Some mention

crowdedsmall

"Prairie Lake Campground (Split Rock Creek State Park) is repeatedly described as a well‑maintained, peaceful small state park with clean restrooms/showers, roomy shaded campsites, easy walking/hiking trails, a beach and lake with docks, and friendly helpful hosts. Reviewers praise kayaking, fishing access, picnic areas and family‑friendly facilities; weekdays are quiet and relaxing while weekends can be busy. The park is small but offers a good mix of lake activities, wildlife viewing and short, well‑kept trails."
