Taylorsville Lake Campground — Hotel in Taylorsville

This is a really nice state park with clean facilities and friendly staff. The sites are gravel and almost level. The sites are spacious and some are a little bigger than others.

Lots of deer, can hear coyotes at night, saw a polecat in the culvert. Trash pandas...

A birders paradise! The night sky is a huge extra bonus. If you’re a birder check out the primitive camp access trail in the early morning hours. I saw Pileated Woodpeckers, White Eyed Vireos, Eastern Towhee and more! I didn’t get a chance to check any out other trails but I’m sure there’s tons of birds on the others as well. I loved camping where we did because we had a big open space to star gaze on the ground. Showers were clean, water was hot, bathrooms were spotless! We cant...
