We've been pent up for…read morethe last couple months, with all the travel restrictions, and so a visit to the Great Salt Plains State Park was just what the doctor ordered. The Park was beautiful and the camp sites were great. There was people here, but not enough to ever feel crowded in any way. We found a few trails to hike, and saw lots of great sites. Giving this a 4-star review, only because the bathrooms could stand some improvements. Other than that, we had an amazing time and the weather was perfect.

The Park Manager Mitch Schwartz needs some retraining on Customer Service and potentially park…read moremanagement. We got a pretty good scoop from a local explaining ( legitimized my complaint) the ill tempered Mitch and his Partner when discussing things like Park cleanliness, broken glass in the so called beaches- all which haven't been maintained for at least 3 to 5 years depending on who you talk to. Mitch the officer/ of sorts, had the typical can't handle truth from a customer attitude. I complained that they describe beaches and fishing within walking distance- while true, the beaches are littered and over grown with trash, diapers ( literally watch a staff on a cart look at the trash on the beach and keep going leaving behind the obvious diaper/ glass bottles and large liter bottle of coca cola right where my family was sitting at the tables). I described the beach conditions with broken glass, shown in my previous reviews online, and how nasty the beaches ( all 3) really were. Then, When I talk to locals, they describe the two officers as" hot heads that dont care". Apparently True- I was shrugged off and told the conditions were a " matter of opinion. Rather unprofessional to say the least. I have yet to hear from and of the council members ( I emailed all) and haven't seen a response. I ALSO contacted the New Director- no response. Apparently tax payers may not have a voice, but while the beaches look like crap and are unsafe for children, bare feat and all, the 40 empty pavilions aren't enough...they can put up new pavilions for the cabins but can't spend a grand or 2 to clean up their beaches. Terrible business planning and management. Terrible experience except for the camp hosts- and completely unprofessional. I may return but unlikely soon- that place looks run down. Ol Mitch said it himself, he " doesn't swim in that lake" No kidding. I bet his girls wpuld be caught on them beaches.

On Thursday we were 1 of about 5 campers in the entire Heimerman Point Campground. By Friday, it was about half full and quite busy- this definitely seems like a campground enjoyed by many on the weekends. I did not visit the onsite bathrooms to comment on them, but the campsites were very clean, the firepits well taken care of, and I love how there are labels on the campsites with your name showing your reservation. The parking fee payments are very easy to complete. The dump station is a bit archaic compared to other campsites we have been to, but it worked for the what we needed- to dump. We did see park rangers driving around but did not interact with employees in person, only by phone when we made the reservation.

I love flat water fitness that is out there, kayaks, single or double, paddle boards, so many options and such great people! Anxious to go back and explore the trails.

I hook it to the back of my spider pull it over and dump the tanks and from the tanks to the dump station as many times as I need but the rates for full-time are really really reasonable and it's quiet and peaceful. It has a small lake which is nice. Some spots have fire rings. They sell Propane on site at a reasonable cost. I have not been here through the winter yet so we will see how all that works out. I would definitely recommend if you are full timer that you can invest in an extended stay kit and some additional bottles so you don't have to move your motorhome or camp trailer down to the bulk tank to get propane the bathroom and shower facilities are well maintained if you choose to go that route When I first moved in, they did not have what I considered to be the perfect space for me but once it became available, the staff was very accommodating and helped me get set up a big shout out to James the maintenance guy. thank you so much for all your help and thank you to the young lady that I talked to on the phone about any issues and I'm sorry I cannot remember her name. I'm a terrible terrible person when it comes to that.

The people that come here should be ashamed at the way they leave their campsites. Glass broken everywhere. Bottles cans eating and cooking Utensils old fishing gear just everywhere The bait shop girls were talking about using the balloon on the sewer and blowing the line up and now it's just allowed to "run open" ... not fixed from loud conversation they were having in front of customers. It's become a dump and i would vote against ANY tax dollars being dedicated to this without a serious look at management. not worth the camp fees to come here. it looks like a homeless encampment.and their handicap showers do not work. so if you're in a wheelchair don't plan on the park being a place to shower
