For Poinsett State Park: Averaging $22/day (rate higher on Fri&Sat) Very narrow road up to Poinsett were paved but full of potholed and tight turns. Will not fit 2 rigs travel opposite direction, so watch for possible turnout to yield to uphill traffic. Soon the paved road degraded into bumpy dirt road leading to campsites. Most sites are on dirt so it won’t be leveled, only 3 sites near the back are conveniently L-shaped and leveled with gravels. Scattered oak trees provide plenty of shades on all campsites. Bathroom looks rustic outside, but very clean and fully functional inside. Strong enough WiFi at Visitor Center and cabin, but zilch at campground. LTE is 1bar and will occasionally drop to 3G. Beautiful pond for kayaking behind visitor center complete with ruins and small waterfalls. Hilltop picnic gazebo provide shelter on sunny day, but do nothing to shield hundred of deer flies out for blood meal. Screened shelter in the middle of the campground has little book section and toys for kids. The campground has lots of trails and open spaces for folks with pooches to roam around. CCC did good job to provide rustic feel to the park. Will stay here again if we down this way.

For Poinsett State Park: This was a great destination for our family. There was a nice swimming area in the lake by the visitors center, with people renting canoes and paddle boats throughout the day. We rented two paddle boards for $5 / hour for each, and traded along the five of us. There are biking and hiking trails. The roads are fairly narrow, especially the little road up to the campground, which is one way at a time. The spots are good, and some are level, and there is a nice big open field we went to at night to check out the stars. We would go back if anywhere near the area.
