We hosted a birthday party here, and it was perfect. There was plenty of seating, enough privacy, and swings for the littles. Water access is close. There was a good-sized little field where you can play games or just throw ball. The parking is great. There is a loop that controls traffic flow, so it's not chaotic. And for anyone hosting, you can pull your car up right next to the grill and shelter to unload coolers and party decorations. I think the max capacity of cars was 20 but definitely check that before booking. We had about 15 people at this get together. BEAUTIFUL view. I would definitely recommend utilizing this space for cookouts, group activities, parties, yoga groups, etc. WHAT TO BRING: Portable Chargers (no electricity), Toilet Paper (there are bathrooms, but never guaranteed to be stocked with toiletries)

Very little toilet paper in the ladies' restroom. Since we have used this site before, one of the group brought a roll of toilet paper for our group.
The people who collected garbage arrived just in time.
Otherwise, everything was fine.
