We spent a summer at Oxbow Campground. The owner Tom was not too friendly when I first called asking about a seasonal rental but then he called me back and he was much nicer. We spent a season there from June - October. When we pulled in one afternoon in June to unload our truck into our camper for the season, the owner sent one of his workers to tell us to get out truck out of there. I asked if we could keep it here for 1/2 hour to unload and they made a big problem out of it. We were right in front of our camper, just not in the parking space on the side away from our door!! The only pro is that if you do need help, the owner is there to answer questions and help usually. And he did let us bring our 4 dogs which was more than usually allowed. We ended up taking 3 of our dogs to stay somewhere else halfway through the season as he didn't want them there. He hates dogs in general and a barking dog is the worst thing that can happen to him apparently. He gets so upset, one would worry about his blood pressure. The one dog we had there is an 11 pound Shih-Tzu....very quiet! The problem is that even with one dog, we always felt we were being watched. He even yelled (excessively) at my 70 year old boyfriend about something which was totally unnecessary - we aren't "low-lifes" and not used to being treated that way. The owner has a rule that dogs are not allowed in the ponds, but as one other reviewer said....the ponds are not even nice. Ok in the Spring, but by summer they are very stagnant. Out dog went over to take a drink out of one of them, and one of the workers yelled at my boyfriend! Its not even nice to walk around...by the time all the campers are there, it is really crowded and its just very average. Also, the owner has a good friend who he hangs out with at his campsite....this guy stays there seasonally in one of the sites up front close to the entrance to the grounds. This guy is the biggest jerk I have ever met. He actually has a mental/emotional problem and he thinks he can yell and say whatever he wants because he is a friend of the owner, Tom. And he gets away with it. The guy came out of his RV @ 9:30pm one Saturday night screaming at the tops of his lungs that our truck lights shone into his window while we were pulling in. Owner also wants a very quiet campground but he lets in all the bikers for bike week... those bikes aren't quiet. And there is a very loose policy on smoking pot apparently because we smelled it several times and we weren't even close to the majority of the campsites.... not so great for a wholesome family environment. I also made monthly rent payments on time, everytime, but its a good thing I paid in a check as several times the owner called me and said my payment wasn't received, but I had the cashed checks to show I did pay. If you want to stay in the area, I would recommend the Lake Massasecum campground with a real lake. I am writing this review much later than when we stayed there as we were just talking about the summer we were there, and we still both feel it was the WORST summer we've ever had. I thought camping would be fun, but there are more negative things I could say....very odd and nasty things that happened while we were there....but I think you will get the idea there are probably much better places. read more
