Darien Lakes State Park

The state park campground is well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. Jayne, Marsha, and Patty along with park manager Chad were amazing. The older female groundskeeper was such a sweetheart and went above and beyond her job duties to make sure we felt safe, welcome, and taken care of. I can't wait to visit again when the season starts back up in May. Too bad the camping season ended on October 10. I could've stayed all year if it were possible. 10/10. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Nice, very clean campground except the showers. The water isn't very hot. Not being able to connect to water was an inconvenience too but we knew that going in, it was going to be tough. We thought we'd just shower at the bathhouse it would be fine for a few days but the showers luke warm and pretty miserable. That's why I only gave 4 stars. Other than that I'd say great little park to stay in. The beach area is nice. And the play grounds everywhere throughout the park are a nice addition. There are plenty of picnic tables and several covered pavilions to have gatherings or birthday parties overlooking the water which is nice. The water is very clear for a lake. My dogs loved the water.
Over all very clean park. Plus for being close to groceries and restaurants.

We visited in the fall as the leaves were changing color. Very pretty.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS: Darien Lakes Theme Park

Great park. Very full for Memorial Day but friendly, courteous campers. Nice large sites. Bathrooms could be expanded (another shower would be nice) attentive staff.

Very peaceful. The ground was still covered in snow, but you could tell underneath was mud. This park is known for its mud. Not too strenuous. Lots of trails to explore; especially for those trying to escape the amusement park for a while.
