About this space

Located at an old WPA resort that had the World's largest Concrete Swimming Pool and old Zoo made in caves. There are 2 RV sites and multiple tent camping sites. There is a lot of history associated with the area. Elvis and Bob Wills stayed there when the rock cabins were called Lake Cisco Courts in the 1950s.

We really enjoyed the access to the trails and the zoo. Some of the trails were difficult for my kindergarteners, but we're a blast. We all enjoyed fishing at the dam. Will do it again. Thanks.

Directions were easy to follow and the zoo, lake, and trails were a very short walk from camp sites. Exactly as advertised and helpful hosts. Thanks!
