I was disappointed that I paid $90 for a shelter and arrived and some other people where their because no one put the reserved sign down they did leave but we had to wait but if the reserved sign would have been down we wouldn’t have had this issue

I would have gave it a 5 star but the area under shelter had a lot of debris But the worse thing was they took some of the trash out of cans and didn’t change bags so when it got hot it smelled bad. Some of the bags looked like they had not been change for a month or more
Also you need to put the name of people who reserved the shelter. Had someone come and tried to get us to leave saying it was theirs
The area is a beautiful place and I love the new bathrooms.

It was great, like always. Someone left trash laying around but other than that it wasn't bad

Kind of expensive for just a pavilion and it needs to be updated but I would recommend.
