My wife and I frequent Cole's Creek many times a year and always love our time spent there. The bathrooms are well kept and slightly air conditioned. Everyone including staff are always nice. Rangers and even Clinton county police make rounds regularly and usually manage to keep the riff raff out. We will be coming back for years to come.
