2 big slides are still there that dump you into the swim lake. There's a really nice pool next to the swim lake. You will see a few gators, but they rarely hang around the swim lake.

Yeah, it's secluded, but not that secluded.Bassmaster said:
We take our boys there every summer for a weekend. The cabins aren't fancy by any means, but it is much better than tent camping in the summer. There is not a lot to do, so I would never stay more than two maybe three nights. We mainly just fish, swim, and put around on the golf cart. The boys love it. They can perch jerk off of the front porch all day long. If they are slow on the reel, there is a good chance that one of the resident gators will have an easy meal. It happened to my oldest when he was 3 and he was livid. They also pick you up in a horse and carriage for a Saturday morning breakfast buffet. The food is decent and the kids love the carriage ride.
Jerking perch I would assume.drumboy said:Bassmaster said:

Huh?
Ditto.Quote:
It used to be Chain-O-Lakes, and I spent a lot of time camping up there when I was growing up.

I think the fishing up there is catch & release for visitors/renters.

I'm not sure if they are still there, but 3 canoes may or may not have sank in various lakes in the spring of 2000 from some kids who went there after prom rather than to Galveston.randy828 said:
Great time! Cabin was clean (we stayed in the Jim Bowie cabin), we caught fish, horseback riding ($45/person for about a 45 minute ride), swam in the cold azz lake, canoeing ($25 for 8 hour rental...there was an all day rental, but I don't remember what the cost was...8 hours was enough for me...no one hour rate..8 was the least), hay ride and smores...and plenty of alligators.
Didn't attempt any porch perch jerking!
My son had a blast and we will go back.
Were you guys too cool for Galveston?aTm2004 said:I'm not sure if they are still there, but 3 canoes may or may not have sank in various lakes in the spring of 2000 from some kids who went there after prom rather than to Galveston.randy828 said:

Nope. One of my friends, who was one of the most popular guys in the school (so why we were friends is beyond me), his parents said they'd pay for the place if we agreed to let his mom go to be the chaperone. Considering we were all broke as eff, we agreed to it. She gave us a budget and we found a place in Galveston, but I found COL was cheaper and told him to ask his mom if we could use the difference in the budget vs. what we found to buy beer. She agreed, thus we booked 2 cabins at COL. What was supposed to be about 10 of us initially ballooned into about 20 once a couple cars of girls showed up looking to have some fun. Who were we (the ones whose prom date's parents wouldn't let them go) to tell them to leave?drumboy said:Were you guys too cool for Galveston?aTm2004 said:I'm not sure if they are still there, but 3 canoes may or may not have sank in various lakes in the spring of 2000 from some kids who went there after prom rather than to Galveston.randy828 said:
