Sholem provided the perfect spot for this morning's swim! While I can't speak to this facility during a busier time, I can speak to my experience in the pools earlier hours. I was able to walk up to their admission desk and, after talking briefly with the friendly desk worker, I paid my $6 to swim and headed into the locker room. During my swim, there was never more than 4 people in the pool and I was able to swim in one of their 3 lanes for most of my swim. Additionally, while the air was a little chilly this morning, the pool temperature was perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed my swim and would recommend this spot to anyone looking. I also eyed a pretty awesome lazy river that I'd like to take a few laps through if I find myself itching to swim again before I head back to St. Louis!

I was only here once, but had a great time. A cheap way to cool off and have some summer fun! The…read morewaterslides are awesome. Remember to flatten your body to get that speed! Didn't try the lazy river-those things have a history of making people sick. Tons of fun splashy play type stuff for little kids. The only reason they don't get five stars is the lack of a diving board. Come on people, if you're going to spend a ton to build a massive aqua complex, you put in a diving board.

This water park is most definitely geared for younger children or adults. I didn't find it amusing…read moreenough to say it's geared for a much older audience. There are 3 water slides. One in the kiddie pool area, and two one you take a tube down, and the other you don't need one. The pool goes from a few inches up to about 5 1/2 feet deep, no diving allowed. There separate locker rooms/restrooms with showers, and outdoor lockers that you can rent for a small fee to store your things securely. The admission fee was something like $5/person but on this particular visit we used some free admission coupons that were given to us by someone leaving the park. Total score! The facility seems to be kept clean, and I saw a suitable amount of life guards available in case one were to be needed. I should also mention that there is a small park area that is accessible from within the water park. I want to say that I seen a sand pit, and some swings. There were lots of chairs for sunbathing and a concession stand as well.

I did have an incident however, that makes us not want to go back anytime soon. My son has schizophrenia. When he comes to the pool with us all he does is walk around. He paces. That's just all he does. He rarely even gets in the water. Well, someone reported him as being "suspicious" & said he was following them. I wasn't at all happy about the way management handled the situation. They had the park police come & wanted them to tell my son to leave. I talked to the park police & explained that he's got this disease & he walks around & talks to himself. But he's the sweetest person you'll ever meet! He's harmless, extremely friendly doesn't bother anyone. It really hurt him to think that someone accused him of doing something malicious. They agreed not to make him leave as long as he stayed right with me. But that's impossible. He can't stay in one area...ever. He walks all over. So my brother came to pick him up & take him home because he was so upset. He felt very discriminated against & so did I. It's sad that I can't even take him swimming for fear his "odd behavior" will make someone think he's doing something wrong! People need to be educated about people with mental disabilities. (& it's very obvious that he has one). Anyway, we won't be back because he doesn't feel comfortable there. We are going to a pool in Bloomington /Normal now & it's wonderful. No one has bothered him or been bothered by him & we love it.

Lots and family fun here.

Lots of lifeguards are posted here and many nice people help keep the kiddos safe. Life vests are available for extra precaution and a few different pools to play in make it fun for all ages. No refunds if the weather turns rainy, so plan accordingly.

But anyway, I love this pool...my grandkids can't swim yet but they can go really far out & still touch bottom! I can literally sit down in the shallow end & play with them & relax. My son doesn't get in the water much, he just walks around talking to himself. No one's bothered him or anything. I also LOVE that they're open until 7 pm! I don't have to worry about getting them too early. We get there about 1:00 pm or so & have sooo much time! I'm sad that swimming season is almost over!

Tent area with water and electric hook up is pretty tight you are tent to tent with your neighbor and there is many trees in that area so not much grass and a whole lot of roots. Also when it rains it becomes a muddy mess. Still I can't say enough about the staff they are absolutely amazing and accommodating. The regular campers are really friendly too and quick to have a convo with you. I highly recommend this campground. Only drawback is hopefully they can add more tent spots with water electric hookup with more room and more grass.
