Lifeguards work the swim areas and reviewers say the rules there are enforced firmly. Little natural shade, so bring a canopy, and water shoes help kids. Reports on cleanliness are mixed. Rattlesnakes, tarantulas and scorpions all come up. Summer heat here is the real hazard.
Big sandy swim beach, boat/kayak/paddleboard rentals, fishing and camping. Arrive early for parking on hot days.

This was a fun experience! I truly enjoyed it! We went camping for 2 days. They cleaned the restroom twice a day which is nice, however other guest would leave toliet paper everywhere. (Not the parks fault). There were some wild life that we and other campers saw such as tarantulas, black widows, rattle snake, Scorpions, birds, lizards but that’s typical especially in 103 deg weather. There’s water Spickets around the camp area if you need to fill something up with water, plenty of trash bins and space for all your camping needs. Each restroom has 2 toilets and 1 shower. Honestly that’s probably the only downfall was that there was only one shower, causing us to have to wait in a line to use the shower. We definitely want to do this again! Also there’s a lake you can go swimming in, I believe it closes at 8pm which is plenty of time to go swimming and there’s life guards on duty. The rangers are nice, helpful and attentive. There were a couple incidents such as a dumpster smoking (someone probably threw hot coals in there) and something else that we couldn’t see but they were on the scene quick!
