Everyone should be aware that it is NOT dog friendly in the swimming area. So if you want to swim with your dog and family you cannot have the dog at the roped off swimming area even on the shore. This information is not posted online correctly and it leads you to believe that this is a great dog lake when it is not.
This is a really great place to go for low crowds. The lake offered fair fishing for me but was really taken in how quiet it was. There is a $5.00 charge PER PERSON for day use. There is a nice beach area and the bathrooms have showers and are well maintained. It is real close to Vogel State Park but seems more secluded. The are a lot of steps to get to the swimming area. I think the builders were paid according to the number if steps the could put in. Bring all that you may need cause the nearest store...aint near. Noteworthy details: Only have the one issue for this park. There is a $5.00 PER PERSON charge for single day use. This is normally a per car charge not a per person charge.
I am trying to find out whom I need to report an incident involving myself and a staff member. The female staff member was very rude to me without cause. I am unsure if she was having a bad day but she approached me with contempt and enough intimidation that my daughter actually believed that I was in danger. Later learned that she had asked my daughter whose vehicle it was and when my daughter responded the woman sped towards me in the golf cart. She told me that I had not purchased entry into the park...which I had done and had the slip in my dash per the instructions on the payment envelope. She was looking for something on my mirror and it took several minutes for her to realize that I purchased mine from a box that was at the other entrance. Not even an apology before again coming at me about fishing. I drove over an hour because this park offered a handicap fishing peir according to the website. When I arrived the pier was pretty crowded but the map near the permit box showed other fishing spots in the park so I decided to stay. I was surprised to see that the price on the board was higher than what the website stated but I was already there so I filled out the envelope and paid the $10. It took almost 45 minutes but my daughter and I found a spot that, with her assistance. I was able to get to. It was while she went back to my vehicle to get our gear that this woman approached her and then came at me. After no apology for ticket issue She said that there was no fishing allowed. It was about 1:30 in the afternoon and I had driven all over the park. There were a lot of people fishing and no signs stating what she was saying. When I asked about that she said she was on her way to deal with them and that forestry was on their way to put up signs. I asked her about my paying $10 to fish but before I could even ask if I could get a pass to come back another day she shouted at me and told me she didn't know what to tell me other than I was not going to fish in her park. I showed no disrespect for the lady. I never raised my voice nor did I argue. I was on a small wooden dock with my back to the water with this woman actually making me feel fear. I really want to see that this never happens to anyone again and intend to follow up on this matter.
I have been camping here before thus time was just a day trip with the girls. Lake time in the mountains. Just what we needed, time in God's creation.Location: 5/5
Their website clearly says there's off season rates "Off-Season Camping – $12 / $6" and it says "Open year round camping north loop only mid-November to early April, limited services". When I arrivedbooth was closed there was a sign that says there's no off season rates and to pay full price. I left, I wasn't going to pay $24 for a site that doesn't even have water or electric. It was just before dark and no cell service but I managed to find a spot for the night in the National Forest and didn't have to pay a thing.
This place is absolutely incredible. Beautiful stream that runs along the north loop camp sites. The lake is amazing with stunning views of the sky at night. Some of the first come first serves sites are pretty isolated, which is exactly what we wanted for our 11 year anniversary camping trip. Stephanie is an amazing host and made our stay extra welcomed. Clean bathrooms with showers in 2 of them. We wanted to say bye before we left, but couldn’t find the golf carts around. Stephanie, thank you so much! Of our 11 years and probably about 15 camping trips, this has been our favorite. We will be back.
This place is beautiful. However management is bit crazy, and there is no restroom :.Location: 5/5
Such a beautiful place. I hope it's allowed to be left as it is; the perfect place to get away from everything and relax. If you're around definitely check out the restaurant at Kennedy Creek resort as well,just over 4 miles from lake W. Scott,it's the perfect place to have a great meal after a day of hiking and swimming in the lake.
Stayed at campsite 002 awesome place friendly host. Campsites are spread apart about 50 plus yards from each other. Clean bathroom and showers, always had toilet paper and soap. Showers are hot which was awesome.
Best camping It’s a mile from parking to campsite Pack light Location: 5/5
