I've never been but asked hubby about it (he's been several times as a teenager) and he mostly remembers it being hot, like 85 at night. Not sure what time of year you're planning on going but if during the summer months I'd want AC on that houseboat for sleeping comfortably. Other than that he says it was fun swimming etc but when I asked him if we should may be plan a trip he said no (he likes to fish now and I guess Mead is not really a fishing lake?)
