Very nice park, clean and well manicured. Weather wasn't great, but you couldn't help that.

Campground was clean and well attended and we enjoyed it a lot. The big issue was that the water hookup to the site was putting out stagnant water that smelled like rotten eggs for 2-3 of our first days of camping. By day four the smell finally went away. Thankfully we brought bottled water with us as I did not trust drinking or cooking with the campsite water due to its smell. Needless to say showering was not great either due to the smell.

This was our first time camping here. The park was nice and clean. The kids really enjoyed the beach. We were also able to take a couple of bike rides around the campground.

Everything at Coles Creek was great. The only problem we had was finding a place to fish from the bank. There are rocks all around the bank, so was very difficult.

When we first got there the grass was high but was mowed a couple of days later. I would camp there again.

My grandson was camped next to me and went up to asked the host for another hang tag for his girlfriend and was told that he already had two and couldn’t get another one. When did hang tags become so valuable. By the way I hosted for two years at jenning ferry in alabama and never had a problem handing out tags
