Easy, beautiful, clean, perfect for our family reunion!

It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL 😍!

It was very nice. However, the chain holding the two picnic tables together was a safety hazard. Also the trash needed emptied

When we booked the shelter, the website said there were bathrooms onsite. We assumed the aforementioned bathrooms were the ones located in the visitors center and they would be available throughout our stay. That was apparently not the case. When I noticed that the visitors center was closing at 3pm, I called the local Army Corps of Engineers number listed on the door. The gentleman I spoke to was very nice and said he would look into it. Approximately 15 minutes later, that gentleman arrived at the site and spoke to me. He stated that he was unable to keep the visitor center open and it has to close at 3. He also stated that he spoke to his supervisor, who advised him that she had spoken to me a week ago about this issue and that she had told me at the time that they would be unable to accommodate us. This surprised me greatly because I never spoke to anyone about this issue prior to the party. I didn't even realize that it would be an issue because when you rent a shelter to host a party with 75 to 100 people, you assume the bathrooms right next door would remain open for the duration. We had to shuttle people all night to the boat ramp bathroom because it's took far of a walk for most people, especially the older folks at the party. What really aggravated me the most was that this supervisor lied and said she spoke to me already and that I had threatened to file a complaint. Not once did I call prior to the party. Not once did I even think this would be an issue. Please update your website to clarify to people that after 3pm, the closet bathroom is a drive away. And please advise this particular supervisor that making up stories because you realized what kind of a bind you put me in but weren't willing to do anything to correct it, is unprofessional and rude. Fortunately, my daughter who graduated still had a good time. Unfortunately, the guy who paid for it all didn't and had to spend the hours hauling older folks to the bathroom.

The smell was so bad that it made several of my guests sick. People with breathing problems had trouble breathing, People was complaining of eyes burning ,nose burning. A couple of my guest had nose bleeds and was throwing up from the smell.
