We have been new to camping this summer and this was the 4th campground we've been too and it was…read morethe BEST one we've stayed at! we usually do weekend trips so my one flaw is that we didn't book a longer trip because there is so much to do, we only have time for like 1/3 of it. We're already planning. Trip next summer for a full week here. We can't wait to come back!!

Let me start by saying I rented 2 side by side RV sites next to each other because the website says…read morefor large group tenting these sites are bigger and offer space for group tenting..my site hardly fit my tent and one other tent. I couldn't even put my screen house. Day 2 it rained which happens wouldn't have been an issue except the road gave away from above making 2 foot valley of water and rocks that slammed into my tent and caused one of the cars to only be on 3 wheels and another with the 2 ft ditch underneath it not being able to even drive out. when I went to the office to tell them they said " that's the risk you take when renting an RVtv site" it was NEVER TOLD TO US THAT SITE FLOODED OR THAT THERE WAS A CHANCE THE ROAD WOULD HAVE MADE A MOUNTAIN OF ROCKS SMASH INTO MY TENT. Also they put logs around the edge of the site that held in the foot of rain that accumulated soaking everything we brought. IT took 4 hours for them to come and refill the valley of dirt that gave way under the cars and they send 2 young girls with buckets to help recover the tent from the avalanche of rocks. day 3 during breakfast I look up and a golf cart was racing toward another 2 of our cars and slammed into between them causing damage to both cars. A 3 and 4 yr old decided to play in it causing this damage. Had the cars not been there the golf cart would have gone right into my daughters tent that had my granddaughter sleeping in it.. again the office was contacted and didn't even come to help the situation for over an hour. When they got there said " well things like this happen and called the police to file a report" They never once came and talked to us or offer an ounce of compensation. This campground is very expensive and canceled all activities because of the rain which I understand but could have rescheduled some of them the following day since we only paid to go to this place because of what they had to offer. The manager of guest relations was extremely rude and wanted nothing to do with anyone and sent the young assistant to me whenever I went to the office. They did absolutely nothing to make the situation any easier for any of us. I will NEVER EVER go back there. Why would they advertise large tent groups to rent an RV site if the sites flood??? Terrible experience never again!!

The hosts were very nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. The grounds were in meticulous condition. It is definitely worth the very reasonable rates. The campground is very quiet, the sites allow plenty of room and there are a couple fishing (Bass) ponds on the grounds. One of the quietest campgrounds I have been to in quite a while. Try it out if you are in the area.

Turtle Kraal Campground is the dumpiest of dumps…read more There is NO WAY this place takes your breath away like another poster said unless you're talking about what a dump it is like another poster said. And NO....it is not clean as a whistle. Since 2014 they have four reviews. This speaks volumes. The place has NOTHING going for it. Wide open, hot as hell in the Summer with no shade and bees everywhere. If you leave anything out during the week, expect it gone when you return. Imagine being among people who steal from you. Report it to the office and they do NOTHING and say they haven't heard of any other reports. Report to the police and they tell you they have been out there MANY TIMES with people reporting things stolen. No activities at all. NOTHING. They have some lazy really fat guy named Fred Weber going around in a golf cart complaining about the children riding their bikes too fast. What the heck is too fast? If you have any plans on even thinking of this dump, call the police first and ask them the history with reports of items stolen first. Pay more money, go somewhere else, and have an enjoyable vacation. Could I give ZERO stars?

This was our second time staying here, after a 3 year hiatus. This park is divided between the…read moregood half on one side of pool house and mostly run down seasonal half near entrance. Unfortunately. We were on the wrong side of the tracks for this stay. Hardly worth the $60 during the end of season. The site was dirty with trash and a fire pit that wasn't cleaned. Our picnic table had muddy dog prints all over it and the water connection was less than 6 inches off the ground and just above the sewer connection, which made attaching sewer connections impossible. They have posted 9 pm quiet hours, yet our 9 pm late arriving seasonal neighbors were loudly partying and drinking until well after 1 AM. Quiet hours simply are not enforced. Fortunately, we only had one night remaining, cut this trip short, just not worth the money we are spendjng.

It is a shanty. We walked in to the office and got hit with the Thousand Trails sales pitch before we could even check in. My guess is that they put you in the ghetto section if you are not a member. Our site was not level and the 30amp would not work. We had to use a 50amp adapter. We paid for 3 nights but we were tired and needed some rest so we got out of there the next morning. Gross!

This was in the middle of a 2 month trip and we simply needed an answer, so we could make other arrangements if we couldn't get in. I called and emailed Red Apple 3-4 times a week. Silent for 6 months. Then when they finally returned calls, they did t go in order received. One friend got a call and got a poor site, with his first call to them two months after all of our calls. When they did call back,the woman was incredibly rude. She offered me the only site available and said, "we have regular returning customers", who we book earlier than our normal calendar and they book a year in advance. This would have been nice to know. My discussion with this woman, wasn't about the site, but was how they advertise. She wanted to argue and could only repeat that she was NOW returning my call (months later and weeks after the park was open) and said "take it or leave it. Traveling with 5 others, we had to leave it and found an amazing RV Park a few miles away. The employee there welcomed all of us. What a contrast. Especially after booking at 25 other rv Parks on this trip. I had heard this is a nice park. I don't doubt that, but what a disappointment. No zero's available for this park, but def zero for their reservations and favoritism system.
