Getting Outdoors

At the heart of the park, the 218-acre lake provides a picturesque backdrop for water sports. The sandy beach is great for swimming and sunbathing, while a pair of boat ramps make it easy to launch canoes and kayaks. The lake also allows motorboats at "no wake" speeds. Anglers will jump at the chance to reel in bass, channel catfish, bluegill, and crappie from the clear waters of Prairie Rose Lake. Cast a line from one of the six fishing jetties or head out to deeper water.

Camping at Prairie Rose State Park

The Prairie Rose State Park campground enjoys a picturesque setting by the lake. Sites are spread across two campgrounds and offer plenty of shade, space, and privacy from your neighbors. The east campground appeals to campers in search of creature comforts and offers full hookup sites with electric, water, and sewer connections. Like most state park RV campgrounds in North America, Prairie Rose comes complete with restroom and shower facilities as well as a dump station. Kid-friendly amenities like a basketball court, horseshoe pits, and playground make the east campground a favorite with families.

Exploring the Area

We had an unusual reason for booking this van in that we were taking my sister to Nashville to see if she qualified for a clinical trial. We needed a vehicle that would be comfortable for her and had electrical so we could plug in her oxygen machine. This van had all we needed and more. I was slightly nervous to drive it, but the tech on the vehicle (and using my mirrors) made me feel secure as I changed lanes and navigated through what I felt were crazy highways in Nashville. More importantly, the owners were: very responsive, easy to work with, empathetic about the reason for our trip, and very accommodating. They did a great job of explaining everything to us as we oriented for our drive. If we ever needed to use it for recreation, I would not hesitate to do so.

The trailer was great for our family camping trip. Coleby was a great host while also being responsive and flexible. We will rent from Coleby again!

We had such a great time fall camping this year. Jay had the camper prepped and ready to go for our extended weekend trip. Everything worked great during our fall adventure. Thanks again Jay!
