My husband and I selected Pickett State Park for a weekend of tent-camping, in spite of never having been there before. We arrived at the campground at about 6:30 pm on a Friday evening, to a small campground that was probably about 2/3 full. (All sites are first-come, first-serve). As we circled the campground twice, we noticed that nearly all... more
