Campground Paul M. Grist State Park offers something for the whole family. There are 11 full hook up camp sites and almost endless primitive (full hook ups camp sites are along the water). Horses are not allowed in the full hook up camp areas. There is a big field at the end of the full hook up area for portable fencing.
