While I still wish I could walk down to the river from the cabins, it's really the only negative for me. The cabin sleep 2 in a private room, plus 5 more in the main room (one twin and 2 bunk bed sets). The main room also has a big table in the middle of the room with chairs that came in very handle when it started raining at dinnertime. Our friends in the cabin next door came over and we all ate inside. The kitchen was nice too. Nothing special, but it did allow us to finish up some food in the oven and have a crockpot going all day while we were on the river. And it gave us a small fridge. I also like that the cabins are really spread out. There is a big field with the cabins lining it in a huge circle, so you only have cabins to your sides and that's it. It really was a great setup to have 2 cabins that sleep 7 next to each other for a big group.

Just weat tight and light clothing and do a tick check in the evenings. Spray your clothes, socks, shoes and everywhere. You and the kids will be fine. Bring old towels to use at the river. Bring paper towels and dish towels, cooking oil and seasoning. Paper plates if you want to cut dish washing time. The kitchens have just the basics, I brought an instant pot and a portable gas grill. Or bring charcoal, lighter fluid and a lighter. They provide plenty of bedding and bath towels and hand soap but bring body soap and shampoo. The cabins are great but you will be in a state park so don't expect a five star hotel. The beds are not the most comfortable but way better than the ground. The cabin was the best state park cabin we have stayed in. It was clean and a great place for a family reunion. We rented the 4 bedroom cabin. There were 12 of us ranging in age from 6 months to 67 years old. We enjoyed hiking, biking, river playing, creek stomping, caves, smores in the fire pitand an all arou.d great week. Go play, have fun and be full of joy and awe at God's creation!!!

The head guy that thinks he owns the…read moreplace flies around in his pink golf cart pastel colored shorts and tank top, and using terrible language at the top of his lungs. The guys the spotted my camper were real nice. Hookups worked at our site. No life guards at the pool, ergo no rules being enforced. There are security cameras at the gate and the Lodge... and yes even at the pool so apparently no one is watching them. There is a teen center/grill which we were excited about but it never did open the whole time we were there. The miniature golf course is not very usable due to disrepair and neglect. As you might expect, the prices at the store inside the Lodge is $$$. The Lodge itself is nice but it has gambling machines (a lot). Due to the lack of supervision this could be less than ideal for kids if given money by the parents. It's not like they check your ID to play. The people that work here are mostly crabby, except the spotting guys. It does have a laundry area that's about as basic as you can get. Some machines out of order. There are lots and lots of golf carts which makes it very loud and dusty. Apparently there is no speed rule enforced because people go way faster than the 10 mph posted including the head guy. Fire pits are mostly adequate and it seemed that most spots had picnic tables. Not very nice ones, but they did have them. There's also an "Adult center" with a pool table, dart machine and I think a jukebox. Nobody in there and kind a dirty. M/W bathrooms as well. Hope this helps fellow campers!

When we arrived at check-in, it was super easy to get checked in and everyone was very kind. They have a store with some small items if you forgot anything. The owners live on site and they let me and my kids go visit their puppies and play in the puppies area/run house. They are very kind and spoke to us often throughout. They even offered to go to the store to pick AA batteries for us and a couple other things instead of us going to the store and purchasing it from them directly that was very kind and going above. The only reason for the four star is, I did call them to get additional towels for the cottage house we rented. Whoever answered the phone had hesitation in their voice, and seemed annoyed that I was asking for extra towels. They asked how many people were in our party because they saw a lot of people.kitchen told them yes we rented the cottage house +3 primitive cabins we had a large party, but we were not over using any space. He thought hesitation in his voice and I explained to him we only had two towels and he was more than welcome to come check if he doubted us he said oh that's strangely usually put four or five in the house I said well, they didn't then they offered to bring more as much as we all spent for the entire weekend. It was a little frustrating how we were treated in that specific scenario. They had paddle boats you could rent and we rented two. It was a decently priced 35 for four hours. They also have horseback riding and a couple other things that you can pay additional for. The cottage was fully stocked. The primitive cabins you do have to bring your own linens, which is clearly stated

We were there when the dome of the pool was ripped off by a…read moretornado and when the entire lodge burnt down because a teenager working there threw ice into the fryer. We were there when the new pools were put in and were supposed to be heated. We had rented many condos for events and birthday parties. Here are the facts several of the locations need updated especially the condos which I hear now are all under construction. We tolerated the bad because it was private and the fireworks display every year was awesome! Then my parents died.... That is where the nightmare began. My brother and I were listed to inherit the deed upon their death the primary amount for the ownership had been paid off for many years. There were just outrageous fees they wanted to charge my brother and I to take over what was already deeded to us in the paper work. The amount they wanted was almost the same cost of a membership. We fought and was able to just cancel the contract without paying for anything but all the money my parents paid into this scam was lost. I have also read a bunch of the responses from the business manager and most of them are snide sarcastic remarks tenement to used car sales. Most saying we cannot please everyone and discounting most of the reviews on here. So again read what the BBB has to say and head the warning. The below is what the Better Business Bureau States about LVL Lost Valley Lake Resort This business is NOT BBB Accredited. Find BBB Accredited Businesses in Resort. Current Alerts For This Business Pattern of Complaint: Better Business Bureau is advising consumers to use caution when considering doing business with Lost Valley Lake Resort. BBB has received a pattern of consumer complaints alleging changes to contracts without owner approval, increases in maintenance fees, promise made for improvements of the facility are not honored, failure to issue refunds, consumers/owners are unable to cancel their ownership and overall poor customer service. The company responded stating, "We do believe there is a misconception that Lost Valley Lake is similar to a timeshare. Lost Valley Lake is not a timeshare, but an Undivided Interest (UDI) deed. Annual membership dues were increased for maintenance reasons for the property. We are attentive to the needs of the elderly who own at Lost Valley Lake and grant exceptions for extreme hardships. An owner's death is not the same process as a timeshare, there are estate matters which must be attended to by the Executor and or children. All owners have access to the property 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. There is a cost to transfer a deed which has increased to $1500. The transfer process is similar to a closing on a home. The Board of Directors provides oversight of operations at Lost Valley Lake."

The campground had maybe 3-4 campers, it was desolate. Our spot was right next to the dumping station and we thought we'd try to call the number and see if we could move a few spots over. After waiting on a hold loop for 5 minutes, we gave up. We set up in our assigned spot. The bathrooms appeared clean but showers were outdated. The site was quiet. When we woke up we discovered little ants all over the outside and inside of our camper. They were crawling up our doorway into the camper. We killed as many as possible and packed up as quickly as possible. We didn't have any open food in the camper, it was packed in containers in our truck. Again - I wish we were not next to the dumping station. I'm hoping our next stop we don't open up to a ton of ants. Those little ants are big pests and hard to get rid of and not pleasant in a tent. This campground is not owned by KOA anymore - Kiefer Campgrounds are now the owners.
