Im leaving this review for a recent visit to sign up for their membership. It's going have positive and negative points. Mike was our host, he was great, we talked, laughed, and he was not aggressive in any way. We ended up not signing up to be a member, because it is not a fit for us right now. If you already own a RV, it's probably worth looking into. Now for the negative.... We are told we would get a $50 gift card for visiting, we paid $40 for the visit.... We also were told we would get 2 nights a cabin with no blackout dates, however that was not true. We had to book between April and November. In closing, if you have a RV and travel slot, it's probably worthwhile, but if not, it's a bad marketing attempt! read more

We arrived on a Saturday days (5:15 pm) before Memorial Day. We were provided the Annual Pass at Security and instructed to pick up the pass at the store. We stopped at the store , walked in and asked after standing in line at the cream line "Excuse me Sir, am I at the right space for the pass". He did not hear me so I asked again. The older lady rudely said be patient can't you see we are extremely busy. I rudely asked again, I'm only asking if I am at the right place. She cut me off and proceeded to repeat herself you need to be patient, do you expect to jump the line, she said I had a choice I could wait or leave. By this time I was embarrassed and was not going to allow her to talk to me in this manner. I said some remarks and stood my ground, proceeded to wait for her to make her ice cream sales (6 people) got my pass and she said thank you for your patience. I left but said out loud I only asked a question and I did not have a choice. Why pick up the pass at the store and not security? Why have a bitter sour person giving out the pass when clearly she had more interest selling ice cream? If the man had a hearing problem which she stated why did't she answer my question. I felt I walk in to an ice cream parlor not a store which is why I was asking.not a store. I hate this place and will not recommend to anyone. Customer service is a negative 1 read more

We stayed here after we purchased a new RV through camping world and they offer free camping if you visit a location and listen to their presentation. This campground was a nice one to try out our new camper and was spacious. There were 3 different lakes and they had a playground our one year old loved, as well as a putt putt and indoor arcade. We listened to their presentation and it seems like something we would like to purchase in the future, but not doable with our current situation. Never once did they make us feel pressured nor did they give us a hard time to try to get us to buy the membership, which was appreciated. All the staff we talked to were super friendly and helpful. read more

My husband and I visited this past weekend and it was great. Although they were still in the process of repairing damage from recent tornado, we had a relaxing weekend. The 90 minute presentation by our guide Rob was just that- a presentation. We didn't feel pressured to sign up for a membership. If not for other obligations we have we would have become members. Ricky the security guard would stop at our site just to see if we needed anything. As we were leaving the property manager ( I believe her name was Rose) directed us to dump station and was very kind even though we hadn't become members. We would definitely camp here again. I gave it four stars only because it appeared campground had no WI Fi. read more

Arrowhead Lakes Resort - Campsite by one of the lakes!! - Campgrounds Near Me - Wapakoneta, Ohio

I visited this resort to see it and look around, but I could not do much. The security at the front gate was highly unfriendly, blaming me for speeding and warning me to keep at 5 MPH. I assured them I was not trying to "speed", I was just visiting someone. I don't know what her name was but she is an older woman, and did not make me feel very welcome. I only stayed for a short time and then left. I can say that this is indeed quite tight security, but they really should be nicer and more welcoming instead of making people feel bad for wanting to visit someone. read more

this place is a joke! THIS IS A SCAM! They will take your hard earned money; lie to you and laugh while they get you into a contract! my husband and i lost 10000 to these people. the campgrounds is no better than a public campground. public campgrounds are better kept. yes they charge you up front and you get what you pay for. I pay 10000 for 10 years and have to pay a fee for what NOTHING. the place looks horrible. staff are mostly rude. i believe the only good reviews are people they pay to be honest. i will spend the next 10 years letting anyone know not to waste their money with this resort! unless you want to spend 10000 on weeds; rude people; resort staff that harrass you when you are the there. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! read more

If your into giving them a lot of money for your membership, then your at the right place! Wow I guess if you camp a lot it's worth it but they sure can hook you with the "truck or $20,000" give away! Don't be fooled by the shark type salesmen here. The "boss" sits behind a see through glass mirror to see how well his men are doing at reeling in the fish for dinner. It's ridiculous, an absolute scam, basically a timeshare business. If you value your money and time go camp somewhere else, these people don't care about giving you a good time. They just want your money. read more

This year-round resort offers a large indoor swimming pool, a clubhouse, boating, fishing, kayaking, playgrounds, mini golf, themed activities, and much more. Local attractions such as arts, culture, nature, sports, and more, entice you to get to know this little bit of paradise in West Central Ohio even better. Come join us; we want to show you what the excitement is all about! We are no longer able to enjoy the amenities and would like to give away our membership. Keep in mind, maintenance fee is $492 this year. You would need to pay the yearly maintenance fee. read more

It is a very nice resort. Love the campground and the cabins. There were too many kids in the hot tub with toys

This company will say whatever sounds good to get you to sign a contract with them, then will not honor the information you were given prior to signing the contract. We were told cabin rentals were $75 a night, half off in winter, that all cabins were pet friendly, none of which are true. They have doubled their rate, only a few of the cabins are pet friendly. The cabins themselves are very outdated with a lot of the appliances not working. When you try to talk to employees about any issues you have, they act like you are inconveniencing them. They now charge $75 for linen fee, and convenience fees to book online, so your membership fees cover nothing. Total scam, out thousands of dollars and have nothing to show for it. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Campground changed owners a few years back and promised major improvements. None of what they promised has actually happened. They sure do want to upgrade you every yearly meeting wanting more of your money. Some of the staff are friendly some are extremely rude and condescending. A security shirt in this place gives you the power to act like a jerk. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere to camp. read more

My review is on the "win a truck or $20,000 sweepstakes" thing they have on site. My husband & I went here because we got a call that our name was pulled from one of the sweepstakes boxes that you fill your name out to win a car. They mailed us a key & some info & said to come in on a certain day & time & if our key fit the truck then we won it. They also said even if we didn't win that we would be leaving with at least 2 of 6 prizes. In the fine print of the brochure it says we have the option to take a 90 minute tour of the facility. I called & asked about that beforehand & they said we would be put into a van & driven around campus, which eventually leads us to the truck key fitting. Well unfortunately that was misleading! We sat down in a large waiting room with several other couples, a guy comes out & takes you to another room with lots of small tables & a different "salesman" at every table with a different couple at every table. They show you brochures, stuff on a laptop, trying to get you to buy a membership to their company which offers multiple different campgrounds & then another that offers access to the campgrounds & other resorts/hotels in different states. He said it's nothing like a timeshare, except basically it is! The only difference is it's cheaper than your typical timeshare & the "maintenance fees/dues" never go up like a timeshare do. The van ride lasted about 10 minutes. Afterwards his boss came out & to explain lower pricing options to us, then finally we tried the key... which of course didn't fit. We left with $250 in gift cards to eoutlets.com & a 3 day 2 night vacation. The gift cards are more like glorified coupons because you can't use more than 1 at a time & nothing is cheap on the site. It's pots/pans, housewares, jewelry, watches & sports stuff. The vacation brochure I haven't really looked into yet, but when given to us I asked if it was a timeshare presentation vacation & he said not necessarily, but if we want to upgrade anything then we have the "option" to sit through one. I will say that our salesman was very nice & not very pushy, but we have done one of those timeshare vacations before where they are flat out relentless, rude & clearly just want your money at any cost to you. So basically we wasted $100 for a hotel, gas & several hours driving to/from here & all with a sick baby! ... all for some useless "gift cards" & a timeshare vacation. read more

Everyone was super helpful and friendly. There were lots of things to do here compared to other campgrounds I've been to. It was well maintained and clean. I would recommend this campground. read more

Look them up on Better Business Bureau (BBB), especially if you "win" or have a chance to win a prize.

Nice resort with lots of things to do. Indoor pool, 2 hot tubs, sauna, beach, 2 playgrounds, 2 fishing lakes, hay rides, activities, brand new putt putt, and a beautiful town called Wapakoneta. read more

An honest review from an employee of two years, for those who are looking to apply and become a member of. I have become to know many of the members on site and grew very fond of the members. Starting out as security and later maintenance, to then high end management. I did everything at and around the resort, from growing positive reviews to making the general park look than when I started. Pushing for new ideas and projects was my passion. I cared very much about the park and gave it my all, with 50-80hr work weeks, at very bottom low end salary pay and no benefits ever offered. I hoped that as time progressed, the new owners would take recognition of hard work and starlight those that show it. Instead, after countless hours under poor pay and rude, disgusted corporate behavior, and told I would be running two parks, I was let go with no reasoning. Many of the ideas that corporate had wanted to pursue were in sale's best benefits and not the members/resorts best benefit. I have always been told it's all about sales, but wanted to deny that and work alongside them as a team, but instead was proven wrong in the end. I unfortunately have been blackmailed to either delete truthful honest posts that haven't been formed or posted by myself (But by former employees themselves), or the sales management will attempt to ruin all new job opportunities for me, when new jobs call for references to the park. For seven months as a Resort Manager, I did exactly what I was told, traveled hundreds of miles for training, did weekly meetings, worked as hard as I could, and completing new tasks that never been done before. The reason for termination is "moving a different direction", which is a phrase that is told to every person they fire, given no real reason and blocking all communications. Working there, I gained PTO hours, but when requesting to use them I am told to not request those days and they are frowned upon, (screenshots taken). At many times, I was told by corporate I was doing a great job and they are shocked with how well I am doing. Then right after I would get told the opposite, with no ways of improvement but rude remarks and "I'm better than you" attitude. I have never been written up, or have signed any paperwork that states me being in wrong. The pros of the job is truly the members, sharing the same frustrations as you because the improvements and remarks that matter are not being addressed or taken seriously. Getting told lies and false information from the sales team and "member services" AKA, upgrades. This caused massive hours of operation staff to debunk and sadly break the news to members, as they were false. The staff that I worked with and built are also the pros, helping and working their tails off at terrible pay as well because "they are grunts", receiving and taking all blame for the information they were not told prior in the pitch. The cons of the job is honestly corporate management and the sales manager at the resort. Showing no remorse, and always thinking about the sale and money at the end of the day. This place could be wildly successful and fun to work at, as long as you play fake and do not share your own opinion. This is my honest review of Venture Out Resorts: Arrowhead Lakes, working as a former member, former security guard, former maintenance supervisor, and former Resort Manager. read more

We spent our wedding weekend here in a cabin. It was super cute and clean. The heat didn't seem to work the greatest, and it was pretty chilly, but for the first colder weekend in our area, what can you expect. We're looking forward to coming back and using all of the amenities- we only used the pool and hot tub since it was chilly. Very nice stay, thank you! read more

Our tour guide, Andrea started out well, promising to not be pushy. I was open minded but a little sceptical. We don't travel frequently because we have a medically complex child, so we usually just visit family and enjoy living on a lake. She proceeded to tell us that we aren't giving our children any quality of life! Well, we've been in and out of hospitals with open heart surgeries, trying to give our son a chance at life! She also talked about keeping "the kind of people who live in trailers" out of their parks... Which, while I live in a very nice house, I thought was quite an ugly and judgemental statement. She kept making snark comments as I tried my best to keep conversation light. At the end of it, after telling her no several times, she kept asking why. Well, the why is none of your business at this point because you didn't listen to anything we've said. You insulted our parenting for simply not traveling enough. You brought me to tears. While making idle conversation with you, I said we would probably be visiting Disney world for free, and you said we'll that must be nice. So I responded it would be through the make a wish foundation, so no, not really. Thanks for terrorizing us. You were pushy, snarky, and awfully rude. All because you didn't make a sale. read more

I would give this place (Venture Out) A BIG FAT 0 if it allowed. This place is a scam. We used the place once and it was one of the worst campgrounds we have been to. For all the money you pay, it's ridiculous. We were lied to when we signed up. There was no mention of a yearly fee when we paid them the $3995 up front. We have tried to get out of the contract but they said we could not until our 5 years were up. They said we could upgrade to the lifetime membership (REALLY). We want out of Venture Out, not pay them more money. It would be in their best interest to let us and other unhappy victims out of the contract vs. getting bad reviews. I reported them to the BBB. Please look at all the bad info reported about them to the BBB. If you do, you will steer clear. I would hate to see anyone else get scammed as we did. We paid our yearly fee (even though we are not using the facility) so it didn't hurt our good credit rating. Once we did, we get a call from them a month later saying we owe taxes on that amount. When my wife spoke to the person a month a go, she explicitly asked, "is this all"). The female on the line said yes. We paid and that was that until today when they said they just wanted to let us know that they charged our credit card for the taxes that were owed. Excuse me! I said we were told the $400 + was the total amount. She said that person was new and didn't know there were taxes. Another way to get more of our hard earned $$. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM. IT IS A SCAM. THEY LIE TO GET YOUR MONEY. Again, check out all the bad info on the BBB before you ever decide. read more

This program is a total fraud. Was told you can bring your pets even our pit-bull and German Shepherd. First place I tried making a reservation for told me definitely not. That we could not bring our dogs. Was told we could rent a cabin due to the fact we do not have an RV. Was supposed to be able to get a cabin for $30 night. Not true, some of the campgrounds only have cabins for $75 or $150 a night. We paid $15,000 for this program to only be lied to. Was told you can go anywhere and rent a condo for $399 a week. That's true but only if you can pick up and go next week and only to the places they have available. All other places are $799. Was told our payment wouldn't be more than $150 a month. Not true, our payment is $213 month. Condo's around Disney and high attraction area's are booked for year in advance so it's hard to get. Definitely unhappy with this program.
