I love Lake Skinner because it is such a beautiful location and an easy Uber ride to wine tasting if you choose to go there. Our RV Group returns every year and it is always pleasant. Cell phone coverage is tough so bring satellite internet if you have it.

We love going to Lake Skinner and have been trailer camping there for a few years now, usually for a weekend at least every other month. I'll break down our overall experience below. Camping: The trailer sites are decent, though they are somewhat packed in there. Not too bad but just know you will be close to your neighbors. We usually camp with friends and book sites facing each other. Another thing we've noticed is that getting a site on the outskirts of the camp ground you're in is better than being in the middle. There are some prime spots that get booked quickly once available. Also important, some sites have large shade trees and some have no shade at all. Stuff to do: The splash pad is amazing for those hot summer days, and seems to be the hot spot of the park. Both kids and adults have a great time hanging out here. Bring a couple towels and a beach blanket, some chairs, a cooler with food and drinks, a football/frisbee/whatever to play with, and you've got yourself a day of staying cool and having fun outside. Can't beat it! There's also a playground the kids like to visit, and of course the lake itself. Be aware there's no bodily contact allowed with the lake, but it's a good time walking on the trails all around it, fishing, and going boating if you have one or rent one. Whether you go to Lake Skinner just to camp, go fishing, hang out at/on the lake, spend the day at the splash pad, or have a picnic in the park, you're sure to have a fun and relaxing time. Highly recommend camping here or visiting for the day.

Love this place. I love how clean it is. How they have full hook ups for RVs and showered for campers with tents and they have a playground. ( only thing no shade at the playground. Slides get supper HOT) i love the trails and splash park for the kids. This place is pretty big with great prices. Going back again next month

Came here during a family reunion and it was a really nice outing. The lake is so peaceful, and some of the views were really nice. The weather was also comfortable (we went in mid-July) and there were many nice spots to pause/take breaks. Although the trails were not the easiest to see or follow, the hike was energizing. Would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an easy-moderate hike, but just be aware that there is a fee of $6 per person.

Really nice campground. The biggest issue is the LACK of bathrooms for the campgrounds. There are way too few and they are located a far walk from some of the campsites. Not sure why they don't have bathrooms on each end of each campground. Plus there are only three stalls for the entire Campground A and B. PLEASE put in more bathrooms! The splash pad is pretty great and the walking trails are fun. Lots to do for everyone.

Had a great time. The weather beautiful camp sites a little to close together. The wild life was all around but not to close. Fishing was great also.

This is a beautiful place to visit to get away from the city life. It was $12.00 to get in. Unfortunately, they do not take the veteran park pass. It's a nice place to go hiking or just sitting by the lake. I saw that there was a playground and a splash park for your kids--I guess adults too. š. We saw a campsite where you can either park your rv or put up your tent. We also noticed a small convenience store near the campsite. We're happy that they had clean restrooms around. They even had porta potty (portable toilets) around the hiking areas. There weren't any portable handwashing stations, though. Other than that, it's a beautiful place to enjoy nature.

Nice and big lake to do some walking and fishing. We visited the park on Valentineās Day Weekend 2025, beautiful weather to enjoy.

Very nice to spend the night. Heard coyotes laughing all night long. Very active nightlife if you are into that sort of thing. Beautiful lake, but please pick up your trash. I seen a disappointing amount of waste along the shoreline. You can see hot air balloons flying over in the early morning

Excellent place, quiet and relaxing environment. It has plenty of playgrounds for kids, and several picnic places. Several sitting areas and walking and biking trails. Enjoyed every minute of this.
