I arrived at Queen Wilhelmina State Park on Monday. As I drove up the mountain it became evident that all the fall color was gone. My research has stated the peak weeks were usually the last week in October and first two in November. When I checked in I was told that due to a rain storm last week all the leaves were on the ground.
Campers register at the Lodge. As I pulled up to park it became evident that this is one popular place. I barely found a place to park and I fought my way in past groups of people waiting to be seated at the Lodge Resturant. There were tour buses and private vehicles everywhere. It was 1:30pm and I was glad to have gotten here a little late since it was so crowded.
The campsites are extremely close together as you can see in the photo above. Some have only a few feet between them. The camping area is small as is the park. Fortunately I have the sites on both sides of me vacant since I arrived so I haven't felt cramped. The sites are long enough to be able to park in front of the camper in most cases and the pads are for the most part level. Picnic tables and firepits are behind the campers. I find this layout less appealing than having the tables in front.
The view is excellent. Mountains can be seen on both sides of the camp and trees are plentiful. The sites are very well maintained and stairs or paved walkways lead to the picnic tables.
The shower and restrooms are some of the cleanest I have seen. The building is excellent condition and is located mid way down the long line of RV sites.
My camp site is located across from the bath house.
