My stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park was quite enjoyable, primarily due to the peaceful setting and friendly staff. The cottages offered a nice woodsy feel, but the limited yard space for recreational activities was a downside. While the pool was clean and the food decent, I found the dining options to be somewhat standard. Overall, it was a relaxing experience, but a few improvements could enhance future visits.

My stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park was quite pleasant overall. The natural surroundings offered a calm atmosphere, though the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited options and some issues. The cottage I rented was cozy, but had some functional issues that need addressing. Overall, I enjoyed the outdoor amenities and the quiet escape from city life.

The dining experience was mixed. While the buffet dinner was acceptable, the breakfast buffet ran out of food before closing time, which was disappointing. The selections could use improvement as well.

The park had a good range of outdoor amenities, and the pool area was maintained well for family activities. However, parking near the cottages could be challenging, especially with multiple vehicles.

The outdoor amenities like the pool were well-maintained and perfect for families. However, the mini-golf and tennis courts could be better taken care of, and availability of equipment rentals was an issue. Parking can be tricky in some areas, especially if you have multiple vehicles.
