Family Vacation spot!

We’ve been coming here for several years now, and it hasn’t disappointed! It is a simple yet adventurous place to hang out and stay a few nights at! We really love the lake and all the little trails we could mountain bike on! Good place for families or big groups to come to!

Great for a weekend get away!

We stayed here a while back and loved the camp grounds. They are nice and well kept. Great for trailers or tents of any size. Depending on the location you reserve you'll have an area of grass and a spot for your vehicle. We love going there in the summer months. Even to just go fishing is great. They also rent paddle boats and canoes if wanted. Have a sandy little beach as well. We mostly go for the fishing though. Awesome place!

Such a beautiful area.

Family comes here every year around Mother’s Day. This year we went May 17th and it was still cold.The water was very high. We love palisades or we wouldn’t be going every year. It is getting busier so it’s harder to get a reservation. It’s so pretty and the golf course is gorgeous.

Family Favorite

We come here often. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 star is because the campsites are too close together and our best kept secret is no longer a secret and it is crowded all the time. This is a great place to go kayaking (no power boats allowed). There are great atv trails nearby. There is a great golf course right next to the lake/campground. The restaurant at the golf club has really good food. The bathrooms are kept clean. So many great reasons to come here if you are lucky enough to get a reservation.

Busy, Loud Park

If you're looking for solitude, drive up a canyon road and skip Palisade State Park. It's loud and busy most days of the week in the summer. If you're bringing a group this might be your spot. The lake is nice and the trails around the lake are good for running, 4-wheeling and exploring.
