Trace State Park

We stayed three-nights in a full-service RV site on the lake. We really enjoyed this park - it’s well maintained (except the roads - they’re really rutted and difficult to drive) and the facilities and park itself are great. We lost a couple of dollars in the washing machine, so gave it up and went to town to do laundry, so can’t recommend you do laundry at the park unless they’ve modernized the machines. Beautiful park - lots of land and amenities - lots of families with kids. Can highly recommend.

Skoolie friendly! I stayed at site 121 (the equestrian area) for the entire month of April. This site is fairly far from the restrooms which was an inconvenience for me. It’s very nice and quiet back there, and pretty dark too. Through the trees you can see the water. There’s a nice little dock/fishing area within walking distance. Lots of nice nature experiences! I didn’t use the sewage, but the water and electric hook ups worked great for me. I loved the concrete patio area. The picnic table is wood with metal supports, and is chained to the ground. There’s a nice fire pit and grill as well. Most of the people staying back there are long term, and everyone seemed nice and respectful. A camp host also stays back there. The bathroom shower was amazing (very large, handheld shower head with various settings, and hooks and spaces to sit things down without them getting wet.) I believe there is AC/heating in there, but there were some weird issues with lights. I guess they are on a timer because they wouldn’t come on a certain times of the day/night. There was tons of insects and spiders and crickets with black worms in there, but they cleaned it fairly often. It has 2 toilets and one sink with a mirror. The site is fairly private as well, and I saw a deer family very often as well as other critters like raccoons on my patio. Definitely recommend this area of the park! The month long stay in April was expensive in my opinion though as it was $676. Also the road through the park is terrible with tons of pot holes.

We'll give Trace a 5 for it's beautiful surroundings and wildlife but the men's showers were a wee bit overdue to be cleaned and sanitized. We have been staying at different State parks since may 5th and most of their showers would fail inspections ~
