Purtis Creek State Park

Purtis Creek State Park
March 2012

 This is a small State Park with about 60 camping spots.   The spots are in good shape and most of them had shade.   The park sits on a small fishing lake.   They do allow boats but keep a maximum of 50 boats on the lake at any one time.   The park was busy and most of the spots were occupied.   If you don't hit the lake early, you could be waiting for a while for boats to come off the lake once the 50 boat max capacity is met.

The had a small park store and rented canoes and kayaks.   Hardly anyone was in their campsite.   They were out, swimming, paddling, fishing boating, bird watching or hiking.

We enjoyed this park and would recommend it for a short stay.  

We give it a 8 out 10.

Pros
Nice shaded camping spots
Lots to do (boating, fishing, hiking, paddling)

Cons
Busy Park
50 boat limit
Small lake
