    Pleasantly surprised on how beautiful this park is! The upper campground spots are mostly private and spaced apart & perfect for the solo & couples . Lower campground is close to playground, swimming pond and is wide open camping. Perfect for families. The park has a wide range of trails, level 1(paved or flat) on up to level 3 ( dirt/rock and steep in parts). The Rangers we're absolutely wonderful! I had a mostly flat tire and they fixed me up at their maintenance facility. I'll be back to Camden State Park!

    Beautiful State Park. The park rangers where very kind. They let me set up camp early which was greatly appreciated! And I seen them drive through the campground often. Upper Campground was very quiet ( site #82) and spaced nice with privacy. Hiking Club trail was rugged at points but was a great hike by the river as well as prairie. The swimming pond was chilly but great way to cool off after a day of hiking. The only downside was the train that runs by the campground

    This place is beautiful! The kids could spend all day near the spring fed swimming pond. It is cold! But, feels great on a hot day. We enjoyed walking along the stream, walking the hiking paths, playing in and near the pond, and just enjoying the view and beauty of nature. We camped in the upper campground and intended to use our bikes to get around but found that not very convenient if staying in the upper campground. Too far, gravel roads, and a very steep descent into the valley. The upper campground was more private and quiet. Bathrooms/showers were nice. I will most likely try to snag a spot in the lower area if with the kids again. Easy walk to playground, trails and swim pond from there. We stayed 2 nights and wished we had one more day to explore. Will definitely come back.

    Interesting state park with lots of features. Small swimming beach is nice, water was really cold, but they can't control that. Bathrooms were clean, and appeared to be well maintained. Ranger at the park entrance was friendly and helpful, and explained about the lodge you can rent. I like that one picnic area is next to the stream, and you can access the water, especially if you have kids that want to splash around.

    Beautiful park! The swimming pond is too COLD to even wade in, but there's an awesome creek with crawdads and fish for catching! Our 3,5,7 year old had a great time!

    Beautiful park! We camped in the upper campground where it was very quiet and secluded, lower campground was pretty full and much more open between sites. The hiking was awesome, definitely will come back!

    Was surprised at how much I liked this park. Great trails in the river valley with newer signs. Big mature trees with lots of wildlife. There is tons of parking areas, good campgrounds , great day use areas and picnic areas in this park. There is a trout river that runs through it as well.

😐 Dayton State Park is a lovely little park with a historic background surrounding silver mining in the area. There are only 10 campsites and until Covid-19 hit, you could almost always find a spot. That’s no guarantee now but I suspect visitation will subside over winter with no hookups at the park....
