What Guests Are Saying
Cj Brown Dam and Reservoir offers a beautiful setting for family gatherings, with clean shelters and convenient access to restrooms and parking. Although there was a lack of park employee interaction this year, the overall experience was still enjoyable. The only downside was an unexpected rainstorm, but it didn't detract from the pleasant day.

We were very happy with the site. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that the reserve sign was not put up and we had to ask people
to leave the shelter. Fortunately I had paperwork and the people cooperated.

It was a nice venue for our Family Reunion. Clean grounds, and restrooms were presentable. Playground equipment was clean and safe for children to have fun. Plenty of parking and little traffic to worry about.
