Jenny D (JustJennyD)Great trails with plenty of space to explore. We also found out you can camp here, which looked like a really fun option.

Peter MoyStayed overnight on 9/24/22. Nice campsite with new bathrooms and a large field with a view of the eastern sky if you want to do some stargazing. Have a good mattress pad however as some of the campsites are very rocky.

Ian RobertsonThis is a really great park. You can camp there and all that, but the picnic area with a pavilion is up for rent and is really nice. Picnic tables, charcoal grills, enough field to have a football game a playground for the kids, and lots of shade where you want it and sunny where you want it. All and all, a great place to have an event

Rob HollandLovely little state park. Quiet campsites while we were there that are all well spaced out and fairly private. They sell wood and ice at the camp shop for cheap. The bathrooms were all brand new and very clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Carisa FaheyMy family and I loved the Max V Shaul campgrounds. We stayed in early October 2020. The trip up there from NYC was spectacular during the fall season. Our site was clean, pretty large (drive in site-fit 2 cars.) and canopied with trees with varying colored leaves. The bathroom was immaculate and modern. It does get very cold at night and we heard some animals howl but they seemed to be far from us. We always felt safe and welcomed. They do allows dogs with a copy of vaccination. They don’t have a store on site.
