If I had to say anything negative it was that the shower door was a little tricky and allowed water to run onto the floor. That's a seriously small problem, it was worth the price and would stay there again without hesitation!

They aren't helping me find you guys but know I hope your clothes are always damp coming out of the dryer, you step on each individual Lego you come around barefoot, I home your sock always turns funny after getting your shoes on, I hope your mom stops calling you, I hope your tires are all flat by time you get home! It's the fact you threw out a handle of vodka while driving off! Now as for the KOA saying it isn't their problem! Fine I'll take it to social media! It is your parking lot! There for it is your problem! Don't blame ONLY the vendor You let them have their company there. The vendor in the picture below is responsible because he is okay with them drunk driving his pontoons! I called him and he said it wasn't his problem! He also stated it wasn't illegal to drink and drive a boat!!!! How do you own a business that rents boats and not know that yes it is illegal to drive a boat while drunk!!!! YOU CAN KILL PEOPLE!! I will blow this up until I get an apology or until they come forward or until the KOA Gets cameras! Don't recommend going there and parking in their lot just for some drunks to wreck your car and drive off and them not care!! THIS IS A FAMILY PLACE!!!!!! Or maybe make it 21+ if this is the people you have out there!!!! My 9 and 10 year old were highly upset!

We were staying at a cabin in the area and our son had been begging to go swimming, so a google…read moresearch led us to Super Splash. We packed up and spent four hours there and were super impressed. The place was well kept, the water was clean and a good temp. It was 101 degrees out so it was busy but there was plenty of room for everyone. Our son loved loved loved the lazy river and the tipping water bucket. All of the lifeguards (and there were at least 5 for the small park) were attentive and courteous. We packed our own food so I don't have any input on the concessions but they appeared to have all of the basics. For the 3 of us it was $25 all total to get in. I will tell you this... put. your. flip. flops. close. to. the. water. We're novices and put everything way on the other side of the park and the pavement was SCORCHING. Like blisters on my feet. Woof. We'll know better next time

Dog friendly campground. The only significant downside was the lack of available help around - due to covid the park office is closed, understandably but no one is manning the phones and the website map is confusing. It should be specified which area is mainly for campers (the big bear area).

There's lots to do, whether you're there to hike, bike, climb, or relax in nature. The camping grounds are a bit crowded, but most everyone keeps to themselves and are very friendly. There are lots of primitive restrooms throughout the park, but maintained with plumbing restrooms are only available for overnight paid guests. If you forget firewood, there is a place near the main campground restrooms where you can get bundles of firewood from a vet owned business. As of 5/8/2026 when I'm writing this, each bundle is $5 and can be paid in cash or QR.

The Waterfall Trail is flat and wide and boasts a fun waterfall in wet seasons, but also lovely bluffs and wildlife even when it's dry. My favorite hike was on a cold January day. We started with flurries, and the ground was completely white when we completed it. My kids are also HUGE fans of the Hawks Cave hike. Lots of fun boulders to climb on and explore. It's a short (though a bit steeper) hike, but begs you to linger at the cave.
