What People Are Saying About John James Audubon State Park

“Audubon State Park has a lot to offer: camping, cabins, lake, golf course, and the museum. The campground, however, shows wear. It’s a small campground, crammed next to a busy highway at the park’s entrance. Many sites were deeply shaded and had paved pads, but the pads weren’t very wide and some are quite short. Companion vehicle parking is available with some sites on a separate paved pad. Not sure that detail is noted on the reservation form, so it might be best to call. One bath house present and a small, one-hole dump station. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, departed late Monday morning and never saw a host to check us in. There might have been camp wifi, but we didn’t have the code. We paid for our night via the after hours drop box. Parking at the museum is limited, but it’s a short walk from the campground. Interior roads are quite narrow, so it’d be best to drive a tow around the park. We used this campground as an overnight stop because we had a favorable impression when we stayed at the cabins 10 years ago. Now I’m not so sure I’d return again with an RV due to the cramped and noisy conditions and overall wear of the property. We camped at John James Audubon State Park in a Motorhome.” – Flying Mantis, RV Park Reviews
