“Cub Scouts Had GREAT time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2012

We took a pack of 55 cub scouts and 40 adults to Purtis Creek during the middle of April 2012. The camping could not have been better as all of the 12 campsites we used were flat, open, and easily accessible.

It's not big, but Purtis Creek State Park is well-maintained with nice campsites, picnic areas, fishing piers, canoe rentals, boat ramps, clean restrooms, and a pretty nature trail.
