We measure the mattress the last day- it's a FULL, not a QUEEN as advertised. I email them after to tell them I'm upset- never hear a word back. Now we were asked to meet family there again this summer and hoping they updated their beds to the size they claim so I email to ask- they email me back to say the beds are same and they are "industry size". They are FULLS and we have video and pics to prove it. I have been manipulated and should have demanded atleast a partial refund after our visit (having read up on the law and what it means them lying about size of beds). The beds in the cabins aren't queens like advertised. Beware! And contact me if you noticed this too.

There are so many activities for both children and adults. We ziplined, did the challenge course, danced the night away, played parachute games, rented a golf cart and bikes.

All of the other campers were so friendly. Super safe and gorgeous place.

Staff was very pleasant with activities for the kids. From the moment we pulled in, we were impressed. Great service, walking us through the check in and checkout and taking us to our site. Fellow campers were mostly respectful. We didn't have a problem with noise or trash. 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. Wide variety of campers, and was great to see them, their rigs, and share the experience.

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!

We camped here for Memorial Day weekend and had a great time! After another friend recommended this…read morecampground we decided to book a stay. They have all different type of site options from full hookup with concrete pads to electric only grassy sites to camp sites with horse friendly tie areas. I would guess there are over 500 sites here. Plus they have very nice cabins to rent. There is a marina for those that want to dock seasonally and a boat ramp for those that just want to put their boat in for the day. No extra cost if camping for the weekend. You can also kayak or rent kayaks and pontoons from the marina part. The welcome center has a naturalist area with educational animals and other interactive exhibits where kids can see and ask questions. During summer months they also have all kinds of activities for families from naturalist led hikes, movie nights, and educational programs. The beach area is a good size for everyone to play. You can pay extra to go on the wibits- water course. They have food vendors and bathrooms close by. Most of the facilities like shower houses and playgrounds are newer and well maintained. Since it is such a large campground I highly recommend bringing bikes or a golf cart (you will want to call ahead to make sure yours is inspected for operation in the park). Also lots of ranger patrols for safety but still freedom to enjoy your weekend.

And there is an admission charge if you can believe it... The chalet on the hill has a small store in it but since it's on state land there are no potent potables so again...Plan accordingly...Pack everything you want BEFORE you head out because there isn't much in that neck of the woods either...There is a Marathon that does have needs but not a great selection so...Plan accordingly... There is a beach that consists of "sand" that is what is washed up from the bottom and is pretty much just gravel mixed with dirt... Thankfully all we did at the beach was stage it for a gathering point off the boat.... I'd go back cause the lake is plenty big and not overly crowded...So long as we had no reason to get off the boat... But be careful....There is water patrol so use your head here folks....

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.

I'm sure in spring you could canoe or kayak. The campground also has its own access to the bike trail that goes from butler to Mansfield. Beautiful and scenic on a fall day. The campers were also very friendly. Spaces are a good size and many have mature trees for shade. Did not use restroom and shower house but it looked. Clean. Definitely a good choice if looking for a no frills campground in the area and want a peaceful and relaxing stay.

They have simplified the entrance/exit making it easier to come and go. The pool was in great shape this time. But the splash pad is not turned on yet. I did see where they added new jump pads, one normal size and one huge! This is right next to a new zip line and the kids seem to love both. I decided to splurge on one of their deluxe patio sites since this was my birthday/Father's day present. We got a very nice site back in the BOONDOCKS area which is a nice secluded area not too far from everything else. It does have a nice shower that is ADA compliant, but my only suggestion would be to put a handicap sign up so more abled people can use the others first. Since I was splurging this week, we did take advantage of firewood and ice delivery and they were quick and courteous. I did have an opportunity to reach out for help with their management when an unexpected storm came through. We have a pop up that once you setup and put out the awning, its difficult to get down in a hurry. I used their text number and requested a small step ladder to help me get the awning down and they quickly responded. That was a big help. All in all it was a great stay. My only real issue is with reserving a deluxe patio site, some have propane grills and others have charcoal grills and I don't think you know till you get there, so we had to run our for charcoal.

The wagon ride was cancelled on Saturday with out a notice. We walked on the trail with the kids but it smelled terrible like sewage and there are no trail markers so we had to back track a few times. One trail took us to a house. The sun catcher paint event was not well put together. They were gone in 1 minute and not enough paint for everyone. Walked to feed the animals and didn't realize it cost a quarter to feed. Absolutely no cash on us. And we lost a headlamp we bought in the store, went to buy another the morning we left and told we were not allowed in the store and it was closed for an emergency. For the amount of money we paid just expected a little more being the holiday weekend. Don't see us coming back.
