My decision to review Mountain creek and become a member of this site was motivated mostly by review #1. To explain, I was looking for the campground's upcoming festival schedule and came upon this website/review. First, the review and then response to the comments of Lori L.
Mountain Creek is a laid back campground - it is simple, primitive, and rustic with not a lot of boundries as most campgrounds go, although some would not appreciate this and if you insist on state park type rules, don't come here becuase it is not a structured, high volume campground. If you need something, ask, don't expect. I stayed in September and it was so open and nobody else was camping nearby so I let my airedale run along river for short time and he loved it. If you are a dog owner, how cool is that? He did go back on leash. I'm not suggesting anyone can do this here, it was my bad, but my point is that I would not have done that at most campgrounds - but mountain creek is big with a lot of room - there's no numbered sites I know of. If you want to exhale and enjoy nature here you go.
Except for the great festivals, when my nonhippie, educated, professional husband and I stayed at this campground in our microlite, we were not among crowded, camping cubicles. The riverfront sites don't have electricity so if you want to be on the river in a trailer, be prepared but it's worth it. We could literally jump into the river from our campsite or short walk down to it- the view was also great. I think this area is the best but it cannot accommodate more than primitve sites due to flooding. I don't believe they let you take a big RV to this area - and I would not want to, as they have hookups on higher ground, along with some cabins.
As for the first review, wow, so sorry Lori L. your experience was bad. However, i f you want to stay at a Hilton, don't go to a Motel 6 and expect the same. My big issue is your totally negative and degrading stereotyping of anyone you encountered. You say "you have nothing against hippies", but wow, you contradicted yourself with your totally predispositioned, degrading comments with each incident, yet never described anything objectively worthwile as a review. Hippies need some money, dont care about telling time, or technology, what an expert. If you encountered an area non-white, like the caribbean, and did not like the service, what racial stereotypes would you state as fact - like you did here? Why did you stay here to begin with if you did the reseach? Or could I stereotype you and assume you did not pay for this trip?
Negative, narrow minded, biased comments about the employees that are not even descriptive of their service or lack of, insult the entire community and not just mountain creek. Your entire review was geared at making degrading, offensive, comments for your immature selfish amusement that is inappropriate and not appreciated. Take your snot nosed sense of humor elsewhere.
How was the float trip, the river - no descriptions there, just nasty remarks about a business that is wow, totally inappropriate. I am surprised the owner was nice in her response in that, while taking responsibility for her employees, only accused you of exaggeration.
Just because these people are not protected racial minorites, you don't have the right to call them meth heads or worse, child molestors - I speculate with the kids bus comment - whose interpretive mind was really in the gutter? I saw nothing of this behavior and stayed not long after you did. This site is not to bully and degrade classes of people from where you stayed at but to provide useful info for others. Your inappropriate, bigoted comments by the way, are against the rules on this site. read more
