My partner and I stayed at Sullivan lake for 3 months waiting for our new home. The only real complaint was the restrooms and showers, they need to be updated for sure. Chipped paint and black mold and cold in the fall and hot in the summer. Also the swimming area says "No Dogs Allowed On The Beach Or Water". We had mentioned that there were dogs in the swimming area, security did nothing about it. But, All in all, besides that it's a good campground to camp, beautiful scenery too. And a decent price!

Luckily, since my last time staying there a few years ago, things have changed back for the better like when our family started going there. There are still some rowdy ones (this goes beyond normal beer drinking) but NOTHING like the last time we were there which involved a group brawl, several cops on the scene and multiple arrests. My point being, I recently enjoyed an extended stay at Sullivan and it was perfect. Security has really stepped up and every gentleman on the security team that we met were so kind, informed and informative (they're dredging the lake for the 1st time ever) and they were very person able. I hope to make more and more memories through the years as we used to stay up there for weeks on end. Also, the ladies at the Gatehouse are super sweet and helpful

A nice lake to relax in! Lots of playgrounds throughout the park. Very dog friendly place AND the owners are respectful and hush their dogs when they do bark!!
