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! We give this place 5 YUKS. Keep driving!

We stayed from May 1 - June 17. We stay here each year and will be back in the Fall. Why 4 stars and not 5. Internet is almost nonexistent. Catch it as you can and be prepared to be kicked off frequently especially on the weekends. In the past they contracted with a 3rd party and you could buy high speed internet for a week or a month, but they no longer offer it. If you work from home in your RV it would be difficult. I can set my phone as a hotspot but the data is also sketchy at best now that the trees are fully leafed out.

Note for that reason there were so many mosquitos There was so much to do, which made it easy to keep everyone entertained.

The risers on the speed bumps were way too high. It cause our burners to come loose, a shade fell from the window, and one of the slides skipped a tooth causing it to not open properly. Also, the WIFI was terrible. We live out of our camper and rely on a decent WIFI to pay bills and communicate outside. When we returned to our hometown I had to drop my camper off to a RV repair center and spent several hundred dollars to repair it. Needless to say our stay was a two out of five star review.

My husband and I stayed at this campground for a few days and thought it was very nice. I loved…read morethat the spots had a fair amount of concrete ( so helpful for rainy days when you don't want to track in mud). There was not a lot of shade where we were, but we were in the section that has larger rvs, some of the smaller spots seemed to have shade. It was a nice, quiet park, and also seemed to be very dog friendly. There is a dog park which was a very nice touch, as well as free dog cleanup up bags and a place you throw the used bags. I did not get to use the laundry or the public restrooms so I can't attest to how those work... the cable was great, and was such a nice touch. When we first arrived someone drove us to our site with a golf cart which was also really nice. We enjoyed this park, and would stay here again. I'm not sure of where the negative reviews come from, we really enjoyed our stay.

The staff was outstanding, friendly, helpful, and genuinely pleasant throughout our stay. That said, the campground feels noticeably more crowded than it did a couple of years ago. The former ropes course has been removed and replaced with additional campsites, cabins, and RV spots. While I understand the need to grow, the extra density has taken away some of the charm and space that made the campground feel more family friendly. Traffic was another concern. There seemed to be more golf carts and vehicles than before, often moving too quickly through the campground. With limited traffic calming measures, I didn't feel as comfortable letting kids ride their bikes around as I did on previous visits. Noise was the biggest issue. The train passing through at night wasn't ideal, but it was manageable. More disruptive was a large group of young adults camping nearby who partied until after 2 a.m. both nights. Between the late night noise, and a car alarm that sounded for an extended period overnight, getting a good night's sleep was nearly impossible. Overall, this is still a campground with great amenities, a fantastic location, and exceptional staff. However, the increased crowding, traffic, and late-night noise have made it feel less family oriented than it used to, especially in the tent camping areas.

It comes though about 3 times throughout the night and literally shakes the ground. Be sure to not to camp near the railroad tracks!! Weekends are packed and it's wall to wall people. There are so many rental trailers and alot of seasonal permanent trailers! As with any beach scene you have alot of people who are there to party, the campground has its share of loud rude campers. If quiet is what you're looking for, this probably wouldn't work for you. I will say the playgrounds are very nice and the pools are very nice. It's very close to the beach which is convenient. For a camping site with electric and water I paid $129 a night in the middle of July from Wednesday through Monday.

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.
