Reviews
Camper reviews for Potato Creek State Park
Comfortable camping
If you enjoy large well unkept camping lots, this is your park! It’s really hard to get a bad site at potato creek state park. The hiking trails are ok but nothing spectacular, they do offer a nice paved bike path through the woods, a BMX bike trail and bike rental at their store and Their beach is huge and very well maintained. The park is laid out in several circles with a decent shower house in the center of each circle. This is probably my most visited park due to geographical location and lot size.
