The twenty minute breaks are good, it gives you time to rest or take a needed break from the water and check to make sure everyone is accounted for. The water is absolutely beautiful, it is so clear for a lake. If you like to camp for a week end they provide a area for that. I can remember making a lot of memorable times at Lake Hudson and hope they continue to run it the way they do. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to enjoy a great day in a very safe environment.

However, after enjoying the lake for about 2 hours, I was called out of the water and told I needed to cover up because apparently my bathing suit did not fit their definition of one. The manager told me it looked like a "thong" and was not a bathing suit? I don't appreciate being publicly slutshamed. Also, $9? Cmon. The water was nice but I didn't get to enjoy it for very long because apparently my bare ass distracts the folk on the beach and all hell was about to break loose!

If it wasn't for a permanent guest on pulling in, we would've badly damaged the motorhome with an overhang limb. We arrived at night and were given a spot for a week. We were towing a jeep and could not even turn into our spot, even though we had rented a pull through spot. And then the spot was not level, and there was mud all around, which got tracked into our motorhome. It seemed awful expensive being that this is the off-season and we stayed for a week. The campsite is the closest one to our daughter's house and we may have to come again, but it's not a place that we really like the only really positive note was that we could walk our dog in their wooded area which has paths and it is fairly large.

My review is based on my annual experience over the past eight years. This year, several of my…read moreconcerns appear to have been addressed. While it's too late for the mass departure of annual members this year, I hope this signals that Cross Creek is heading in the right direction. There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Cross Creek raising its rates every year. After eight years of annual camping, our family--along with eight others--made the decision not to renew. Over the years at Cross Creek, we've built lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories, but with skyrocketing prices and the campground's steady decline, we were left with no choice. The turning point came when Cross Creek was acquired by Apple Brook. Almost immediately, staffing was reduced, and the amenities that once made it a premier destination were sold off. What was once a AAA-rated resort quickly deteriorated into a glorified state park. The signs of decline were evident: flowerbeds overgrown with weeds, neglected campsites, and unattended weekend lots. Some areas were so overgrown last year with weeds, it was hard to tell where the gravel ended and the grass began. Safety also became a growing concern during the off season as campers weren't vetted and transients sneaked into the park freely to use the restrooms, showers, washers and dryers. The weekend activities that once defined the campground--such as Harry Potter weekends, haunted houses, escape rooms, and top-tier live music--were replaced with rock painting, karaoke, and second rate bands. When I reached out to the front office two years ago to express my concerns and request a conversation with the owner, I was told he had no interest in speaking with us. The message was clear: with a long waitlist, we were replaceable. When I brought up the decline in activities and amenities, I was told that it was up to the annual campers to organize them--an absurd response. If you're considering Apple Brook, know that it is not the Cross Creek of the past. The AAA-rated resort is gone, replaced by a contractor campground with annual rate hikes and diminishing activities. If you're looking for a seasonal or annual spot, be prepared for a large price increase each year with fewer and fewer amenities. Apple Brook has taken its loyal annual and seasonal campers for granted, and as a result, eight families have either left or will leave in just the next few months. My hope with this review is that Apple Brook management sees this and takes action to restore Cross Creek to the incredible destination it once was.

So happy we stumbled upon this little campground. Out of all the campgrounds we visited this summer (including Jellystone in Mt. Gilead), this was the kids favorite. I felt safe letting them ride their bikes and play at the playground. It is close to anything you'd need and about a 25 minute drive to Old Man's Cave. We also had a small issue (which turned into a non-issue) in the beginning with someone else plugged into our 30 amp and the lady at the office couldn't have been nicer and took care of everything right away. Check it out :)

Only issue was someone allowing their dog to poop in front of our cabin and not picking it up - small price to pay for a pet friendly experience, and people will be people.

Last summer, Fiancé and I got placed in sit-in kayaks for the first time. Less than a mile down the river, he complains that he's really uncomfortable, and isn't sure what to do with his feet. Turns out they set him off on a 6-mile trip with NO FOOTRESTS inside the kayak. So Fiancé's excursion ended with a lot of lower back pain. This summer, I went online and reserved an 11-mile trip at 10:00 on a Sunday, three weeks in advance. They called to confirm that I was squared away. Then when I showed up at 9:55, I was told they weren't opening until 11 that morning. When I said I had a 10:00 reservation for the 11-mile trip, they said they hadn't been doing the long trips all week. They didn't have any of my information available, or lost it, so instead of a phone to call give me a heads up, I find this out after driving 35 minutes to the livery. Until they can fix their equipment and have a better booking system in place, I'm done with this company. Our bodies and our time are far too valuable to risk any more mishaps.

The mattress are thin and space is tiny tiny. Overall wouldn't recommend this Jellystone site. You have to pay for an additional car (they only allow one at a site), price of wood is higher than other places and you have to pay to do the swimming obstacle course. False advertisement for pool on the premises. Shower house on a Friday evening was ridiculous. The first door was locked to a shower, second one shower head didn't work, and the 4th was draining improperly, leaving one working shower. Would not recommend at all.

We discovered a great number of bugs crawling under every single mattress in our cabin. We were moved to another cabin and told that we could stay there for the duration of our stay. The next day, as we were enjoying the region, we were told we could no longer stay and we had to move back to the bug cabin. That was not an option as the cabin was not fit for human habitation. So, we drove 3.5 hours back home a day early as we refused to live like animals. The owner promised to refund us ALL of our money due to the major issues with our stay. However, we only received a partial refund because "the partners" decided that we were not worthy of the full refund because we stayed Friday. I guess we should have packed up our stuff and drove through the night back home. Do yourself a favor and do not fall into this trap. This park should be stripped of it's Jellystone name as it does not meet the brand standards and is an embarrassment to the brand.
