Quick, easy, well kept, perfect trip from the southwest metro. Dint expect a ton of privacy is the main detractor, but so convenient!

Some of the places around the lake were closed off due to construction, but the camping and beach access were open so you could still go fishing or use the trail systems if you wanted. The beach was nice and clean despite the seaweed everywhere on that side of the lake. Great place for family fun

Excellent campground! It was nice and clean and quiet. People were observant of the quiet hours. Park employees, local police and Sheriff's Deputies made regular trips through. We would definitely stay here again!

The lake was great. Great for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. The vault toilets could be cleaned daily to improve. One of the vents was broken on of them- the stench was very strong. Porta Potties ran out of toilet Saturday night- I’m glad we brought some otherwise we would have been in trouble.

This place is great! We've been here twice. Once in a regular campsite and most recently at one of the "bike-in" sites. Both were well kept and clean. The amenities in terms of beach access, playground and hiking trails are plentiful. I loved the "bike-in sites". Easily accessable from the Three Rivers trail system with many signs leading the way, the sites had a fire ring, build in hammock poles, a bike rack, trash cans and a food locker. The bathrooms were only a few feet away as well. The bike sites are non-reservable so you just show up, pay the fee and you're all set.

This campsite has won me back to the possibility of camping. The spots were well manicured, and the amenities were well kept. The workers were painting the enclosures while we were there. The beach was beautiful. The only problems we found were the bugs. We were eaten alive by mosquitoes and flies. Otherwise, it was a very peaceful place.

It's a good place to go if you want simple camping. You can reserve a campground 1 year away and the one amazing site always goes booked for a year. They have bike trials so bring a bike. Sometimes you can rent one from them. You can rent a canoe too. Beach and playground. No electricity sites but they have a few that let you bring a generator. This isn't a place I'd recommend bringing the kids on 4th of July weekend. It does tend to get loud and obnoxious.

Great place to spend time with family

HIGHLY DON’T RECOMMEND if you have a camper and use a generator. Only 5 site are allowed to have generators, and they make you turn them off at 10. Everyone is spaced very close together. I feel like this is more of a campground if you want to tent it or use a pop up camper.

First camping experience for us. Parked our truck and boat easily. Plenty of room for the tent. Even had some rain but everything dried very fast. Awesome set up!!

Great camping area. We loved the swimming area (very clean and we could bring our floating toys). There isn't a life guard. This is definitely a family friendly area with a large park, volleyball area, and restrooms scattered around. Looks like you can rent kayaks and canoes, too.

Great campsite for families! Relatively quiet and big lots! The beach is really nice with a fishing pier and dock for canoe/kayak rentals. Hiking trails around Carver Park Reserve are great for kiddos as well!
