Not good.. the park service is WAY behind on maintaining this place. The porta-john was disgusting before during and after the labor day weekend.. love the mudhole at the entrance..
No trails, just dirt and sand roads. If driving, best to have a high clearance 4WD vehicle. Look for pygmy pines near Spring Hill!
Pretty interesting drive around the pines. Decently groomed dirt roads and a few tricky spots with thicker sand and small puddles. Never needed 4wd, and got nice and turned around for 30 minutes or so. Lost GPS signal and did a lot of guessing to get out. Saw a fat rattlesnake on the dirt road too. Pretty cool.
Great park, plenty to do for everyone.
Found some of the best mud puddles in the great state of NJ. The mud was just cloudy enough to perfectly capture the shadow of the dragonflies coasting across the surface. The wind whistled through the pines. The sun beat down so strong allowing us to catch a glimpse of a future time when the puddles had all dried to caked remnants of what once was a beautiful fifteen minutes spent skipping rocks in the middle of the forest.
