★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Jonathan Farrington · Aug 2022

What’s wrong with people. Pick up your trash and put it in the garbage can! The condition and upkeep of the park was disappointing. There are a few fishing docks, but no trails lakeside. We didn’t camp, just drove in to look around. $3 fee, but the park feels neglected and forgotten by the USFS.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dan Miller · Oct 2020

Could use a little upkeep but in decent shape, one bench was missing from our picnic table. The dirt road is well maintained. Camp sites have leveled area for tent, picnic table, and fire pit. Some fire pits have a grate which can be placed over the fire.

Not a family area. No play ground for kids. Bathrooms are awful. How can the community get together and make this a family camping and fishing a better experience.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Teresa Nyberg · Apr 2018

Good reasons peaceful. Beautiful inoculation. All lakeside campsites. Most hiking trails fairly easy. Boat ramp access. Spacious picnic area. Negatives. No running water at all, all faucets have been turned off. You have to bring your own water. A local resident told us the water has been turned off for 6 yrs. Pit toilets, they ate what they are. Could be kept up better. The campsites could use more up keep as well. All in all would return with my own water and a bottle of bleach lol.

Puskus is a local campground and recreational area in the holly springs national forest. Camp sites are pretty well maintained and the park service keeps things in order. The main attraction is the lake at its center. Fishing is good here. There are docks all along the camping area where you can access the lake. There are trails in and around the park. Can be busy on the weekends.
