"One of my favorite places to hike in the area. You can make a full day out of hiking Mt. Talbot, Stone State Park, and the Dorothy Peacut Nature Center"
"Stone State Park is kind of a hidden gem IMO. It covers a rather large area and its hiking trails are second to none ! There are even trails for horseback riding. Plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife. I've never camped here, so I can't comment on that. Great place to soothe the soul !"
"Stayed overnight on a Saturday in late September. The campground had several people camping but the place was quiet and relaxing. It was only $12 to stay in a non-electric site. In our section of the campground there was a vault toilet, but a very short away and there was access to showers and flush toilets. There are some really nice hiking trails throughout the park. There is also an overlook that you can drive or walk to. We saw three cabins that were available to rent and also some picnic areas. Great state park to visit and camp in."
"Amazing find for the locals. I wouldn’t mind travelling to get here had I stayed farther away. Stunning city views with sit out spots to lose track of time. The drive into the park/ trails is filled with canopy of trees.. The place is vast and give a great hiking experience. You can also drive up to the best view points if you choose not to walk. I happen to also notice a camping site attached to the park but haven’t experienced it yet"
"We had a very nice time at park. Did a short weekend there. Hiking, little biking and broke out our cameras. We camped at the small campground which was nice. But be warned site 10 has water run off coming from the hill. Possibly coming from shower house area. Not a good spot and site 9 had water around fire pit area too. Our 31ft toy hauler fit into site but tight squeeze and would not of fit in other spots in camp ground except for site 6-8 or 12. So just FYI for others. It was a beautiful little park we enjoyed a lot. Just the water in our camp site that gave the overall rating a 4."
