As far as I could tell, every campsite was taken Memorial Day weekend. However, it did not feel crowded. The restrooms are very nice and within walking distance of most campsites. The water was high while we were there, so the "beach" was nearly non-existent. Friendly campground managers and Park Staff add to the positive aspects of this park. Gorgeous scenery and trails, as well. I highly recommend. Also, Mushroom Rock is about a 10 minute drive, so you can get two trips in one.
I've been to quite a few state parks and national parks, so I was a little surprised at the condition of the facilities here considering the price for use. The camp sites are maintained well enough but the latrines and shower houses leave a lot to be desired in cleanliness and maintenance. However, we really enjoyed the lake and the wonderful nature trails.
I wish there was a better way to get to the caves. That's a lot of driving down dirt roads and a small overgrown path, and there need to be better signs with the grass cut around the ones there so you can walk up and read the small wording. Everything was clean, guest and employees were nice. The beach area was great, play areas, couple of nice little stores to pick up things forgotten.
Great place, but need bathroom in all camping circles, you may try to find out what the bugs are that were biting people in Sumac area. They were so small like dark brown-red mites.
Sandy Shore at Kanopolis lake is an awesome place to go camping. Camped there for almost a month recently & thoroughly enjoyed it even though I was having medical issues half the time we were there. None of us wanted to leave and come back home.
Beautiful park, lots to do and see. Trails are fantastic and I love that they cater to equestrians also. We primitive camped near the shore and it was a great experience.
