Our condo association has rented the Buckeye Shelter at Alum Creek Below Dam area multiple times. Restrooms are right next to the shelter and plenty of parking is just across the street. Highly recommend!

We used the Buckeye shelter for a Celebration of Life and it was very accommodating. Seating and parking were exceptional and everyone was very pleased with the surroundings. Looking forward to using it again for more gatherings. Thank you for such a nice outside venue.

Due to Rain, whenever the Alum Creek Dam area Cricket Ground is not in usable condition we request for cancellation and they don't accept it. Simply rejects the request without refunding the amount paid for the reservation.. :(

Watch for a matching campsite across monitored campgrounds in Alum Creek Lake.

Popularity: Very busy

Busiest in November, when about 100% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 1 years of reservations.
