I've enjoyed eight great years of interaction with thousands of other small travel trailer owners. Thanks for all your support, and hopefully a few of us will meet again somewhere in the woods or on the road! - Denny

General Comments
Very nice state park, heavily wooded with full hookups available. There is a lodge with a full-service restaurant in the park. It's only a short drive to both DeSoto Falls and Little River Canyon.
