Have camped here but we mostly come just for the pool. By noon, there is enough shade over the pool for ~4 people to stay out of the sun. It just gets more shady as the day goes on, which is perfect for me tender and pale Scottish skins. Bugs fall into the pool a lot from the shade trees, but that's easy to deal with. Pool is SUPER cold which is refreshing on a triple digit day. Please call to verify the day use fee for yourself but I don't think we have ever paid more than $20-30 total.
