First of all, let me say that we lived our experience at Laughing Waters. It is a BEAUTIFUL space…read morewith ample room and stunning views. My issues were with communication and their lack of transparency. We made our reservation online and when we got our confirmation email, there was no check in or check out time. It is also not available on their website. When we called, we got a voicemail for the Hot Springs high school & laughing waters campground. Weird. But okay. Left a voicemail, never got a call back. There are also no check in instructions. So we arrived at 3:45 on the day of check in. No station, no instructions, nothing. So we call again and a woman answers and is slightly annoyed that we are calling. Informs us that it is self check in (whatever that means) and I s not until 4 pm because they all work. But since we are there we can go ahead and set up camp. Campers should be aware that while their photos depict largely wooded areas, they are not. The campsites are set up in a field on the edge of the river. So you do have trees, but they are largely at the edge of the river. A few campsites had more trees, but ours was in the field (blue heron site). This is fine, but the photos make it seem like you're in the woods. And I'm the summer, I would imagine that the direct sun is brutal. They advertise eco toilets - it's a porta-John. Literally nothing more. Also advertised a first aid station which we did not see, did not find signs for, nor was it in the confirmation email. We didn't need it. But if we had, who knows. A map of the property would have been nice. All in all. I would definitely recommend Laughing Waters. But I think they should be more transparent about what their property and procedure looks like.

What is wrong is the care and love in maintaining the campground is non existent. Sent here on a recommendation from someone who had been here years ago. The bathhouse was disgusting has not been cleaned in years, there are several permanent campers in premium spots who's campers have tarps, duct tape and permanently installed window air conditioners. It would take so little to spruce it up with a fire pit, chairs along river and maybe even rake, sweep and maintain sites???

What I did not appreciate was the angry response I received when I contacted them to inquire why my reservation was canceled with very little notice. Understandably this was an uncontrollable event. A simple explanation would have been helpful so I could scramble to find a new place. I am posting this in hopes the property has recovered and the man I spoke with would also understand the difficulties that we faced to secure a new place with no notice. I was polite to him. He was not polite to me.

They have gorgeous spots right on the river and I could hear the river as I slept and it was so soothing!! The owners are wonderful people and really want campers to enjoy every aspect of their stay. They came out when we came in to help us back camper in our spot. It's very close to town like 5 min drive but felt out in country. Our spot had a picnic table and fire pit. They have a pretty good size bath house with vending machines and at as use washers and dryers which would be good for long stays! Shower stalls were individual bathrooms for privacy .. updated and very clean. We came before Halloween and it had decor for the holiday.. you could stay in camper, they had cabins, and tepees for unique stay. Most were damaged by storm but will be ready for following year. I thought that was really interesting.. i read reviews from previous years about wifi being terrible but we didn't have that issue. We didn't really spend all day at campground we came to see and spend time in the area so we were only using wifi at night and in morning with coffee. I would highly recommend this campground.. it was a great stay and I hated to leave.

The Govenor was asking everyone to stay away. We were told that the house was standing so there was no refund. Even if all the roads were closed! After many nasty phone conversations, we were rescheduled to a different part of the state. Then we reserved a house in the same area. 2 months before we arrived, we noted that the description mentioned 6 beds but the pics only showed 5 beds. We were told that the description was right and pics were wrong. Doesn't make sense! When we arrived and noted the problem and contacted the company.....3 days ( and daily queres) before we got the response of "oops". Also asked for sheets for the futon on day one. When we left on day 7, no sheets and no response. Horrible. Horrible! I wish I could give them minus 5.
