    The morning after
    Holly W.

    Two nights stay. Check in super easy but lacked shared information. Was given a map and told our campsite number. Where are the bathrooms? Store hours? How do we get discounted tickets to the park? We had 2 sites with pre-set up tents (yeah I loved this idea and it made tent camping so much more enjoyable! It was only $10/night! Cheap!) One site was partially flooded the first day. And other customers drove through the puddle splashing like fools! I liked that there were accessible garbage barrels in the woods, changed multiple times a day (we watched.) Our site easily could see the camp store and the playground which was great since out 11 year old and the 9 year old wanted to be there with all the other kids! LOTS OF KIDS! Friday night- group of 10 kids ranging in age from 9-16 were running around. even at 1:30am when I went to bed! Security was circling all night. The kids were evading. when we slipped into our tents the kids came in an were scouring our site! Never have I ever experienced this before at a campsite! Then I laid there thinking about what did they steal, are they going to come back? 10 minutes later they came running through screaming and woke up my whole family (19 month old included!) The next morning I immediately went to security- he informed me he corned the kids at 3am in the woods. Spoke with the Mother who was sleeping and asked how she was supposed to watch them if she was sleeping??!!! (No joke!) They got kicked out. Kudos to LCC for doing the right thing. + Good playgorund area + clean facilities + super nice store on premises +security detailed is present + close to the park +pre-set up tents is a win

    I had previously stayed at Cabin #4 and this is the second time I have stayed at this camp site. So it was to my surprise that we discovered bed bugs at Cabin #2. My friend has extreme sensitivity to bugs and she immediately showed bites after the first night. Our accommodations were Friday-Sunday. At first we thought it was a mosquito as we did see it around but on Sunday is when we had physical proof. My friend had woken up in the middle of the night to visit the bathroom and she saw it crawling on her face. We checked out in a rush that morning leaving 2 bundles of wood as well as other paper product we had brought with us. We also had to throw out bags, sleeping bags and pillows. The camp store was informed upon our check out and we provided them proof in a piece of paper towel. Neither one of their staff had any words to say and not even an apology. I called much later that day and asked for a manager and I was told there wasn't any available so I left my name and number. Monday I still had not received a call back so upon calling I was informed that the manager will not be in until Thursday and that she was a supervisor so perhaps she could help me with my inquiry. Immediately she said the supervisor will be in and that was the end of it. I am hoping they are taking this matter seriously and did not place anyone in Cabin 2. Having to go home immediately and cancel all plans just to be sure we didn't bring this pest home with us is a nightmare in itself! Cabin #8 was not booked and decorated so I wonder if it wasn't booked for the same reason. We had a great time only because of the company but could've been anywhere. I cannot say if I can recommend this place or if I will even consider even coming back at all. I also had to read the FAQ for further information and call multiple times just to get some answers on general questions the first time around. Thanks but no thanks.

    BED BUGS! A couple of friends and I checked in July 24th 2023, We stayed in a cabin that was bed bug infested! The first night we assumed the couple of bites were from mosquitos but after the second night we woke up with 10x more bit.... After looking into the type of bites we checked our mattress and saw bed bugs. We reached out to the campground to try to get refunded for the awful experience of getting eaten by bed bugs along with having to bug bomb every single thing we brought with us As to not bring them home with us. We have not received any word back from the consumer service yet. We are looking into hiring a "bed bug lawyer" and I suggest anyone who had a similar experience do the same. Has anyone else tried to contact the campground after leaving with no returned emails? I do not want to sue to get a refund but if no one reaches out I don't see another option.

    Bedbug bites

    I have rented a cabin at the campground for a few years without incident. My family has always enjoyed our time there. Just be aware that with any traveling you can pick up unwanted and certainly uninvited guests to bring home. Bedbugs have become an issue at the campground in the cabins and huts. Just take precautions while there and certainly before you return home!!!

    Tree blocking WiFi

    No one was the entry building, should have had sign for check in at general store. Sites have 50amp,cable,water NO sewage dump. Shower rooms were dirty, they cleaned them only once a day that I saw. WiFi was non existent at our site, large tree block the signal. Ladies at counter were very nice. For a quick stay campground is good for that.

    See a closing time? Nope? Cause it's when they want

    They are so far from customer service. They are 100% horrible at customer service. The place is super cute but lake compounce is a horrible company to have anything to do with people. 1st, we wait over 40 minutes in line just to get to the gate (there is no way to get to the campground without going through the main parking area. 2nd, they say there's a tram. NOPE! Not in a long time but they still advertise it. 3rd. The store doesn't take cash. 4th. The park closed hours early due to rain but no refund is given. 5th. The store in the campground closes at 8pm UNLESS it rauns, then they close whenever they want without telling campers. They want you to only buy their wood but close early. Again, super cute place if only it was run by a better company

    The one found on my face.

    I was looking forward to having a 2 night stay fun filled weekend with friends and my children. To my damn surprise, we discovered bed bugs at the cabin we were staying in, specifically CABIN #2. I have extreme sensitivity to bugs and immediately the bites were visible. At first, I thought it was due to mosquitos but by Sunday my daughter and I had bites all over and I had proof because when I woke up due to being itchy, their was one on my face. In that moment, we got the heck out of there not before throwing out most of our items like wood, camp gear, food, boxes, pillows, blankets and any material we thought a bed bug could get themselves in. My friend and I went to check out and informed the people on duty what was happening and brought the bed bugs in a paper towel. Neither one of their staff, their were 3 of them, had any words to say and I mean nothing. They looked at use, the bed bug and each other and didn't say a word. My friend called much later that day and asked for a manager. She was told there wasn't no one available. Once Monday came around and their was still no call back. When my friend and I called at a later time on Monday, the woman on the phone said she was a supervisor so perhaps she could help with any inquiries we had. Immediately, after hearing the story, she said the manager will be in on Thursday, gave us the manager direct line and cleaned her hands just like that. This past weekend, at that campground, was a total fail. I hope they didn't place someone in there right after us, after we let them know about the issue. We will be calling back on Thursday October 6, 2022. I'm not ever going back, period.

    We had a great time at Bear Creek. It was our first time staying, but we've had season passes for years. Finally I gave it a try. Kid and I had a teepee. It was great. Its elevated on a trex platform. Clean with a little fridge, electricity, a lamp and a fan with five cots. Deceptively large! Tram to and from the Park is a great idea and ran back and forth regularly. Hardly a wait. The campgrounds are immaculate. Great little playground. Very friendly staff. Fun organized evening games for kids and families. We had a fun surprise of the Hartford Wolf Pack mascot and promo crew playing hockey on the pavement with the kids. So much fun! Plenty of roomy, clean showers and bathrooms. Never a wait. The hum from the incinerator becomes white noise before you realize it. It's a good first camping weekend for the kid. I think I will make it a Labour day camping tradition.

    I have been to this campground several times now, and I like how close and convenient it is from our town. There are a whole lot of shopping options from Walmart to Aldi if you need supplies, food and such. The restrooms and showers are some of the cleanest I have seen in a campground. Another reviewer said he found the staff prickly, but I have always thought they were very friendly, one of the girls even recognized me from a previous visit. The trash incinerator has a humming sound that you will tune out after some time and wasn't distracting at all. The only thing that I think they need is another small bathroom building on the other side of the tent section, in the morning it felt like eternity walking there to seek relief.

    The Fitness Center for women is local, small gym that's currently moving to a new location…read more Generally, the staff is very pleasant and polite, and they help you with everything, take free measurements for you and all. The trainers are VERY nice and polite. The owner, however, is anything but. I signed up twice --- the first time before I had gone to college, and had enough free time to commit to a schedule. It worked out fine until I had to cancel due to financial problems (I enrolled in college and could no longer afford to be in college and to afford the $41.48 membership fee, so I had to cancel.) I did this legitimately, by paying the $99 cancellation fee after about 5-6 months. After that, since I was in college, I did not attend the gym for about 2-3 years, until this summer when I had about 3 months to sign up again, this May (my new contract actually began 5/29/13). So, I thought fine, I can afford this until I get a stable income after graduating college (I am graduating this year.) However, as the months passed on, I noticed another charge on my bank account for $46.59 in ADDITION to the $41.48 which was already taken out. I was fully aware of the yearly $25.00 fee, which had already came out, but this was something else. This extra charge was explained to me (much later, I might add) and the staff of the bank as an "insufficient funds" charge. The $20 "insufficient funds charge" + $41.48 - $46. I called the gym the very day I noticed the charge, and immediately asked to speak to the owner, however she was on vacation at the moment and they said I needed to wait for a week until she got back. This was not acceptable due to the fact I had missing funds in my account at the moment, and I could not wait for the owner to sort it out with me. I am a college student and need EVERY cent in my account, and I do not account for such errors like "double billing" and other things that would cause my account to go into the negative. I had to call my bank and file a chargeback for the extra amount of the $46. Bank of America explained this charge as a merchant error, and the bank refunded me the amount. The gym owner very rudely stated when she called today, that she disputed the charge against her company, because it was "not her error" and said that the bank is going to retract the refunded amount from my bank. The owner, Kristie, was VERY rude and didn't seem to be very understanding of the problem. She insisted that she "did nothing wrong", and when I mentioned i'd like to cancel out of pure frustration and because I was moving out of town soon (and would be signing up with a much cheaper gym) in addition to all the trouble this has caused me with the bank (with overdraft fees and calling both the bank AND the gym to

    I joined the Fitness Center For Women last June after having an annual physical that left me…read morefeeling very upset about my physical condition and weight. The nurse practitioner recommended it to me, and I have no regrets at all about joining -- it has been a wonderful experience. When you start, they evaluate your fitness level, and design a workout for you, also spending an hour of time with you making sure you know how to set up the machines and how to do each exercise without hurting yourself. I worked out on my own mostly over the summer and also tried the hula hoop class with Tanya. Not only is it a very fun class -- it is a good workout that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat. This Fall, I joined the Diva Boot Camp. I am far from a Diva, but I have found a great group of women who support each other with making it through some tough workouts and do so consistently. Kristie, the gym owner, leads the camp, and she keeps the workouts varied and interesting. She is encouraging and tough all at the same time. I was new to the area, and this has really made me feel like I have a community of people who are becoming friends and who are striving together to meet their goals. Next June, when I go back for my annual physical, I suspect it will be a very different experience. For anyone who has not tried an "all women's gym" and is curious -- I highly recommend it. It just takes the edge off and let's you focus on your workouts and not worry about whether you look presentable. There is not a lot of vanity -- it's a place where women can work out and feel at ease whatever your size or fitness level. Go for it -- you have nothing to lose (except a few pounds) ; )
