Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park

Weekend getaway

First time RV'ing. We only stay about 60 miles away so we packed up and drove to this park for a weekend break.

We arrived after dark, greeted by rangers who have us a map of the park (keep it - comes in handy).

Sites are huge. Each site can easily fit 2 rv's on it - easily. So nice privacy from others.

Using map we walked about 3 miles (round trip) to the end to 'big lake Johnson' ... Only to find big lake Johnson is dried up. lol. Has been for years. So save yourselves a mile or so and head towards the picnic area.

This is a large open space with playgrounds, restrooms, cooking facilities. (There's even vending Machines for drinks and snacks).

Restrooms were ok. Clean. Good hot water in showers.

Use the map to find trails and shortcuts. Have fun exploring. We saw hawks, eagles and deer.
We would revisit...overall. Good job.
