What campers say

Pilot Knob State Park offers scenic hiking and an observation tower with wide views, plus a small, shaded campground with electric (30/50 amp) sites and a water/dump station at the RV entrance. Restrooms and individual shower rooms are reported as clean and functional. Visitors praise friendly staff, wildlife viewing and generally well-maintained trails, though trail conditions may vary—one report noted overgrown or downed trees—and some campsites are fairly sloped. Expect occasional bugs and mixed experiences with nighttime noise enforcement. Overall a compact park with strong scenery and basic campground amenities.
