Had a great camping trip with my scout group at Muddy Run. We went for a hike around the lakes that was a little over 4 miles and camped in one of the primitive sites. It was a great campsite and the restrooms and showers were only about 200 yards from the campsite. Gorgeous hiking trails, lots of fishing opportunities, and the observatory was fun as well. Highly recommend, and plan on going back.

Great campground. We had very friendly campers all around us! You can rent boats and fish very inexpensive. The Indian pow wow was spectacular, dancing, food and great crafts. everything I looked at was handmade. If you go and stay in the overflow, take at least a hundred feet of water hose. I highly recommend staying here

We had a family reunion here as we do every year we always rent a Pavilion and it's nice to have the playground. The bathrooms are nice and clean and it's there's a a hiking trail that leads down to the lake.
