My family loves this location! Our favorite at Kerr Scott Lake. We enjoy the swim area, and rent the large picnic area for parties often! Bathrooms and showers are close by, as well as a park for the children to play on. Great place to enjoy some family time!

We had an awesome stay, 9/8 -9/18. It was very peaceful , we stayed on site 18 . The host were nice ,,bath-house was clean with lots of hot-water. Pay attention to the size of sites , we saw some smaller ones , we have a 38' 5er . Some sites you have to back up hill to get in. With America The Beautiful senior pass it was half price $12 a night. We will return.
