Killens Pond State Park Campground Entrance

Beautiful area with plently of trails, a bridge with pond area as well as a children's playground area. I always take my dog to walk on the trails for exercise (for both of us)...its always a quiet trek through the woods with beautiful scenery and a great experience but on our last visit 2 weeks ago (mid May) when we got home I noticed a eraser size tick on my dogs back, then another on his chest...so I took him outback at home and went over him with a pair of tweezers and picked 38 ticks off of him, most of them around his paws/toes with them being no bigger then a pinhead so he must have walked into a ticks nest during our 1hr and half walk...some were bigger eraser sized ticks and easier to pick off of him but the tiny ones were more difficult to remove. Took 3 hrs to pick all of them off and two baths later he was good and he is on flea/tick medication as well, I had no ticks on me though. I would suggest if walking your dog there or even for yourself to be aware of ticks, the ticks my dog got on him were Deer Ticks, a carrier of Lyme disease and I was just shocked at the number of ticks I pulled off of him on a 1hr and half walk. Other then this it's a great place for walks, just make sure to check for ticks on yourself, your kids and pets.

We had a great weekend on a camping trip here. Great wooded sites and relaxing setting. Pond is good for fishing or trail walking.

Pretty much horrible. The park has a water park that is not acceptable by the campground. 3 of the hottest days of camping , can't go to water park, because of over capacity. I understand that it's open to the public. But I'm paying for the campsite. Why not campers first then public. You can tell me how many people are at my site. Then you know how many campers you have , then add the public.
