Cliffside is one of our most well known parks because of the number of visitors
camping at the 92 site campgrounds. The camping area has electric and water sites
and can accommodate anything from tents to large RV's with slide-outs. There are

use the campgrounds for "get-away" weekends to cool off and relax by the lake. For
the non-campers, Cliffside offers baseball/softball fields, tennis, basketball and
soccer fields as well as large shelter area with picnic tables, grills and electric.
