Nice camp ground. Clean and well maintained. Employees are very helpful. Bathrooms are well maintained.
They have a nice gift and grocery store and the ice cream is good.
Camp sites are nice. They have a lot of sites with water and electricity.
The lake is nice, you can rent boats and kayaks.
I LOVE this place... The lake is amazing... The scenery is gorgeous and the ice cream and the store are the BEST!!!
My ONLY complaint about this place is the restrooms... Disgusting... And not enough... I've never ever seen lines for the bathrooms like this in my life... There absolutely needs to be more bathrooms added...
We went camping in October and it was peaceful. The camp grounds are some of the cleanest with so much to offer. They have a out door work out area with a rock climbing wall, movies on the beach, and the shop has some delicious giant ice cream.
Collin’s Lake has the best ice cream, espresso, and gift shop! If you decide to go to the picnic area there’s a nice playground and beach swimming area.
There’s also wonderful campsites with restrooms and cabins. The boating and fishing is awesome too! It’s a good place to get away from cell phones. Easter Sunday has a sunrise service on the beach. Plan your camping trip early and save your spot! They also offer season passes for frequent visitors.
