The pavilions are not well kept and not clean, cobwebs everywhere on the benches and the benches are very rusty (i hope i dont have to get a tetanus shot just from sitting at one of the benches from how much rust was on it) , wasps and spiders pretty much took over the pavilions and the bathrooms. Spiders all over the bathroom, wasp nests on the bathroom walls. The brick stoves at both pavilions are broken and unusable. It is evident that no one takes care of the pavilions anymore nor cleans the bathrooms. At the second pavilion where the tree swing is the water source does not work at all and doesn't appear to be connected to anything. The bathrooms are not air conditioned and are incredibly uncomfortable to be in for periods of time due to the summer heat and the light cover in the men's bathroom is broken. Update 07/20/23: trash cans are overflowing, grass in much of the park is overgrown, toilet paper is always out in the bathrooms, in the men's bathroom the shower is broken and does not function. Only shower that works in the park is the women's side. the park manager won't do anything about fixing these problems and the park is also not very well lit at night and it's dangerous to drive at night for anyone who have issues with night driving. Both pavilions have spiderweb everywhere including under the tables and have wasp nests which can be a danger for anyone allergic to bee or wasp stings. My mother got bit on the foot by a spider at one of the pavilions and we are lucky it wasn't a brown recluse (fiddle-back) because she got sick for a while afterward. The manager is not very friendly towards dog owners and often blames them for issues with the park.

(Update August 17 2023)

I found out that someone contacted code enforcement and animal control on me and my mom and our animals even though we were only there for a little bit for a picnic. Mike may have called on us, we also found out someone has been making false rumors about us and constantly stared at us.

I will never return to this park and I suggest no one gives them any business because they do not maintain this park very well and the lake is filled with dangerous levels of algae. The swing is unsafe and chains damaged and we also had someone impersonate a code enforcer twice threatening us. Do not camp here because they will charge people who aren't local twice as much as someone who lives locally. Don't let your dogs drink the water from this park, my dogs got very sick from drinking the water from the rv slots water spickets. I honestly hope my dogs don't die from the water there because I will take Mike to court.
