BIG fan of this state park! Recently returned for a camping trip after not having been here in…read moreyears, and boy was it delightful. The campgrounds themselves are well-kept and honestly massive. Can't even imagine how many campsites they have. Ours in particular was in quite the open space with tons of grass, but there are plenty of options that are more wood-like and covered. Nice they have electric hook up options, as we were traveling with both tents and RVs. Hiking trails were awesome too, wow. Really enjoyed our excursions out and about, winding through the woods, rocky up-hills, and taking in the beautiful lake views. Also awesome? The beach and the attached gift shop/restaurant. Super duper well-kept. Tons of beach space (though it was still packed!) with clean sand and shallow waters, great for the kiddos. Also that gift shop is more of a convenience store- it's got it all! The adject ice cream shop was also enjoyed by everyone we traveled with. My only small gripe was the lack of garbage cans. I feel like this is some kind of state-park rule maybe? I don't know there was only one area with dumpsters and unless you trek over there, you're kind SOL with wrappers, ice cream cups, rubbish left over from your restaurant meal, etc. 100% will return here, whether it's for future camping, just hiking outings, or beach days.

Came here for a weekend in October and was pleasantly surprised by just how pretty this park is!…read moreThe fall leaves definitely helped but I'm sure it'd be gorgeous year round. We camped at Upper Ice Age campground and it was perfect - the sites are spread out so you're not too close to neighbors and there are two bathrooms and water stations that make it easy to do your business. The bathroom located in UIA could be cleaner but the showers and bathrooms right down the hill are great and not too far away.

Highly recommended from our family. We loved the boat and service provided for the boat. Kat and…read moreJeremy helped us with our reservation and with getting out on the boat. They were both awesome to deal with. Nice size pontoon boat for our family of four. More people could have fit on comfortably. 8 would probably be a comfortable amount at most, but you probably could fit more. Not sure more than 8 would be as comfortable. Plenty of room on the boat. We boated the entire day and even fished off the boat. The boat has a depth finder and fish finder as one unit on the boat. The boat seemed fairly new and in great shape. Plenty of comfortable seating cushions on the boat. It could have used more cup holders, though. Plenty of storage under the seats and cushions. We did several stops to swim while out on the lake. The lake is not very deep (Castle Rock Lake) so go more towards the center of the lake to swim. There it was around 15-20 feet deep. You could anchor there with no problems. Awesome ladder on the boat to get back in the boat from the water. With four in the boat, plenty of room to fish. Casting or bobber fishing. Fish finder on the boat was a nice touch. It helped find good areas to fish, but we had no luck catching any that day. Smooth ride while boating on Castle Rock Lake. Not many boats on the lake the day we were out on the lake. We didn't see many boats on the lake the whole time we were there. That's nice that the lake does not get too crowded with boat traffic. The boat has a Bluetooth radio to connect your phone for music and a nice music system for enjoying your boat ride. Overall smooth experience reserving the boat in advance and then getting out on the water. Kat showed us how to use the boat and then we were off on the lake boating. Seamless experience from reservation to turning the boat in at the end of the day. Highly recommend renting a boat from them on Castle Rock Lake. Just so you know, they operate out of a shack next door to the Shipwreck Bay Bar and Restaurant. The shack is located on the hill above their docks. There is a banner on the side of the shack that says Castle Rock Water Sports. That is where you start your day. For lunch while boating, the restaurant by the boat rental docks, Shipwreck Bay Bar and Grill, is great and so is the Dirty Turtle Bar and Grill just North of there via water. TIP: When filling your boat with gas at the end of your boating day before turning it in, go to the Dirty Turtle Restaurant/Bar down the way from the Castle Rock Water Sports docks. It's about half a mile or less North of their rental docks by water. The gas pump is by the Dirty Turtle Bar and Grill itself. You will have to pull the boat all the way into the marina by water and up to the dock right in front of the Dirty Turtle bar where the gas pump is at. Dock your boat there and go into the restaurant with your credit card. Tell the bartender that you want to fill-up your boat and they hold your card and turn on the pump for you. Go back out and fill your boat to full from the pump. The pump hose is pretty long and will stretch most of the way down the dock to fill your boat no matter where you dock it. After filling your boat with gas, go back into the bar and pay. They can put it on your card or you can pay cash instead. Knowing all this would have saved us some time, but we figured it out, finally. Enjoy!!!

The 2 hour tour stops at the gulch and lets you walk around and explore for roughly 20-30 minutes.

Our tour guide Josh was a hoot. I think that makes a really big difference. He's been working there…read morefor 35 years!! Can you imagine. He says the owner is a single 88 yo woman who has been offered a lot of money so investors can come in and build a resort on the property. It's already surrounded by resorts and trees are falling because the ground is eroding. It's sad. it's so beautiful down in there. Our horses names were Matt and Major. Josh works with the same two horses every time her works. They both stand in the same place each shift and also know when shift is over at the end of the day. Josh got everyone on the wagon to get involved and engaged on the ride. We had some great laughs and took some great pictures. If you're ever up that way it's well worth the stop to take the tour. Josh also said they are always hiring. It seems hard to find people who want to be tour guides up there in the canyons. He said he makes pretty good money. Ask for Josh and his team Matt and Major. You won't be disappointed.

I love cave tours - which is what I was looking for - and came across this tour. This was very different than anything I ever done before which is why I ultimately chose it. And I made a good choice. I did not book ahead of time. I just showed up and they were able to take me. The whole thing lasted about 40 minutes. I wish it was longer. The pulled horses will take you through the canyon while the tour guides talks about the area, the canyons. It takes you through winding rock formations and narrow alleys. It is really beautiful and it doesn't matter how hot it is, it feels so good on the tour due to all the shade. It was very hot on the day I went but it felt great! We also got to see on Deer on the tour! It was a lot of fun and I did buy a t-shirt because I liked it so much. I would definitely recommend to check out at least once!

Got a groupon and wasn't sure if this was going to be worth it for 4 but it was wonderful…read more Two kids (9 and 7) came along. We had our doubts about the kids but in the end it was fine. Orientation was a bit over the kids heads but they got it through real-life application. The obstacles started easy and gained in difficulty. Not a lot of zip line but fun obstacles. Jack, Nick and Ryan were great. At one point the 9 year old wanted to bail on the obstacles and Ryan gave a pep talk and she finished the course. We paid and extra $10 for the high line zip line. It was well worth it. Note go before your kids on the obstacles so you can help them hit the landing pads and get set up for the next adventure.

We really enjoyed our trail ride here!…read more I think the very few more negative reviews are a little overly critical. Yes there is only a port-a-potty and hand sanitizer/water jug situation for washing your hands but... it's a farm. I'm not sure what else is expected. The port-a-potty was in totally acceptable condition for what it was. We did wait quite a while to get on our horses and get going, but we got the treats for the horses (+$10) and really enjoyed just watching the work being done there and petting the dogs and cats and feeding the horses. For us, this waiting portion was a really enjoyable part of our time there! I think it's a matter of your perspective and what experience you're hoping to have. The guides were great with our 6 year old daughter, who wanted to ride her own horse but was nervous about having to control it. She got a very docile horse and the guide was very kind leading her the entire time. The trail was beautiful and the guides were very friendly and kind. They are no-nonsense in some ways but I think that's required! I didn't think I was going to convince our daughter to leave at the end, she was so attached to her horse and all the dogs running around. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.
