We have never had any sort of issues here and we visit year-round. There are campsites but we have never camped out, therefore, I cannot personally review them but they do seem to be nice from what I have seen in passing. In the winter, the park is more scarce and not as busy as summertime. If you plan on staying, I would recommend booking in advance, especially around the holidays. It is a beautiful spot to watch the fireworks on the fourth of July weekend as you can view them in nearly every direction for hours shooting across the water. I personally enjoy going and setting alongside the shore near the boat ramps. People usually fish along there. Walking the shoreline, you can easily collect "seashells." Overall, Bernice State Park is a very peaceful and serene area with beautiful scenic views of the lake. It is the perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle of life without being too far from home or the city. Even if you just want to catch an evening sunset over the water or stargaze at night and bask under the moonlight, Bernice is the place to be. I highly recommend it. Be sure to experience it for yourself!"

Shade all day, and unobstructed view of the lake. Would make for easy canoe or kayak entry. Lots of birds, white pelicans, hawks, sea birds, geese. Small nature center with souvenirs and some misc goods. Paved trail as well. Verizon 5G streaming for entire stay. Will be back."
