Huntington State Park sits on the banks of the Huntington Reservoir which was constructed in 1966. It is a quaint little campground with just 25 camp sites and one restroom facility. The campground could use a little more work and better planning for the sites. Electrical service was recently installed for all the sites, but was not yet functioning for our weekend - which was too bad because it was a cold weekend and we could have used the furnace. We stayed in the pull-through Site #4 which we called the "Houdini Site" because it was so small it was practically nonexistent. We were really just camping in the loop road with our step stool in the road. The brand new electrical and water hook ups were on the wrong side of the site so you had to park the trailer at the front of the site and then park the truck behind the trailer. And the water hook up was so close to the ground that I couldn't attach the water filter. The nice ranger said they plan to re-pour most of the concrete pads for the picnic tables and will carve out a little more space for Site #4 in the future. I hope they consult with someone who camps before they do more work in the park. We did the 2.7 mile "nature walk" loop around the reservoir which was basically a walk on a gravel road.
