Lots of uneven roots and rocks though. We returned on Beacham Trail, just slightly inland of fuller, but it parallels it completely. It was quite a bit more flat and easier to navigate if you have any foot or ankle concerns. Lovely trails! Full bathrooms at the campground. And a GREAT playground for kids!

Our 14 year old tried the paddle board with Dillon's help and he did well. The tour was the right choice for our inter-generational, not very athletic group.

Melody was very abrasive with the paddling…read moreinstructions, she tends to yell and talk down to people, I don't think she does this on purpose, it's just her style. Once we got on the water on our own we had a great time. We were given inflatable paddle boards and carried them a short distance down the rocks. We did not need shoes, just left our sandals on the shore. The water was nice and warm in mid June. We were out for 3 hours and hung out in a cove for awhile with a trickling waterfall. We found cliffs to jump from. There were barely any boats on the water on a Wednesday afternoon. Melody warned us of high winds, but that wasn't a factor.

He helped us navigate our way to our destination and gave us tips, clearly an expert on the area. He gave us a demo on how to inflate the tubes and deflate, and sent us with an info packet as well! It was a great deal overall to rent for all day, and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an adventure!:)

When we got back, the nice girl working referred us to some other cool places to go on the water and gave us a great recommendation for the taco truck up the street.

Advertising is great for this place but it does not deliver. The campsite was completely in the…read moremiddle of the woods and the site was very very rocky. There were zero views due to being surrounded by super tall trees. The bathrooms were not completely done either. We couldn't even take a shower. This location would do better off with small cabins, not tents. If that. The owners wife was definitely creepy and would text me at 4 AM talking about "services" she offered. I never quite figured that one out. None of the other campers were satisfied either. There was supposed to be electric but it was a string of extension cords going from site to site. They also said there would be a music festival, which turned out to be one band, not several, on the back of a trailer. Also they tried to charge us more than initially stated. And there were no trails as in the pictures. Save yourself some time, money, and stress. Will never ever go back.

Hike has both paved and non-paved trail with an online map or you could take a picture at entrance. If going solo, I wouldn't mind the fee, it gets pricey when you're with a group or with kids, especially for the time spent.

When we arrived around noon on a cool April Wednesday we found the gate open, but the gift shop…read moreclosed with a sign that said $6 each or what you can afford with an honor system can. We deposited $4 since that is all we had - and I wasn't depositing a $20 bill for two people and not knowing if the next person would steal it. The honor can should really be more secure! The trail is fairly short and not too strenuous - coming from a 60 year old with problematic knees. The natural bridge and pivot rock are cool but not larger than life like the promotional billboards would lead you to believe. Just as interesting are the scores of stacked rocks left by tourists. Whimsical and amusing juxtaposed against the wilderness trails. Was it worth my $4 - yes! Would it have been worth it at full price of $12 - uuhhh... Ok, I am on vacation and I've spent more for less before; but I couldn't recommend it for a large traveling family. It was nice to have the entire trail and area to ourselves. The trail signs do need a makeover since they are unreadable. 3 stars for value, rounding up to 4 for the benefit of keeping Americana roadside attractions open.

I really loved the amenities such as pizza and firewood delivery. The pizza tastes like buffet…read morepizza. Sweet crust and greasy, everything you need after a long float trip. The water shoes in the shop were a fair price. The large cabin was perfect, being close to the main cabin. I would've preferred having outlets where we slept, which was the pullout couch under the stairs.

The bathrooms were clean, bright, spacious, had a private shower, and flush toilets. I would NOT book the campsites that did not back to the river (they are sandwiched between two (minor) roads and had little room. We did not drive to "area 2" which was sites 1-37, but they appeared to be wooded at the bottom of the dam. We stayed in "area 1" which is campsites 38-59, and is almost impossible to find if you arrive after hours (it's another exit off of 187, and is labeled Parker Bottoms) - the signage at this site is very lacking. All in all, a wooded, beautiful campground. We saw armadillos, raccoons, great blue herons, and fish! FYI, there is also a different campground named Dam Site Lake, and it's on a peninsula in the middle of the lake. It offered no trees and looked hot and barren. Due to the lack of signage, we drove around this one for a while, looking for our site (argh!). Dam site lake would be good for a large college group who wants lots of sun and to be right on the water (and who don't care about privacy).

He is really knowledgeable about the area and very passionate about fly fishing, and he wants everyone he takes out to love it as well.

Thanks so much for making a great trip for us, Erik!

Sadly, the loving care that was once evident everywhere is no longer there. The cabins are in serious need of maintenance. I called a few times prior to finally booking online because I couldn't catch anyone on the phone. Our keys were pinned to a corkboard at the office when we arrived around 3:25 pm. When we checked out the next morning at 8:36, there was also no one in the office, although a housekeeping(?) vehicle drove past us to the cabin. It was a very impersonal experience and not at all what I experienced as a child and also when I returned with my own young children years ago. I did text and call Kelly as I would have preferred to give this feedback in person, as well as settle my account. No shampoo or body wash in the bathrooms, but there were some soap bars. Bring a hair dryer - there isn't one. Pro tip: We didn't think there was a bath mat, but it was folded under the tissue holder on the back of the toilet. Water was hot and the pressure was decent. Our cabin (no 2) had gray hairs on one of the pillowcases and the sheets had multiple tiny holes. There was a streak of black on the ceiling of our cabin above the bed that might have been mold but honestly am not sure. The expensive tv ads that run in the DFW and OKC market could be better spent on Thompson's water seal for the exteriors and refreshing the ancient carpet and sheets/beds. That said, if you think of it as a glamping experience it might not be so bad. Sadly, this will most likely be our last visit here. Giving it two stars for the creek and river views.

The river is 45 degrees so not swimmable for me, but the lake is a 3 minute drive away and it's a nice place to spend the day.
