My stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park was generally pleasant, with clean accommodations and a friendly staff. However, the lack of accessible beach areas was disappointing and parking could be a hassle for larger groups. Overall, the experience was enjoyable with lovely views and a nice atmosphere.

I had a lovely stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful lake views. However, the cottage I rented had some maintenance issues, like a malfunctioning microwave and TV. Overall, the setting was charming, and the customer service was warm and responsive, which made my visit quite enjoyable.

The cottage I stayed in was charming but needed some updates. The microwave was barely functional, making cooking a challenge, and the TV in the bedroom had an error message that prevented me from watching anything (frustrating!). The bedding was comfortable, but some of the furniture felt outdated.

Service

The staff were incredibly friendly and always eager to help. They responded promptly when I reported the TV issue, which I appreciated greatly (it made a difference!).

The park's location is lovely, nestled in a wooded area with short walks to the lakeside. However, I noticed the park doesn't have extensive hiking trails, which could be a downside for avid hikers (I prefer longer treks).

Dining

I had a nice meal at the lodge's restaurant, with typical American food that hit the spot. The dining area offered scenic views that enhanced the experience, but it didn't offer a wide variety, which was a slight letdown.

Facilities

Facilities like the pool were clean and inviting, but some recreational areas, like the mini-golf, were closed for renovations when I visited. I enjoyed the volleyball and tennis courts, which looked well-maintained (lots of family fun available!).

My stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park was quite enjoyable, with clean accommodations and friendly staff contributing to a relaxing atmosphere. However, the beach access was disappointing since it has been closed during my visits. The newer cottages were fantastic, offering ample parking, though I did find the older cottages a bit cramped for larger groups.

My stay at Rough River Dam State Resort Park was mostly relaxing, thanks to the beautiful lake views and friendly staff. However, I was a bit disappointed with the beach situation since I heard it's been closed for years. While the cottages had their charm, I found some amenities like a fully operational TV lacking. Overall, it was a solid experience with areas needing improvement.

The park is situated in a serene area away from the hustle and bustle, making it a great escape, but the lake doesn't provide much shore fishing access.

The pool area was clean, and while the mini-golf was basic, it was nice to have some activities on-site. But the parking situation, especially near the older cottages, was a bit of a hassle.
