Reviewed By tagnrocky - Noblesville, United States

We camped here for one night. Our campsite, #7 was beautiful and private. It was right on the lake with a swing, in addition to the fire pit and grill. Restrooms were clean and there was a boardwalk, a fishing dock, trails and playground. Very nice park. (Only 15 campsites so make a reservation).

Current exhibit "Memphis Design" is outstanding and this musuem has curated it very well. Several pieces owned by David Bowie make up this collection representing Ettore Sotsass, De Lucci, M. Graves, P. Shire,etc. The video going along with the exhibit is very professionally done and very informative. A really good way to spend a couple of hours....you won't regret it!
