We had a great time! The only negative about our experience is when we arrived another group was there having a birthday party despite the sign saying reserved. In their defense the reserved sign is small and hangs underneath the sign out in the grass. My suggestion is to hang a chain across the shelter itself with a reserved sign to avoid the confusion.

We had to clean bathroom, the grass was real high. I have Lyme disease, not from here but was afraid some of my family would get it walking in the tall grass, I told my family I paid $90 to clean the restroom and should had a mower to mow . Very disappointed. Last year was nice even it cost to much with no power or no one took care of the place

Area is very beautiful and there are a lot of activities people can enjoy. Only concern is the lack of shelter grounds maintenance. Grass should be cut and trees trimmed especially near the grills. low hanging limbs are a fire hazard!
