We love Caravels for one reason; YOU are the customer and they aren't stuffy. Even now with the facelift, it is still a carefree environment. We can relax and we don't have to go anywhere if we don't want. They have a snack bar which is nice if you need a beer or pop, pastry, or hotdog! Their beds are awesome. You can tie up your boat ...

I love staying at the Caravel, I come from Colorado every year and it is alwys worth my while. The location is absolutely perfect, shopping, restaurants and everything you need, within walking distance. Lake access out your front door, how much better can it be?? The Walckers are gracious hosts and I plan to vacation there in the future.
Theres only one plus to staying at Caravel's Resort the view.This resort was a non-stop party place and was not a family resort AT ALL!The customer service was lacking.The room and the bathrooms were not clean.This is not a place my family would stay again.
