We arrived Thursday 8/15/2013 afternoon, and the first thing we noticed was awful smell, and that our campsite was on a pretty significant slope. It was also dirty(trash, rotten banana peel, burned firewood pieces around fire ring, old pair of shoes). Then we noticed the no swimming signs everywhere. Who goes to lake and can't swim? We asked on the phone, and checked the website, and all it said was no swimming in the boat launch area, and moorage area, nothing about no swimming at the entire campsite. After speaking(basically arguing) with Spencer Grigg, all he would do is offer to refund 2 of our nights, but we would be stuck with the 3rd and the cancellation fees. He was sarcastic and argumentative, and only wanted to put the blame on us, for not reading the rules. His response was that he'd been there for 23 years, and it's never been a problem. Well Spencer, you should read the other reviews on the internet, because clearly, we're not the only ones! He also said they would be updating their website, to make it more clear that there is no swimming anywhere. If you need to update your website, then it's obviously not properly informing people on the rules. It's misleading, and incomplete of all the information you would need to make an informed decision! If the rules had said no swimming at the docks, or anywhere in the campsite, we would not have drove the 3 hours to stay there! Bottom line, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME, OR MONEY WITH CASCADE CAMPGROUNDS! There are plenty of other campsites with swimming, fishing, and clean sites, that you can go have fun at. We ended up staying at Thousand Trails in Crescent Bar, and had a great time! read more
