The pavilion was perfect for our small family get together! Great location to the beach and fishing docks. and we docked the boat so we could take the kids tubing. It started raining so I'm really glad we had the Pavilion for cover. It kept food and other stuff dry. Bonus is it has electricity for crockpots and a fire pit for small bon fire!!
One negative is we had several people (not part of our group)walk thru the pavilion to the fishing dock. Would have been nice if there would have been a sign posted that said private party. Overall great experience in a great facility.
