We camp in a 32 ft travel trailer. No full sewer hook ups. The campsites are well maintained & spaced apart. You can hook up to cable (12 basic channels) too, a rare feature for state parks. The bathouse was well maintained & clean. The trails are plenty & well marked. We took several of them w/ our 4 children... More

Stayed in the campground for a weekend in April. Beautiful. The drive up from Chatsworth in a 37 foot motor home required some diligence, but it was worth it. Fantastic mountain views on the drive up. And the views from the deck at the end of the Tower / Fort trail hike are unparalleled. Lots to do with hiking trails,... More

Myself and six family members spent a weekend in one of the three bedroom cabins in the park. The cabin was roomy and had everything we needed. All we brought was food and drink. The park itself is breath taking. Lots of hiking trails. Biking too I think. It was February so it was cold and it seemed we had... More

I took my son camping in mid-December and we had a great time. There are several outdoor activities to do in the park. There are mountain bike trails (permit required but easy to get), hiking trails, geocaches, beautiful overlooks, fishing, and swimming in the summer. There is a great hiking trail called the Gahuti. It's around 8 miles with very... More

Another mystery tour landed us at fort mountain. It was definitely our kind of park. Plenty of trails with great views, picnic tables, campground, playground, and a lake.There's an old tower and a wall (whats left of it) the soldiers hid behind during one of the wars.

The camp sites here are set up nicely and there are playgrounds nearby for children. There is a lake for swimming when the weather is good. We were surprised to see a bear, the park ranger seemed very familiar with the bear and was on hand to manage the situation and warn guests who might have been too friendly.

Stopped here twice in the past month. Hiked the trails to the stone wall, towers, overlook and surrounding trails. They were working in picnic area, perhaps running water to one of the pavilions and painting bathrooms and some of the railings at cool springs overlook. Would like to check out the mtn biking trails. Did not camp so cannot address... More

I hadno expectations when I picked this hike and as I hit the peak for the opening my jaw dropped at the shear magnitude of the clouds, fog and mountain peaks. I did not want to leave because I felt like I was in an airplane high up without the airplane.

This park is only an hour from my home, but it seems like a world away. We recently stayed a couple of days in one of the cottages. They were charmingly rust and adequate for our needs. We are avid hikers and the trails there are wonderful. We've hiked them all. The scenery is breathtaking. On this trip we even... More
