Great day swimming with friends! Wear sun screen!! Bring a canopy for shade in this crazy hot weather! Don't forget to bring a float to relax on! It says no alcohol but we saw someone get off a boat with a beer bottle in hand! 🔥
Love staying at cabins every year. Had a few slight problems. A family members stove burners not all working and also one of the families fridge freezer in the cabin didn't ever freeze. Also could had used some bush trimming and weedeating that obstructed the water view.
The Waterpark was fun and clean but that's the only positive part of my review.
We stayed in a camp house for 2 days and it was miserable. There were German roaches, the ac unit barely cooled down the cabin and it was super small.
The reservation lady told me that pots, pans and dishes were included but the cabin was bare when we arrived.
We were constantly cleaning and killing german roaches.
The flooring through half of the cabin was missing.
The bunk beds had cracks in the wood that held it to the wall.
The doors had zero weather stripping so the cool air was being sucked out as it was blowing.
The sink had a leak in the cabinet below.
The stove fan did not work.
I know the TV was a bonus but the speakers were busted and the TV was the size of a laptop.
Update: Came back for our yearly august trip that got delayed due to the temp and burn ban. Burn ban was unfortunately still in effect and it got chilly enough a campfire would've been nice. Also we were not able to get our usual sites together and we're spread through the park. It was still a good experience, as always we stay in the RV section but only have tents. One group does rent a cabin, but I've never been in one. I didn't hear anything bad other than bring your own bedding and maybe a mattress pad/topper. Sites were clean, although the one I was staying on was hilly and basically ended up in the drainage ditch (def checked the weather). We had several families between 3 sites, with one by the beach. I'm guessing it's being remodeled, but the restroom by the beach was locked up the duration of our trip. The other restrooms were in cleanish, working conditions. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Between here and PBJ, this is by far the superior campground. The sites looked better and we're not as close together. Even with a mostly full park and ppl even having Halloween decorations out, it felt less cramped. Interactions with the park rangers were night and day. They were helpful instead of harassing us. We were admonished for not having our dogs on a leash, but that was it. Saw them driving around but they let the guests be. No complaints about 'too many units(tents)' @our sites. Everyone agreed this was the better experience, and a highly recommended campsite in general.
My first time here. Just did primitive camping with several groups. The group I was with does this every year. Got a site next to the beach. We brought all our gear but there are rentals nearby. Except for all the canoeing, jogging, kids and dogs it was very relaxing! One odd thing was while there were plenty of birds, we did not notice any squirrels or raccoons.
