This state park is great. Lots of walking paths and right across from beautiful Geneva Lake ! the beach isnt much because its 6 feet from the street but the water is amazing ! clear and blue....nice clean lake. The state park has a lake/pond to fish in and its stocked. The cam ground is good, not to close to... More

BEAUTIFUL!! We went on our first snow-shoeing adventure here! We liked it so much, we bought snow shoes last week!! Not crowded at all; only ran into 3 people while out on the trails.

This is the worst beach I have ever seen. I hated paying good money to sit on a beach that was narrower than I am laying down. Lots of boats anchor here and it is noisy. The State Park is okay. We did camp there and had fun, but this park gets very crowded.

I'm pretty sure the only reason for its existence is because its kind of close to the city of Lake Geneva. Unless you want to purchase a bunch of overpriced boutique items (then why are you camping?), then there is no reason to visit Geneva. The camp sites are located in a large clear cut field. The trails are uninteresting.... More

If the weather is good it is a nice place to visit. Nothing spectacular but it is by the water with a good beach. Well maitained, clean and fun for kids.

A group of friends camped here over the weekend... I've been to several campgrounds and this one was the most "rough." The bathroom was pretty gross... three stalls with holes in the ground, super smelly, cobwebs everywhere, often out of toilet paper, and no sinks. You have to wash your hands and face at a drinking fountain. I didn't go... More

we traveled a long way to show up in a place that was so small, and the beach was probably hidden, we did not find it, maybe just the name to lure travelers, the campground was ok.
