The undderated park itself spans 500 acres, which is smaller than many of our parks, but large enough to accommodate plenty of campers and people relaxing away from city noise.

Campers can bring tents, but an even better way to enjoy the park is while staying at their new cabins, with full kitchens, refrigerator, and all the peace and quiet you need.
