State Parks are fairly empty and quiet. We had the entire peninsula to ourselves, so it was idyllic. (sites 26-35 are considered the peninsula, and all are right on the water). Fishing is as easy as 15 steps from your tent/trailer down to waters edge, but the slope at sites 33, 34, and 35 are steep, 35 being the steepest. You could launch canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards right at your site, but the bottom is soft and a little mucky, so bring water shoes. Watch for snapping turtles, muscles, leaches, and blue/green algae blooms.
The bathroom at the end of this loop were very clean! The staff were pleasant and sociable. The park was, "kinda", clean...ish. Sorta. No toilet paper blooms like you find along trails in the ADKs, but cig butts, bottle caps, and melted/burned trash in the fire pits. We always spend 15 or 20 minutes when we get to a site policing it up and scooping the fire pit, but you have to expect that when camping in a campground. Site 35, contrary to what the Reserve America map shows, is the last site right ON the water, with a wooded hill next to it. It isn't level, so plan to use leveling legs or putting one tire on a block. We have a tiny, lightweight Aspen Classic motorcycle popup tent camper, so it was easy for us. Bigger trailers might want to opted for sites 24-33 or so, as they are more level.
It was peaceful, quiet, and...

We stayed at site 121.
The bathrooms were cleaned daily, and stocked. Free, hot showers but in the shower house closest to our site, there were three handicap showers with shower heads at half height and only two, gender separated, normal showers. So really only one shower. The men’s shower has a button and it turns off after three seconds. Yes… three seconds.
The firewood was $5 a bundle, about 10 pieces and all of the wood we received was not only wet but smelled like manure. We were still able to have successful fires.
Several water taps throughout the campground.
The workers were great, all very nice.
The campground is very well maintained. There are definitely some sites that are better than others, but isn’t that always the case. We would not choose 121 again. I think 119 is the site to choose if you want personal...

Many sites with no electricity or water on site. Maybe 10 sites with 30amp electric and no water. No sewer on site. There is a very nice, large playground near the electric sites with a large field to play in and horseshoe set ups. There is a nice dump station with potable water by the black water dump. Be careful. There are many potable water connections scattered around the park to fill your fresh water holding tank. I’d use one of these instead of the one by the dump. Several bathrooms. Two are newer and mostly clean. Not spotless. They have plenty of hot water for the showers. There are several miles of hiking trails. There is a nice large day use area with a beach. This is the second time I e been here and would stay again. We had an electric site. The site was dirt/sand and very clean....
