Stay at one of our regular or backpack campsites. Explore 20 miles of trails. Shop our park store for souvenirs, camping and fishing supplies, books and much more.

You get to walk in dinosaur footprints, real tracks in the park that have been fossilized into the ground. Bring your swim suit cause there is water to get to some of the tracks. They have lots of trails to hike, tables for having a picnic, and swimming in the stream area. It's definitely worth checking out plus there is a gift shop there too.

The camping facilities seem fairly nice and largely well-shaded; however, the restrooms by the playground are far smaller than necessary on the weekend with only three stalls in the ladies room. Furthermore, my teenage daughter commented on the lack of adequate signage throughout the park, saying she thinks that the park would be more cohesive with large fixed maps at every major attraction throughout the park. Beyond that, in order for the park to be more family-friendly, my whole family thinks that having an easier way to access the water would make the park much more enjoyable.

Trails, campsites, and dinosaur tracks! Lots of hiking trails through brush and creeks with surprising access to ancient dinosaur tracks - if not covered by water. Fun for explorers or paleontologists of all ages.

Awesome park. Far more nature than I expected. Hiking is good. Be prepared for hiking of trail, some climbs down slopes to swim
