The bathrooms need repair and remodeled. The showers were nasty with stinky standing water in them. The path leading to the swimming area needs to be safer. Rocks slip and roll and someone is going to fall. Hard to take children and supplies down. And don't like the fact that you have to stay 2 nights now on weekends. Otherwise love horseshoe point been going there for years. All the attendants and park rangers are very very nice and friendly and helpful.

Thank you so much to the Park Attendant Sandra for bearing the large group of us. She is so adorable to explain todo list and taking care of mischievous things done by our kids 😊.
Campsites are really good, though they are not riverfront. The temperature is bearable even in the hot summer due to 30 to 40 foot of dense pine cone trees.
Kids loved the small beach as it was not really rush may be due to less busy weekend(a week before July 4th). They spent most of their time in the water.
A negligible complaint about the bathrooms as not much light during day hours and some of showers were not functioning as expected. Please take care of it.
Our group spent most of the time together as mobile signal were very poor for any carrier. Relaxation from busy world and electronics.
We love to visit again HorseShoe point 🏕️.

Very nice campgrounds for relaxing. The 15 water/electric campsites are spaced well and all are shaded and well maintained. Our second stay at this campground in the last 5 years and it still remains a favorite for just relaxing while be surrounded by nature.
