A mouth watering array of treats to try

Okie Dokie Baking is now serving delicious treats at Jamaica State Park! If you have a sweet tooth or just need some refueling after going for a hike or taking a swim, be sure to follow your nose to the baked goods table. We're glad the owner John Kurland decided to take up a place in Jamaica. John creates mouthwatering combinations of the best quality freshest ingredients using local fruit and vegetables, real butter, real milk, and real eggs- ingredients that are simple and authentic.

All the pies, muffins, cakes and cookies are made by hand one at a time. John has a long history with baking, see a short description from his website of how he got his start below.

A sample of their menu

John started baking with the apples from his own front yard. They were the perfect apples for baking, staying crisp and flavorful. He combined the flavors of apples, sour cream, and walnuts and created an awesome crust. At first, he baked for the family but then they started to ask him to make pies to take home. Entering his pies and muffins in the Bondville VT Country Fair in 2009 he won all the Blue Ribbons they had. Because he had already taken all the Blues, he went on to enter more fairs and to win more ribbons.

See for yourself why he wins so much by visiting Jamaica and the Okie Dokie Bakery soon! Enjoy every bite!

Jamaica has 41 tent/trailer camp sites and 18 lean-to sites that are spread out through the campground. Two rest rooms, complete with hot showers ($), are in the campground as well. A picnic shelter and nature center are located near the picnic area and swimming hole. A hiking trail follows the West River and branches off toward Hamilton Falls.
