Nice shelter with short walks to great scenery. Restrooms and playgrounds were right at the shelter.
Plenty of activities for the whole family with many trails at the park, many overlooks throughout the park. The barbecue grills were big. All of the group had a wonderful time.

What an awesome place for my son's 1st birthday. Everybody had a great time and it was a beautiful day. All the kids played on the swings and the shelter was perfect for hanging up decorations. Highly recommend.

I thought that the restrooms would be accessible since I rented the shelter, but they were “closed for the season.” I would not have rented if I had known that.

Shelter was perfect for a group our size. Restrooms and playground nearby. Kids could play within our site. We will be using this shelter again.
