June 27 Only Park we camp at by Barbara Cornelius

We love going to the State Park it is very peaceful, clean, security is great, well lighted, very friendly workers. I would rate White Oak State one of the Best. If you are looking for a place to go and sit and watch the Fish and Ducks right outside your Camper Window then this is the place to go.

We stayed in our RV with our grandkids and their parents, who tent camped on our site. The park staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The park was very clean and well maintained. It was peaceful and family friendly. The parents took a long ride on the bike trail, and really enjoyed it. This was one of my favorite spots.
