Place is awesome. I took my family for a fun day and it turned out to be a great place. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The slide and diving board was so much fun. You can rent all sorts of tubes and goggles. Buy snacks and drinks. When we first arrived my son was so excited to get in. I went in after him as all dads do to make sure it was safe and he was comfortable. I followed him up the dining board and forgot to take my glasses off and my necklace. I jumped in and both were gone when i resurfaced. The staff were so help and jumped in to find my belongings. I was so impressed by the way they handled the situation. Everything was found and believe my this part of the lake was 12ft deep. Took about a hour. Thank you

Nice place to go and cool off on hot days! Staff was very polite and helpful! Water was nice and clean and the slides/diving boards were fun! They also played great music throughout the time visiting! Will be back again

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.!!! Workers are always great.! Especially the lady that you pay to get in (& I totally forgot her name now that I'm writing this, sorry.!!) Prices are absolutely reasonable for entry & for food. Great place to take the kids or even just go with other adults, even by yourself.!!!

I have passed by this place for a couple of years and always wanted to check it out. My husband decided to bring our family here for a Sunday outing today. I can't believe we waited so long to visit. The staff was friendly. They offer military pricing and the overall cost is extremely affordable. I don't remember the last place we went as a group of 8 and spent under $60 to get in. The food is also priced very reasonable and they have a simple yet wide variety of options. There is something to do for every age group. This place had a nostalgic vibe for my husband and I. Nothing fancy, just affordable good family fun. Can't wait to come back.

We love this place. Of course, it’s old and has a strong 80s vibe, but the experience is hard to find anywhere else around here! Concessions are reasonably priced. Management was friendly and helped keep an eye on swimmer safety, as did the life guards on duty. When I called in advance to ask about water quality, I was reassured that this natural spring sourced lake is partially drained and refilled each year, and DHEC regulated, with water quality tested every 2 weeks.
