This was a great weekend, my family will definitely be returning to the cabins. They were in great condition. I wish i had gotten more pictures because when i was booking i couldnt find any for reference. Very clean, cozy, and adorable. it had a grill, fire pit, swings, and everything you might forget to bring on a trip; like hand/dish soap, or utensils.

I love this lake because of its size, cleanliness, and beauty. I would recommend everybody to visit this lake. Maybe come flooded during the Spring but in the summer it is a fun place to be. Not a fan of the trees in the water in some parts of the lake but I often enjoy fishing and floating in the lake to keep cool. Has a fairly good sized Marina And plenty of camping spots for any kind of cam... I love this lake because of its size, cleanliness, and beauty. I would recommend everybody to visit this lake.

It was our first time at El Dorado State Park. There are lots of areas to explore and we all loved the lake. It was perfect to take a short swim on 103° day!

Great place for camping, swimming, hiking, fishing, or just hanging out with family and friends. Plenty of tent and rv/camper spots with picnic tables, fire rings, electric, and water hook ups.

Like the lake and surroundings. People in the office are friendly but some of the rules here for camping are outrageous though. As well as the prices.
