My boyfriend and I reserved a tent site down in the back of the campground for a weekend. There are…read moreonly 6 tent sites, the remainder of the campground is for RVs. They definitely cater to RVs here, we were not treated well from the second we arrived. The person checking us in, I'm assuming is part owner, yelled at us for going through the gate too quickly. When I arrived at the gate, there was a sign that said to call a number so that they could let you in so I did and on the call I told her that there was someone behind me and that there were two cars, but you could tell that she was obviously distracted because she said OK come through and so I waved my boyfriend through, and then the gate crashed down on his car. He was able to get out of it very quickly, and there was no damage to the gate. But when we walked in, immediately the reception was poor because she was mad that we had two cars go through the gate instead of one. I said "you should have a sign." She says "there is one." After the fact we took a look at this "sign." There is a very small microscopic sign on 8x10 paper with a ton of really small writing and not very clear at all that it should be one car at a time. I would recommend that they have one specific sign that very clearly states "one car at a time" in extremely large font with nothing else on it, because clearly it was not obvious to us, or others for that matter. She went on to tell us that it's happened several times and that's how they broke their last gate, etc. etc. Well, I would think that maybe you would learn your lesson? make it more obvious that it's one car at a time? Pay attention when the person on the other line says there are two cars and maybe specify that one car should go through at a time? We had never been to this campground before, so we were very displeased from the start just based on that reception.
Saturday went pretty well initially, we were the only ones down by the water aside from one other couple who was extremely nice and quiet. However, halfway through the day, as we were trying to enjoy peace and quiet, we heard the noises of construction for the remainder of the day as they were taking down the docks at the end of the boat launch, down a dirt road that goes right through the tent campsites. This was not told to us in advance, we had no idea this was going to happen. And when we stayed here, it was the first weekend of October. There was no sign, no warning that said that they were going to be doing this. all we heard all day was construction noise. And even better, they used the tent campsite right next to ours to load all of the pieces so we literally heard construction noises for the entire time we were camping. We thought maybe we could get away with a nice morning breakfast without construction noise on Sunday, but we were incorrect as they continued to do this Sunday morning as well. Why wouldn't they wait until people check out at the end of the weekend when people check out to do something like this? It's not even like it was the last weekend of the season or anything. We were extremely disappointed given how much money we spent on the site.
The only positive is that they have water at every site and the pond is absolutely beautiful. There is a bald eagle nest and we saw the bald eagle when we were there. you can launch your kayaks or canoes from the campground, and there are nice trails around the pond as well. the only positives of the entire experience.
We will never stay here again.
