We reserved the Cove pavilion and wanted to spend some time at the swimming area in the park. We were told at the gate that our reservation did not include any other ammenities other than the use of the Cove. I feel that if you pay $70 for the day, you should be allowed to use the swimming area as well. Probably will not reserve this again. When at a lake, you want to swim in a secure area.

The Deer are awesome. They are not afraid and the lay everywhere. Nice greeters the deer are.
The grass could be mowed more frequently than it is. Other Belton Lake CoE parks like Live Oak, in the area are better maintained. I think adding a third Host with a mower or a tractor mower would make the park more attractive. Had a fellow camper actually bring out HIS weed eater to use around his campsite.

The electric did not work and could not get anyone to assist so we had to end 2 hours early d/t losing light and power in our electronics. The bathrooms were locked and there were only 2 porta potties for 2 pavilions with full parties. The smell and cleanliness was very nasty and they had not been emptied in a long time. They don’t allow you to access the swim or fishing areas even though you pay $70 per day to use the pavilion. Very disappointed in the conditions and access at a COE campground. None of this was disclosed on the website or when we checked in.

Lady at gate entrance was very rude, she argued with me over my reservation because she wouldn’t listen to what I was saying.
Bathrooms were dirty. Cabin door latch broken, had to bungee cord it closed. Cabin condition was bad all the way around.
Fishing was ok, didn’t catch anything but perch.
I won’t be back

Lovely little park. Super clean sites. Peaceful and tranquil. Love the local wildlife. Having deer every morning and evening just relaxes the soul. And the surrounding area around the lake is beautiful. Not overpopulated. You can actually enjoy the scenery.
