To get to this campground you drive 1-1/2 miles down a narrow, windy, tree-lined, degraded road that isn't wide enough for two cars to the lake. Luckily, we didn't pass anybody on the way in or out. Nice campground, ranger on site who drives around in a golf cart. There's an office but we never saw anyone in it. Only 11 sites, very well-defined by railroad ties, all on the beautiful lake. Boat ramp, rental cabins, primitive tenting area, fishing pier, small playground, wooded area. All full hook-ups, fire ring, table at each site, equestrian trail, boat rentals, pavilion, swimming area. Lots of wildlife, especially birds. Clean restroom. Not much in the area except the lake.

What campers say
Paul M. Grist State Park is a small, quiet park built around a scenic lake, popular for fishing, hiking and horse trails. Campsites include primitive and RV options, and the site often feels uncrowded and pet-friendly. Staff are generally described as friendly and accommodating. Practical tradeoffs: playgrounds, piers and rental boats show wear, some amenities are limited, access roads are narrow, and trails can be rough. It’s an affordable, peaceful choice for anglers and rustic campers rather than visitors seeking modern recreational facilities.
