I just have to correct t her story. I remember the weekend she was talking about and I know for sure that her story is not completely true. For what she said about the security guard, well why doesn't she ask her husband how many time we did tell those residents that they had to shut down their music! And... More

If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet rustic getaway, this is NOT the place! The "resort" is on a highway, across from a lake. You cannot swim in the lake. The "cabins" are terrible. They are not rustic, they share a wall with the next "cabin", the beds are horrendous and sunken in the middle. There is an... More

Resort is a big word for this filthy place, I usually need to see it to believe it but I should have gone with the reviews I read here. Yes camping is about nature and bonding time with family and friends but to be honest is better if you go camping to a 3rd world country. Restrooms: Your are better... More

This place is gross. The pool is to gross to swim in. The lake in to gross to enjoy. The cabin's weren't even clean. We had to sweep our floor when we got there, and there were dead flies in the dishes. The fridge smelt like dead fish. We left after one night, and they would not refund our money,... More

We had a horrible experience at Lake Henshaw. We went with a group and the first 2 nights were fine. The third day and into the night was awful. The lake has a green color to it. I didn't want to put my feet in the water and was worried my dog would get sick. We left the lake after... More

.when I first looked up Lake Henshaw Resort, it looked like a very nice to go camping. I have an rv so was very excited to find out they had an area with full hoopkups. Wen I arrived at the resort, I admit I was a little skeptical because there were trailers amongst the campsite. My horror came when we... More

This place could really be a gorgeous diamond mine. It's such an awesome, breathtaking beauty of Lake Henshaw and its surroundings. Unfortuantely, it's not gorgeous or pretty inside the cabins. Definitely not worth $70 a night. If you're used to camping outside in tents and want to switch up to "cabin living" this might be the place for you. The... More
