Deam Lake State Recreation Area

Got 2 cabins for 3 days & nights. We absolutely loved it! Always went to deam lake as a kid to swim. The cabins are so nice and cute! The whole campground is well kept, & the beach/lake area was great. But the restrooms/showers at the lake could use a good cleaning though. Restrooms/showers back at the campground was well kept and clean!! For the cabins you do have to provide your own padding, they provide only bed frames. Twin bunk beds and a queen size bed frame (says full on website but it easily fit our queen size air mattress, a full sized one would have been a bit too small.) We had a great time, we’ll be returning! 10/10 would recommend getting a cabin or even a tent site here. It’s great you’ll love it (I’ve been here once before for a shorter period of time it was just as awesome that time as this one!)

Really nice lake with swimming, boat rentals, fishing horseback riding, hiking. The beack area is loaded with picnic tables and grills and there's a place to change and shower.

Alrighty, this was our first time visiting here. For the purposes of this review, we only visited the beach area and nearby playground. Cost $9 to get in per vehicle and was a fun little beginner beach for our little ones. Sun, sand and water without the worries of the rip tide, jellyfish or rogue waves. They have a rope that keeps visitors from going too deep and out into the lake as well. It's a good spot for a summer picnic. We went around 10am and there were very few people, but as time went on, it got a little crowded when we left around 1pm. The drive for us was only about 40min, which isn't a bad drive for a fun day at the beach. It should go as no surprise, but it's really hard not to compare to an ocean beach and it definitly loses that battle. The sand was hard to build with and the water was pretty dirty and stagnant. Found a few sharp aluminum can peices in the shallows also. When we arrived, there we only a few yellow jackets which was manageable. However, once noon rolled around they were flying rampant everywhere. One of our little ones ended up getting stung. At the end of the day, if you live close I definitly reccomend visiting. Especially for first time beach goers.

A+ for bathrooms with soap! Also, it's super nice they have changing and rinse off areas. It was very useful for having little kids. I loved that they had ropes so kids couldn't go very far in the water. It's shallow though to the ropes so that's nice! Lots of tables to use. We didn't even see ALL of the area so we know there is even more cool stuff. Absolutely beautiful! We will be back for sure!
