2012 - Hueston Woods State Park, Oxford, OH

Anna's synchronized swimming team made the 2012 national competition located in Oxford, OH.  Rather than having the expense of four nights worth of hotel rooms, we pulled the camper along and camped at Hueston Woods State Park, which is located just a couple of miles north of town.

The park seemed to have it all and the facilities were as nice as anything I've seen within Minnesota's state park system.  The park, located on the shores of Acton Lake, has a swimming beach, a marina, mountain bike trails, hiking trails, a lodge with a swimming pool, and even offers horse back riding (horses provided).  Hueston Woods has a prehistoric side to it where the park is littered with fossils.  The fossils are so plentiful here that it's even legal to gather and take home your own collection.

Hueston Woods State Park was a very pleasant experience.  I believe the entire family had a great time at this park as we could all find something to do.  If the park wasn't 750 miles from home, we would definately visit the park again.
