Charles Lindbergh state park

Charles A. Lindbergh State Park         
Sep 23-25

10e
15 electrical sites
7 miles of Hiking Trails




When picking site it is nice to know you are not just steps away from a well traveled trail.   Site 10e is too close to the trail for us.

Just behind this spot are steps to lead to an overlook to Pike Creek.  
Located within the park is a historical land marks.  Once home to Congressman Charles August Lindbergh. This was small farm where Charles's wife and son son Charles Lindbergh lived full time for many years.  Charles Lindbergh is famous for flying Spirit of St. Louis solo non-stop from New York to France in 1927.
There are 15 electrical sites.  Dump station is open seasonally.   

The family donated to the state 110 acres including the house and farm in the memory of Charles Lindbergh.  Now the park has 570 acres of land with 7 miles of hiking trails. 

Fall camping is wonderful with a fifth wheel camper and electric hook ups.    But the non electrical loop has trees and questionable obstacles to maneuver around.

There is plenty of room for a camp fire to sit around and tree to shelter from the passerby.   

    
Our spot was 10e but next time because of the trail we would pick 11e.  And for backing in there isn't much of an issues because the road's turn helps you back in.
