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.
I appreciated the amenities in my cottage, particularly the screened area for enjoying the outdoors, but the dated furniture and faulty microwave were disappointing.
The staff was incredibly friendly and responsive to my needs, making my stay more pleasant.
The location is wonderfully calm and away from the city, perfect for unwinding, though access to good beaches is sadly lacking.
The dining experience was enjoyable but offered typical American fare that didn't stand out too much.
The pool area was well-maintained, and the outdoor activities provided good family fun, but more sports or games could enhance the experience.

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.
I stayed in one of the smaller cottages, which was nice but had a few drawbacks. The microwave was nearly useless due to a faulty display, and the television had an error message for the duration of my stay. The chairs were dated, but I appreciated having kitchenware available.
The staff was friendly and responsive, but there were some technical issues with the TV in my cottage that could have been addressed quicker. They seemed willing to help, but I felt the need to report certain flaws myself.
I really enjoyed the serene setting of the park, with beautiful lake views and nearby marinas. The short walking distance to the lake from my cottage was a highlight, allowing me to appreciate the calm outdoors.
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.

I had a pleasant stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park, enjoying the serenity and beautiful views. The cottages were nice, especially with a screened area for relaxing outdoors. However, I faced some issues with the microwave and TV in my cottage, which detracted from my experience.
My cottage was pleasant, with a nice screened area, but the microwave was barely functional and the TV had an error message on every channel.
The staff was friendly and responsive when I reported issues, which made my experience better overall.
The park's location is peaceful and perfect for a getaway, and while the lakeside was a short walk away, the proximity to the airfield did cause occasional noise.
I enjoyed dining at the lodge, and overall the food quality was great, which added to the positive experience.
The pool area was clean, and the availability of outdoor amenities was nice, though I did find the mini-golf course lacking maintenance.

I had a really enjoyable stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park with my family. The lakefront views and clean facilities were great highlights, especially for the kids who loved the beach and pool. However, I was a bit disappointed by the condition of the mini-golf course and the lack of equipment rentals. Overall, the relaxing atmosphere made for a pleasant getaway.
I stayed in one of the smaller cottages, which had a nice screened area for enjoying the moderate weather. Though it could use some updates, I appreciated the plates and cooking equipment provided. That said, my microwave was barely functional, and the TV had an error that needed fixing.
The staff were friendly and responsive, which added to my overall experience. They were attentive when I reported the TV issue, although it was disappointing that it couldn't be fixed during my stay.
The park is peaceful and away from the hustle of the city, making it a great escape. I enjoyed walking to the lakeside from the cottage, but I did hear the helicopters occasionally during practice at the nearby airfield.
I had a good experience at the lodge's restaurant, with tasty food and attentive service. I enjoyed the outdoor dining experience with beautiful views, but I didn't have the chance to explore more dining options.
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.

I really enjoyed my stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park, particularly the beautiful views of the lake and the friendly staff. The dining experience was excellent, with attentive service and delicious food. However, I faced a few issues with the cottage amenities, including a malfunctioning microwave and television. Overall, it was a peaceful getaway, perfect for those seeking a quiet time by the lake.
I found the cottage charming with a nice screened area, but the microwave was barely functional, and the TV had an error message that was never resolved during my stay.
The staff was incredibly friendly and responsive, making my experience enjoyable with their helpfulness and attentiveness.
The setting near the lake was picturesque, though the trails were shorter than I expected, which limited hiking options.
Dining at the lodge was fantastic, with quality food and a amazing view of the lake to enhance the experience.
The pool was clean and well-maintained, but the lack of longer hiking trails was disappointing for someone looking for more challenging outdoor activities.
