Fantastic view! Easy to access facilities and amenities. The area was very clean and well maintained. Our only suggestion would be for improvements to the swimming area with sand. The swimming area is pretty mucky, but we still had a good time in the water.

It is a gorgeous spot, right on the water. Very close to the swimming spot, has a big charcoal grill (we brought our own propane grills so idk how good it is), it is a large space with plenty of tables to hold a bunch of people. Everyone loved it when we went.

When I arrived there were people using the area I had reserved. I had to get a Parks Ranger to get them to leave. This inconvenienced my guests that I had invited !!! There needs to be something to prohibit this. A mere sign and phone number to call is NOT ENOUGH !
