What are people saying (AI review summary)? Chippokes Plantation State Park receives mixed reviews, with many visitors loving the park for its museums and the 'shell beach' where families enjoy collecting shells and fossils. The pool is often highlighted as a large, refreshing amenity with diving boards. However, there are significant complaints regarding pool management and communication. Issues include the pool closing early on its last day of operation, cutting short family swim time, and unannounced changes to pool hours and weekly closures, leading to disappointment for visitors who traveled long distances in hot weather specifically for pool access. One review also notes a period where the pool was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

My family and I have been visiting Chippokes since I was little, and we've always enjoyed every part of this place & never had any complaints. But...things have changed, unfortunately. I took my family to the swimming pool yesterday (Labor Day), which is the last day that it's open. We arrived there around 4:45p. They close at 6p. I verified with the cashier to make sure that we had an hour to swim. At 5:30p, my kids came up to me and told me that the lifeguards are closing the pool early to pick up the chairs. I was not too thrilled. There were other people visiting that felt the same way, also. Considering it was the last day, they shouldn't have done that. I was told it was going to be open until 6p, so therefore it should have been open until 6p. That only gave my kids a half an hour to enjoy the pool one last time. Totally not cool! Especially when you're leaving & see the lifeguards just playing around and taking pictures, instead of picking up the damn chairs! It irks me to have to write a bad review because I LOVE this place, but this needed to be said. It put a damper on my kids, & the other peoples, last day of fun before school started.

I absolutely love this place. The museums are cool. I havent campes here yet or swam in the pool but I would really like to soon. I absolutely love the little beach area on the river. My kids call it shell beach and love to collect shells and fossils there.

The pool is open 10 to 4 with the lifeguard taking a 15 minute break every hour. The pool will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday this week. I am camping for a whole week here and reserve America nor Chippokes Plantation State park informed use of this change in pool hours before are arriving. I would have camped somewhere else of I would have known, very disappointed. I traveled over 4 hours and the temperature is over 90 degrees to have NO pool.

On a hot summer day, there is nothing more refreshing than a dip in this pool. It is a huge pool with two diving boards! Please "like" my review if it helped you. 😊

The pool is currently closed due to the Pandemic Covid-19. But it is a beautiful area and I hope that it will be open once again this summer to enjoy a dip in some icy waters.
