Fun place to stay on Square Lake. Very few overnight spots available and it gets crowded on the weekends but for good reason. Most campers seem to be seasonal and that makes for a nice community. The office rents boats, paddle boards and more as well as sells ice cream and snacks. It was fun for our short stay and I'm jealous of the seasonal residents.

Love this place! It’s really looking great with the updates the new owners are making. This is the best beach to swim and so much fun for the whole family. Love the dock and slide and log roll! Oh! The ice cream is gigantic and delicious!

The staff & crew were more than helpful for our event. We're looking forward to coming back next year!

Since there is a no star rating, I would have to check this one. What a disappointment! The site to park our trailer in was smaller than anticipated and they just put fresh grass down and gravel down. It is obviously because of the flooding of that particular site. Our site was C 11. We were told by Manager Maya when we got there that only four spaces are available for daily/weekly rentals. If we knew that in advance, that would have told us so much more about this terrible place. We paid in advance for five days ($405.00!) expecting much better. The majority of the trailers there are permanent and rundown. They have obviously been there for a long while. Mud roads in/out allow you to get STUCK. NO REFUND EITHER. $405.00 what a rip-off! VERY DISAPPOINTED. RUN AWAY FROM EVEN CONSIDERING THIS CAMPGROUND. Stillwater has a reputation as an upscale community and area. This “trailer park” is an absolute P.O.S. with mud/muck/dirt/unsightly areas and junk throughout the area. Look at my photos for proof! Looking for a FULL REFUND of our $405.00 ASAP.

The people here, staff and other campers, have been amazingly friendly and helpful since we arrived. The lake is beautiful. They hosted a movie night, and no less than 5 people stopped by to make sure we were aware and invited us personally. Someone tried to park in the site next to us and was unable to pull in properly. Rather than ask staff for help (which was offered), they chose to leave and post a bad review after tearing up the gravel and grass. I will definitely be returning and enjoying more of the offered amenities.

I love love love this lake. We rented paddle boats for an hour and it was only $10!!! Definitely recommend this place as somewhere to visit. The water is super clean!

Great water reminds you of the 60's camping feel.

The lake is very clean!!! That’s the only thing good about the lake. You can only boat in the middle of the lake during certain hours or they call the sheriffs. The owner of the RV park is a money hungry troll. There are so many fees for the owners and guests!!! The rules are different for everyone who has a RV there. The owner does not want you to have a good experience or enjoy having guests to visit. The owner packs his beach so full that the actual people who rent from him can’t even have a spot on the beach. Save your money and go to the county beach where it’s only $7 for the whole car load of people instead of $9 per person in the car. The slide is terrible the log is dumb

I have been coming here since I was a kid. I absolutely love that I can bring my own kid here and it's just as beautiful and well maintained. Awesome place.

My parents had a trailer home on the property owned by their lawyer friend since I was about 20, yrs ago. Every summer we spent all our free time there. Water is so clean you can swim out to the deck which is about 14 ft deep and still see the bottom. Trailer home has been gone for at least 15 too 20 yrs but every summer my family heads out there, hard to swim in any other lake. And the memories are always there💗 now making memories with my grandkids who love it there!!
