Van Pugh Park

Great place to camp. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors. We camped here last year and had a blast! The only thing that concerns me is the times you are aloud to enter and leave the park. Other than that it was a great experience.

Nice peaceful park to enjoy the lake and have a picnic.

I came here with my family on a gloomy sort of day. I thought it was going to be a rainy day, but it didn’t! Whoo hoo!!!
Just watch out when you’re on the grass, though. I found a lot of huge fire ant colonies all over the park! Wouldn’t want to get bitten by one of those!!! They HURT!!! Another thing is that in one of the bathroom stalls in the women’s bathroom, the second stall is malfunctioned. I flushed it once and it would not stop flushing meaning the water in the toilet bowl kept on swirling round and round. So annoying! Then in the first stall, when I tried to bush the flush button there were water coming out from it! Icky! Ew!!! Gross!!! They should really fix their toilets! The third stall was also broken, because there were poop water in the toilet and couldn’t flush either! YUUUUCK!!! Other than that, the bathroom had mirrors, two sinks with one hand soap. Thankfully, there was SOAP!!! Oh and the toiletries had toilet tissue which was great, too!
The lake was a lovely sight to see. The park included a playground and a place where you can grill your food on! The griller was still new and hasn’t been used! Lucky us!
I took lots of pictures of this park! Yes, yes. I also took pictures of the men’s bathroom, because there weren’t any OTHER people at this park. I’m SO ADVENTUROUS?! Is going inside the men’s bathroom a crime? I hope not. What I noticed with the men’s room was that they had no mirrors. What if they had tissue stuck on their butt? Ha ha ha! Not very likely, but you never know!
I went to the lake side. it was low tide and saw that there were a lot of empty clam shells everywhere! The birds must’ve been starving or something! Later in the day, we saw two people with shovels. I was guessing that they were going «clam hunting». But I don’t think that’s allowed here. –gasps– Oh! They were breaking the law?! Maybe? Oooo bad bad!
Overall, they also had a shelter for reservations only (large group of people for parties and such). The shelter also had a fire place! Cooooool!!!
We kept hearing crows cawing every few minutes! They were so LOUD! I copied them and for a while they stopped their cawing! Ha ha ha! It was funny!
