Campsite #129 was lovely! We were at the end of the road (literally) and had a view of the lake from our doorway. We walked the whole park - both trails, and all the roads from our campsite to the trails. Lake Whitney is an Army Corp of Engineers lake and the park used to be part of the military complex - in the middle of the park are 2 runways from when it may have been a glider training facility! Currently, the signs say to contact the park about using the runway but there is a model aircraft group that uses it as well. So far, this is the only airstrip and model aircraft "base" we've seen in a park! The trails are lovely, easy, as described. We birded the park too and saw some unusual birds, probably migrating.

Nearby: We didn't venture out of the park, but there are a few restaurants and bait shops in Whitney and Laguna Park.
