My family’s and I’s favorite waterpark. It’s not super packed and the slides are all very fun. No long wait and short lines. The wave pool is so amazing, the waves are big and strong. Full of laughter. They also allow you to bring your own food and drinks.

I love Splashway. I love their camp grounds and activities for the whole family. It's close to home, and it's family oriented and pet friendly. And the water is at just the right level for everyone. My great grandson loved the children water area by the pool. He is 3 and he didn't want to leave. My heart was over joyed just to see him having so much fun. And the food concessions are great. Great job Splashway! Keep growing. Thank you ❤🥰❤️

Very clean water park, great for families! The toddler section was really well done and we loved the lazy river. Our cabin was tinier than we expected but it was still good and very clean. Decently priced, good portion food size and very friendly staff. Can't wait to visit again! There are other things to do at the campgrounds and some of them do cost extra (mining, putt putt, laser tag, arcade).

Sunday to celebrate a birthday. Our first time, so make sure to complete waivers ahead of arriving. Also, purchase tickets on-line ahead of time. For a Sunday was not too busy, was expecting to navigate through lots of people, but surprisingly walkways and lines went smoothly. Rented a cabana, would highly recommend this since I provides for a spot to call home. Has a table, chairs, covered, and walls between each cabana. The area for small kids was very good, allowed for slides and water pools. The large slides are spread out on the grounds, with each tower having at least four different ride options. Be prepared to step on a scale at each tube ride, and make sure everyone is taller than 48", we saw people turned away. Very family friendly destination, had spiritual music playing throughout the grounds. The lazy river has a nice current speed to keep everyone moving. Very enjoyable experience. We did not purchase any food or drinks, but that option is there. We brought our drinks and food in coolers and moved them with a wagon. There was also an intermission where the national anthem was played and recognition to veterans were announced. Nice patriotic touch.

I had heard about this waterpark through coworkers but I was very skeptical. My daughter finally convinced me to take them and we went the Sunday before Memorial Day and I was pleasantly surprised. The park has lots of big oak trees throughout the park that helped tremendously with the heat. The park was also well kept and parking was very easy to find & a short walk to the entrance. I got a cabana for $200 and thought it was reasonable. The ONLY thing I didn’t like was ordering Pizza. The staff lost the tickets & it took like 45 minutes to get mozzarella sticks, there were lots of flies by the pick up area and the pizza didn’t taste good. The park has lots of options for all ages. I would recommend it. The wave pool was a lot of fun & the lazy river was also a lot of fun, although it gets crowded
