This park is wonderful. Rented a Pavillion for a party. Large space, tables and grill. The beach or swim area is well maintained. Life guard on duty. Clean restrooms. Lots of trails and bike paths. Great back on rv spots. I stayed in a tent. Large tent spots, well shaded, fire pit. Bathhouse. Great view if the lake. Serene, perfect place to relax

It is very quiet and lots of hiking trails, a beach area, lots of space for our 39' 5th wheel, full services, picnic table and fire pit. We were here the end of January on our way to Arizona and again on our way back home in April.

Went this past Saturday, March 5, 2022. Park is clean and very family friendly. Unfortunately, we had to leave because my friend's son ended up breaking his leg, but they gave us a voucher to come back and try again. We are excited to go back. The bathrooms at the tent site are super clean and they have showers. The paved trail around the lake is well kept and clean. There's a playground for kids. Overall, the short time we were there, we had fun. Highly recommend.

Very nice park... they are in the process of updating the sites. Along the lake most of the sites are extra wide with nice concrete pads. The new pull thrus are narrow but still concrete with full hookups.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Annette Mercer | May 29, 2018
Ghislain Nono Gueye | May 30, 2018

If you mean the beach area (not sure whether there is any other place at the park where you can swim), it's only open on saturdays and I don't think it's really a place for "swimmers". You will usually see families bathing in the water on weekends.

what is the fee for a pull thru 50 amp space for 1 night

Kathy Deason | May 29, 2018
Texas Forester | May 30, 2018

25-30 per night, many sites are lakeside
