What campers say

Lake Henshaw Resort offers a scenic, rustic lakeside retreat with cabins that include fire pits and barbecues, pleasant lake and valley views, nearby trails, and a small on-site grill that many find enjoyable. Staff are frequently noted as friendly and the setting can be peaceful for fishing and exploring. Tradeoffs include occasional road noise, a need for more consistent upkeep and housekeeping, and variable water-access policies (boat rentals sometimes restricted). Some visitors report strict or uneven enforcement of rules and slow management responses. Overall, a relaxed getaway with useful amenities but some reliability and maintenance caveats.

Cant find images eviews?? because it sucks!!made reservations, site unseen,found out the sites were around TRAILER TRASH!! YES, residents living in crappy trailers in the middle of this place. Roads up to the site=full of potholes & forget it if u have a trailer. NO REFUNDS EITHER!! The lower sites literally look into the back of the residential trailers,horrible place. Bathrooms=awful, none of us showered.Felt like we were being watched by crack head residents, DO NOT GO HERE!!
