This is my favorite place to take my kids when I don't feel like doing multiple activities or going to multiple locations in one day - you can get there and pick a nice spot that gives you a view of the beach, the splash pad and bath house and the kids can be free to frolick and play for hours while their battle worn caregiver(s) relax in the shade or join in on the fun. It is well worth the $7 all-day fee but we like going after 5pm on weekdays or 6pm weekends because it's free, less crowded - the beach is open until 7pm and the splash pad is running until 8pm so plenty of time to enjoy the cooler part of the day without commiting to spending too many hours there (sorry kids it's closing we have to leave! Lol). Nice paved trails, decent sized sandy beach plus several playgrounds and covered pavilions make it the perfect spot to get together with friends and family and great for any party or event. Dogs on a leash are welcome which is great for pet owners to let our furry companions join in on the fun and fresh air. Grills and picnic tables all over make having lunch or dinner El fresco a walk in the park!

Loved camping at this State park. I live pretty close to this park but have never actually been, I figured we would give it a try and so glad we did. This State Park Campgrounds is pretty small and to my surprise I actually liked this! The park was quiet and well kept. The sites are very very roomy. The park has tons of activities throughout the grounds like a Recreation pavilion with a table tennis table(they also do movie nights on Saturdays in it), horseshoes, cornhole, basketball court, volleyball court, playground, swings, beach, and splashpad(you need to bring your own equipment like volleyball, basketball, paddles and ball and so on). Cons would be the beach does get closed done quite a bit do to a dangerous algae, clearly the state park has no control over the algae but if swimming is a must for you I would take that into consideration. Overall I think this is a great state park.

Very nice looking park. Walking through trees while Onedia lake is in the background. You can rent pavilions, they have many different stationary grills on site, with just as many benches to pull around and have a nice family day or a date day. Good size playground for kids. A nice area in the middle of the park for changing and restroom and plenty of restrooms on site. Also with a tiny grill type restaurant you can order from. (Its expensive though!) Oooo by the way it's a dog-friendly place too! Sylvan Beach is right don't the road, so it's like do you want a nice calm experience at Verona? Or the hustle and busle of Sylvan Beach?

This is a small park which is packed with lots of features. There is a small sand beach, numerous shelters for hosting parties or gatherings. there is a small splash pad and a very small camping area. The camp store sells food, ice cream and all the essentials. The location is a short distance from Sylvan Beach and Boxing Hall of Fame! Photos are from a windy day in early June. It appears all the camping sites have electric with 20, 30, 50 amp.

I love this place. It's very clean, nice, and very beautiful. There are plenty of picnic tables and bathroom locations. If you don't feel like having a barbecue? You can order food at the concession stand and ice cream, too. The beach is not very big, but it's not too small at the same time. You have to go out pretty far out in the water to get up to your neck. The water is clear and slightly wavy water. They even have a playground for kids..

We really enjoyed this 5 night stop. The bathrooms are cleaner than most homes. Walking/Bike trails are good. We would stay again
