I’m doing a tent camping and want water & electric hookup. Reply Campsite Photos says: Dec 1 2020 at 2:10 pm Hi Dara, I checked and wasn’t able to determine what a ‘premiere’ campsite has at Lake Skinner. It appears those sites are full hookups. For sure they have water & electric hookups.

Reply Campsite Photos says: Sep 10 2022 at 2:47 pm Hi Jun, Here is the schedule for Lake Skinner Recrreation Area’s Splash Pad: Splash Pad Hours: March 1, 2022 – October 31, 2022 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. | Tuesday -Sunday & Holiday Mondays (closed non-holiday Mondays for maintenance) Reply Richard S. Wiebe says: Jun 24 2023 at 12:58 pm Camping is nice. It gets 4 stars not 5 because on holiday weekends there is no patrols to stop the loud campers with their yelling and cussing until after midnight. Also the store is a let down. On hot days and the kids want an icee but the machine isn’t turned on or broken more times than I can remember. They had a descent restaurant about 7 years ago but it’s gone again. I’ve camped here more than 50 times so far.
