Located on the shores of Lake Zoar, Kettletown State Park offers a beautiful campground with a shady picnic area. Both forest and field sites are available, and although none of the sites have hook-ups, there's a rustic cabin you can stay in if you want a bit of extra comfort. Campers with the correct permits are welcome to fish in the lake, but swimming is not allowed because of poor water quality. However, if you want to cool off, there's a small creek with several pools where you can dip your feet. A parking fee is charged on weekends and holidays
