Our church event was great success. The venue is a big factor. There are three grills nearby and a huge grill grate for lamb-size. It is quite private and have electricity.
The restrooms are very clean.
We walked down to the lake. Multiple trails nearby.
We plan to go back for sure even it is not close to our church.
Suggestion: need to fix the confusion regarding its address in Google Map. Many of us were routed to a trailhead instead of going 1 minute further down the road.

Nice place for a little family gathering. Close to the lake. Not crowded at all. Area was clean with running water and bathrooms. Will be reserving the pavilion again next year!

It was a great success for my dad's surprise 80th birthday. Folks struggled with finding the address but eventually got there. The rangers were great both before and after the event. Prior, that it was open and ready to go. Afterwards, we accidentally threw away an important card, BUT it was retrieved! Great job everyone!!

When I got there, the pavilion was full with other people and a park ranger had to be called. I would suggest that a sign be posted that makes it more clear that the pavilion must be reserved. Besides that, we loved the location and would book it again no problem.
