    Beautiful! We stayed two nights in our motorhome and we will definitely be back to this park again in the future. You can rent John boats for $30 for four hours. It's 9 miles from Providence Canyon which is a must see! RV sites are clean, shady and level but not very private. Staff is friendly. We did not use laundry, playgrounds or mini golf. There are grills, picnic tables and fire rings on every site. They also rent cottages. Highly recommend!

    Great camping

    Hubby picked this place as a close campsite to the Providence Canyon State Park. It is located at a beautiful marina with fantastic fishing. The camp grounds are well-maintained. There is a decent amount of space between sites. The sites are gravel for the trailer/rv. They are pretty leveled. There is a comfort area with washers/dryers and restrooms with showers. Each site has a grill, fire pit, and picnic table. It is a dog friendly park with pets needing to be on a six foot leash or leash. The park itself has lots of hiking trails, fishing areas, fish cleaning setups with sinks/running water, well-covered by trees, and pretty nice roads for smooth driving/parking and riding bikes. There isn't a grocery store any where near the park so if you need supplies we highly recommend you bring them with you before pulling in. There is a little store on the grounds with some camping supplies, boat rentals for the huge beautiful lake, fishing bait, and gift shop. Overall, we had a great time staying. It was beautiful, relaxing, and gave us wonderful memories. Looking forward to returning.

    We loved our stay here! The efficiency cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was well stocked with locally sourced homemade soaps, shampoos and lotion. The kitchen had everything you needed with pots, pans, a toaster, utensils, plates and even a pitcher for lemonade! Grills, picnic benches and a fire pit were just steps right outside the door including a view of the lake and marina. A nice swing set and playground with a wide open field and beautiful trees are across from the cabins. We walked to the fishing pier for beautiful views of the sunset. The visitor store had firewood, ice and cute things to buy. This is a perfect place to stay within 8 miles from Providence Canyon. We will be back!!

    Camped 1 night here. If you have a camper, you might enjoy this place as it is primarily level, good paved roads, with water, sewer, and electricity outlets galore. Picnic table and fire ring at each site too. There is no foliage to breakup the views between campsites so it almost like a spaced out grassy parking lot of RVs. There were 3 tent campers when I was there. A little pricey for $30 a night. The rest were RVs. Also of note, the website showed they were full but they actually had a lot of spaces available. So if you are in the area and want to camp there do not go strictly by what the website tells you. The ranger was unaware of this, but the camp host was aware there was plenty of spaces. If you call, it will go to the ranger station. But this place is kinda remote, so if you are in the area (like you are at Providence Canyon) then a drive by is warranted. It has a clean laundry facility, clean bath/showers, and a Coke machine that takes $1 bills. Camp host sells ice and wood. There is a marina there with what looks like primarily pontoon boats. The checkin station is staffed by rangers and they sell souvenirs and bait, along with a few snacks/drinks. No fishing is allowed at the marina itself and there are signs warning that alligators are present in this lake. Lots of spanish moss hang from trees giving the place a real southern feel. There is a really nice miniature golf set up in between the campground and the lake. A couple of wooden swings and a gazebo are perched on the bank of the lake and make a great place to watch the sunset.

    I wish we had more time here to explore all of the canyons! It was so unusual and fun to walk…read morethrough! There is loads of shade in the interior of the canyon and water does trickle through so expect to get a smidge wet and dusty from the canyon. The shop was loaded with great merch but the bathroom was out of service for us so everyone had to use the single toilet handicapped room which wasn't exactly great. The parking fee and map etc can be a little confusing so just be sure to go inside to make sure everything is on the up and up. The rim trail runs immediately around the visitor center just follow the fencing to the left to stay around the rim go to the right to go down into the canyon itself. Both are worth it. We spent more time in the canyon :)

    I had high hopes for this park and experienced high disappointment. POV: I walked the entire white…read moretrail and (attempted to) walk up all white canyons. Based on the numbering I went counter-clockwise from the visitor center, turning left each time there was an option. As far as diverting from the white trail to walk into any of the nine canyons, you are basically walking on riverbed. There are no trails into these canyons, which is very disappointing and, to me, not something I would show on a map. I visited during November of a relatively dry year. What about May after a wet spring? You wouldn't be able to see any of these! My shoes and socks have received a thorough drying as the temperatures warmed, but these chill my review. In order from best to worst: * Canyon #8, if you must pick only one canyon to walk into. There are a number of uninhibited side trails to see and climb (not vertically, only a little bit up the base slope) all different stone walls. * Canyons #3-5 also have nice views, but not as many side trails and a little more fencing/signing telling you not to go any further (though IMO you are OK as long as you don't try to scale rock walls or carve your name). * Canyons #2 and #7 were nothing to write home about. * The trail to Canyon #1 petered out without anything worth photographing. Mostly just walls. * I could not even find trails to Canyons #6 or #9. #9 had a creek split off but it quickly became untraversable. This is where actual trails would help... My view was very dim at that point. I continued back up the white trail to the top. As the trail gets closer to the visitor center, the views do get better. However, in multiple locations, you'll only really getting a good photo by stepping over the wooden fence that is signed DO NOT STEP OVER THIS FENCE. And in one location the fence lets you walk all the way to the edge where the rock drops off - a child could actually slip through the rocks and die without having ever crawled under the fence! Be very careful. Verdict: I wouldn't spend $5 here unless you are a naturalist who doesn't mind getting muddy and taking adventurous risks. Not enough for the average person to warrant a visit compared to some of the deeper, better marked, and safer places I've visited. But I got some decent views in the end so I'll round up.
