El Dorado State Park Camp Ground Frontier 9

This is a beautiful park. It has a river that runs through it and a man-made lake. The campsites are separated a little from each other. Lots of nice trees. There are lots of paved trails and paved roads in the campground that are nice for biking. There are some trails through the woods also. We had electric and water.
We visited this park in early April. It was very confusing to get a site because there was no camp host available and the park office was closed. (It was Saturday.) There were a lot of local campers in the park. There are maps on bulletin boards but no printed maps were available. This is a BIG park with multiple camping areas so it was difficult to figure out on our own.

Primitive camping was empty during the weekdays. Nice trees to hang up a hammock. Ranger I met was super-helpful. Serene, beautiful, amazing by the lake.

I had to make light just so you can see my picture or it would have been all dark and you would have been able to see the beautiful galaxy above, Cool Wind rolling off the water to soothe your earlier sunburn as you enjoyed fine fishing excellent swimming and where the term "good people" originated

Bike friendly. Just off the trans America bicycle trail. A good detour between Newton and Rosalia. Simple camp sites with a shower and laundry.
