The park was clean and the park hosts were friendly. It was nice that the swim area was open. There happened to be an arts and crafts fair with live music on Saturday in Coldspring. It's not every weekend, but check it out.

Nice place to relax during week, friendly camp hosts, the trail around the lake needs repair but know that takes money, if parents bring kids in that want to play team sports , suggest an area that is away from roads and rv sites

We stay at this park several times of the year and we really enjoy our stay each time. The only downside is the poor cell reception which is great for disconnecting from the digital world,

Leeches in the swimming area! Beware! Camp hosts are aware but don’t warn the campers. Horrific.

We stayed mid-week so campground was very quiet. A few things felt like they could use some TLC but overall we enjoyed our stay. We were unable to see many pictures so did not know what to expect. We did not use the restrooms or showers so can't comment on those buildings.
