Happy Camper

by omgtaters

Large campsites, great fishing (even if you don't catch anything :), clean facilities, dog friendly, and only a few minutes from 'civilization'. A great weekend getaway.

• Pros: Nature, swimming, boating
• Cons: Occasionally campers nearby can be inconsiderate with noise or trash.

Catch a crappie, camp in style and take in some cliff-top vistas.

In Short
If you're into camping, point your sleeping bag in the direction of this dynamite urban escape for city slickers. Each campsite has a grill and picnic table. Showers and restrooms are available. And you won't find a better place to paddle. Falls Lake is great for a romantic lakeside picnic for you and your honey or an all-out family reunion. The park has covered picnic areas for larger groups, but you must reserve in advance. Falls Lake also has plenty of bass, bluegill and crappie. Just be sure to steer clear of the swimmers.

This park has it all!

I love this park because it just has so much to offer. There is a playground for the kids(which is the main reason we started going there) and so much more. We have enjoyed the hiking trails and reading the informative brochures posted about. There is an area not far away for fishing if your in the mood for that-we watched kids catching catfish one day. Also, if you want to play on a soccer field there are a couple of those to take advantage of as well.

• Pros: great location, lots to do, no cost
• Cons: trail markings, trail lengths
