The park is clean and fairly quiet. Sites are mostly big but privacy can vary. Comfort station is kept clean. Staff is friendly. The dumping station is a little out of the way bit seems to be maintained. Paved sections of road have not been maintained well and can cause issues. Dirt sections are moderately maintained. Some roads are 2 way but only wide enough for one car.

Great place for camping, friends and family day out. Lots of trails and walk ways for hiking. Ponds and beaches. Clean and nicely planned spots. Laundry and washrooms available. Day trips are open for everyone for whole park while for camping there is a fee. RVs and tents all are permitted.

We did the Butter Pot Trail hike to the peak. The sign says 1 hour but it took longer going up as the terrain varied you had to adjust and sometimes it was hard to figure out to where the trail was at times (we used the offline map from OsmAnd to help with navigation). Suggest wearing shoes with a good grip i.e. Converse aren't a great idea. It was windy at the top of the peak.
