The free weight area is very small - maybe 2-3 benches & minimal mirror space. They do have a wide range of free weights. The pool is nice. They have a slide. They have different sections of the pool. During the right time of day it is nicely shaded by the trees. The service is dependent on who you get. You have a great experience or an "alright" experience. Is this a facility that deals with a wide range of age - which is great in most cases. I did have on experience that was no pleasant in my opinion. I asked the front desk "Where is the women's locker room?" The guy followed that question with "How old are you? *laughs* 17?" I replied with "I am 20 years old & where is the women's locker room?" I feel like that was a rude & condescending comment. I asked where the women's locker room is. Not to be laughed at and assumed to be under 18. I think laughing at me and assuming I was under age was unnecessary. Instead if he thought I was underage he could have just said the women's locker room is .... and we also have a girls locker room here ... But for the most part this is a nice family friendly place!

Sandling is a man made beach within Falls Lake State Park. They charged $10 for the holiday…read moreweekend entrance fee. Sandling is accessible to the fire pits for barbecuing and is very small. Perfect for families and small children. You can access the beach on Creedmoor Rd. This was the perfect place for a convenient beach day 4th of July weekend. It saved me the 4 hour trip to Bear Island. I arrived early around 10:30 a.m. and there were no crowds. We camped out near the showers and bathrooms. This park is perfectly lined with trees in abundance. Perfect for barbecuing. We enjoyed our morning picnic and the water was very relaxing. I appreciate how clean the sand area was and the garbage was well organized as well. I brought my mother who is 72 and I had concerns about the proximity of the restrooms and showers and overall access. I was relieved to discover how convenient the beach access was for those with mobility impairment and disabilities. There are no pets allowed and no alcohol permitted. I watched the park rangers escort someone with a pit bull to the parking lot to return home and a woman was asked to dump out several beer cans. You have been warned. They run a tight ship here. I plan to return throughout the remainder of the summer months.

When I picked up my son he said, "it's the best camp that I have ever been too." He has been to residential YMCA camp, Boy Scout Camp, and 4-H camp. He said, "the food was great." He enjoyed the stories, the cooking, and capture the flag. His only complaint was the session was too short. He would have liked to stay at Camp Flintlock longer. He wants to return again next summer.

If you want to learn about the Revolunary War this is the activity for you !!!…read moreI did not go to the campsite, they came to my childs school. It was a great program. Awsome !! Dressed in time period clothes, the people that came were nice, informative, and very polite. When working with kids that is not always easy, but they handled it with ease. Kept the kids interested, lots of fun things to do that were even interesting to me. They kept it at a level that was just right, the music was fantastic for beginning to end. These fouth graders had a blast and were kept entertained the whole time. My favorite however was the candle making, tho i did learn something at every station as i am sure every child did also, it was the candle making that was my favorite. The children were able to take home the candles, and many other items they made through out the day while the learned that lesson. Which included candle making, necklace making, rope braiding, old time games, dancing, quill and ink writing, and dress up(both boys and girls) There was a total of about 7 stations all together not including the begining and the end. They do offer a gift shop for all price ranges most not over ten dollars. I figured this went to support their program. The ending they shot two cannons and had pop quizes with prizes for the kids. Both the beginning and end children were able to hear the fife and drum, coming and leaving. I was happy with the whole experience. If you get a chance, really do check them out. http://campflintlock.com/
