We are Thousand Trails members and haven't had terrible experiences, but this is a campground we probably won't choose to come back to unless there's no other option.
The campground itself is nice, lots of open space, places to walk, a lake and trees. We arrived and chose a spot in Phase 2. The spot was so unlevel that I thought I was going to roll out of bed. We did end up moving, but the space we are on is kind of tight. It didn't have a well placed campfire spot either, it was literally on the edge of the next RV spot and we were afraid that we would have to keep rebuilding it anytime the neighbor needed to leave so we ended up building one closer to our site.
It's a little hard to see which sites have full hookups and which ones don't. They are color coded on the hookups. Orange have sewer, white do not.
Now on to the main reasons we don't like it here:
First, while they do have a Trading Post store and ranger station, it's so far from the campsites in Phase 2 that if you don't have a tow car, you would be walking over a mile to get there. The hills just driving to the campsites are very steep that if you have a old RV, like ours, you may be in for a anxious ride to the top.
Second, the wifi is awful, I mean really awful. This isn't a huge concern normally, but we are bloggers and I'm a student and this made it impossible to get any work done. We couldn't even make phone calls most of the time.
Thirdly, we always call campgrounds prior to staying to make sure we can receive packages. We don't have a tow car and our RV is too big to drive to stores and stuff all the time so when we called this campground, they said we can receive packages and they bring them to our site. Since we order groceries online, this was something we needed. The first time we got a package, they brought it. The next time and everytime after that, they didn't and won't. We called and asked them, it was a very rainy day and they said they couldn't. We asked a neighbor to bring us to the station and store only to find out they changed their mind and decided to bring us our packages. We also expected to see a store with camping staples like hot dogs, marshmallows and the like, but the store basically had soda and beer. The workers were eating burgers when we arrived and didn't even get up to help us. They didn't seem too concerned to answer questions.
The bathrooms are clean, but the shower heads are super low on the wall. I could fit just barely and my 6 foot one husband had to literally duck to fit underneath.
In conclusion, if you want a campground that offers clean bathrooms, a nice view and lots of walking, then this place is perfect, but that's about all the perks it has. read more
