Guests paid $80-$90 to reserve a picnic shelter at Coles Point, but encountered issues with locked bathrooms and unsanitary conditions outside the shelter. These problems were particularly disappointing for large family gatherings. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations given the cost.

We paid $80 - $90 to reserve a picnic shelter at Cole's Point for the day. The bathrooms that are part of the shelter were locked. We found human excrement on the backside of the enclosed part of the shelter containing the bathrooms. Totally unacceptable situation when you have a large family gathering and paid for the use of the full shelter.
