We reserved this pavilion for a family reunion. We drove 52 people to this site and got there in the heat of the day expecting it to be a nice shady spot for our dinner and close to the reservoir for swimming. The pavilion was beautiful, but NOT ONE TABLE under it. There were a few picnic tables cemented to the ground outside the pavilion (in the sun), but nowhere to sit or set up dinner in the pavilion. The reservoir was about a mile (or more) away.
