Area is close to beach/lake area and has lots of tables to sit.Experience is usually great but upon arrival another group was under our shelter and I had to wait on them to move all their items as well as move vehicles.Group made a mess in the shelter that I had to clean up before I could decorate for my party, was really angry because the reserved sign was up and I had paid but this group disregarded that and set up anyway.

Great spot to have a birthday but price is a little to much because your paying for the whole day and will only be there for 3-4 hours and someone gets to sit after you free don’t like that at all

We rented a pavilion for my daughter and future son in laws engagement party. The pavilion had everything we needed including water and electricity. They two large grills were perfect for cooking all our food and the view of the lake was beautiful. Bathrooms were clean(but no soap for hand washing) and a little bit of a walk from the pavilion. Not a big deal for most, but if you have anyone with walking issues they would need to drive to the restroom.

Thank you for a wonderful anniversary/ family reunion. 2020 was a very hard year and my husband and I didn't get to celebrate our anniversary with family like always. Thank you for a very memorable experience. My family now wants me to do this annually.
