My family and I stayed here for a couple of months this summer. The new management is making some…read moregreat changes, amazing updates & additional amenities that have turned this place into a family friendly rv park. However, one of the best things about this park is there front desk employee Ashley. She went above & beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and had everything we needed. This place is full of seasonal weekenders but she made us feel like part of the community. The most amazing thing was how she handled herself and remained professional while she was the lone person checking in everyone the first day the campground opened, which we happened to arrive that day. We will definitely come back to stay. One recommendation I have is that they offer weekly rates too, not just daily, monthly, and seasonal. I understand this creates some additional logistics but I belive you'll also get more visitors. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area or just passing through.

Our family went here for a relaxing weekend and that was absolutely not what we got. Firstly, our…read morecampsite was marked as a full hookup but the dump tank hookup was so destroyed we could not use it. We still got charged for a full hookup up site. We called for a refund because we could not use the site as it was being advertised and were ignored. Later in the day, the sewer hookup for the site next to us began OVERFLOWING with raw sewage/whatever was coming out of the sewer hookup. We called the camp site multiple times but there was no fix being made. This is a public safety hazard, and there was a creek about 30 feet away, meaning that this camp area was draining sewer matter into the surrounding area's water. This weekend was not great for the resort, it rained so hard later on that the creek completely overflowed. I will give this group a compliment on the fact that they did handle the situation the best that they could. The activities and the pool were nice. But, none of this excuses the fact that there was sewage material flooding out of the ground onto our campsite. We ended up leaving a day early because we couldn't handle it. We have an elderly dog and we were extremely fearful that she was going to contract something from walking around our own site because of the waste flooding out of the ground. Everyone can make their own decisions on whether they visit this campsite but make sure to keep this in mind.

Also look at his hand he will yell in your face if you have any kind of drink in the pool yet he will brake all the rules himself I have videos of him telling me he is going to pull my camper out himself and leave it outside the campground had to make a report for it and cops told him to not touch my stuff or he will be arrested do yourself a favor and go somewhere else lots of other good campgrounds around that are nice

Note: this is a seasonal campground not a nightly or weekly campground…read more We were evicted from our seasonal (4/15-10/15) on Mallard Bend RV resort by the Property Manager. We've not only lost power for long periods of time that resulted in a $300 generator fuel expense on our part, but can not get a true electric bill or meter reading report upon request. We have requested a meter reading report after being "told" our latest bill equaled the previous month bill (yet we were off property for 3 weeks with our motor home ). I refused to pay the bill until I had documentation. We learned meter readings are not done the first day of the month, but whenever he got around to do it. My husband was informed if I call the owners we would be evicted. We received a notification an hour after the threat was made even though NO phone call was made (I guess I was hopeful that the manager would be forthright with dates, meter readings and bills). I was willing to pay what we owe upon documentation. The day after I got the written eviction notice, I called the phone number and got an automated service that gave 4 options. 1) make reservations 2)speak to property manager 3) directory by name. I tried 3 different names being told each was invalid. I did leave a voicemail, option 4, but no return call was made to us. As I researched our rights, we have none on a campground. The campground can evict on any reason they choose. So we are leaving because I wanted documentation of electric usage! Friends, this is NOT how you run a business or campground. A grounds/maintenance person is not an administrator. What owner doesn't Audit the books and employees? I don't think a hands off approach by owners is good business. PERIOD.

We decided on a deluxe site with a concrete patio, a fire pit and a picnic table and it was $70 per night. They use camp spot so you will pay an additional five dollar fee for that registration. Others have mentioned they are pretty strict that if you arrive early will be charged $15 since they need to recover electric and water charges. They did not charge us this for our early arrival, so maybe somebody was having a good day. There is a camp store that looks like they have quite a few snack options when we arrived they were serving barbecue sandwiches from 1 to 5 as well as a bingo game. They also let us know for Father's Day weekend. They would have live music by the water feature from 6 to 8 and the band is actually pretty good tonight! The fire pit on our side is in a weird location and is kind of closer to our neighbors than us so we probably won't be using that There is a fantastic pool here as well as a bounce house and kids have been enjoying it all day We love that the sites are nice and wide so you are not directly on top of your neighbor, although if I had the option, I would probably ask for a site in the back farthest part of the park away from all the noise I would highly recommend one of the spots with a concrete pad as when it rains here it gets pretty muddy. We had a big storm last night and I am very happy we paid extra for the concrete.

I was so frustrated and ready to give up. Then I called Blue Oval Rentals, my call was answered by a very professional and cordial employee. I did not have to listen to recordings, go through prompts and enter a bunch of information just to get quotes. The process was quick and delightful. I have recommended Blue Oval Rentals to family and friends and I will continue to use them myself.

From my call until we were driving away, it was 30 minutes. They brought the car to Bob's Advanced in 15 minutes and took car of my two daughters and I on one of the hotter days of the summer when our own car overheated. Our car repairs took a couple of days, so when we went back to our home in Chicago, Blue Oval was in regular contact with Bob's Advanced and had an update on our car as we were trying to plan for how long we needed the rental. When we were coming back from Chicago, there was a slight delay in our car repairs, and we needed to switch out rental vehicles for one more day (because our original vehicle was already reserved for another party), so Blue Oval seamlessly got us into another vehicle for the last day. Their level of customer service was top notch, and I wouldn't hesitate to rent from them again. They are the epitome of small town customer service and a great business with a variety of rental vehicles.
