October 24 My rating says it all.

August 30 Favorite Places

We love camping here. It is very peaceful and the place is very well maintained. The park staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a great place for everyone. Our grandchildren love coming here with us. We just wish they had a swimming area. That would make it perfect. But, we do love it here!! We come as often as we can.

June 27 Only Park we camp at by Barbara Cornelius

We love going to the State Park it is very peaceful, clean, security is great, well lighted, very friendly workers. I would rate White Oak State one of the Best. If you are looking for a place to go and sit and watch the Fish and Ducks right outside your Camper Window then this is the place to go.
