The Horny Toad
I just booked a week vacation at Toad Cove from June 28 to July 5th in a Grand Suite wth a boat slip for the week. Looks like a very fun place to stay. Has anybody stayed there and what did you think?

I Have not stayed there because we live here but its cool to go to multi level bars resturant onsite sand volleyball court entertainment on weekends and close to all the things a boater needs.

Never stayed there, but I've been there plenty of times. Its a nice place, but just does not have that fun, casual lake atmosphere that it used to before it "accidentally" caught fire and was rebuilt. There are plenty more places I would rather go when at the lake.

I think it is fair to say, those of us that remember the "old Toad" complex, change is always hard to take.
That being said; The "current Toad Complex", is a VERY nice place, top shelf accomidations, great food, all the entertainment there is to offer and a large Marina area.
It is also a great home base, then you can travel and see what other places the lake has to offer.. If you get bored, it is definaetly your own fault.
Only thing you really need to beware of, is once you come to the lake it is addictive, next thing, you will be looking at property and want to b there all the time!

Looks like I should have a great time. I figured after a week here i will be highly tempted to be looking at property. Looks like I will be about 12 miles from partycove

And it will be a rough 12 miles on 7/4 weekend. There are several good places to go in that same area of the lake.
If you go out at night be careful. Toads is an area the water patrol hang out after dark since there will be lots of folks hanging out drinking there.
