They have lots of great activities including a rubber duck race where the donate 1/2 of the money raised to the local food shelf. Everything was going great until yesterday(Sunday) when I decided to walk around the campground to check out more of the area. I was on the road at the far end of the campground when a campers 4 dogs spotted me and started running and barking aggressively. I stopped to try and give the owners a chance to call them off as well as hopefully deescalate the situation. That is when the German Shepherd came around the back of me and bit my bum. I said ouch. The owner finally got the dogs attention and put him in their camper. I left and went back to my camp site. I saw the skin was broken and soon I had a large bruise. I called the office and asked if the campground owners could please stop by my site as I wanted them aware of what happened. 2 hours later still no contact from them. I then went up to the bar and restaurant and located Merle and Laura. I told the what transpired and only had one request which was to please find out if the dog is up to date on vaccines. They said they would. That was 6 pm last night. I left the campground at 10 am this morning and still have not been contacted. Dogs off leash when so many children are around is an issue. If the campers next to me had encountered this dog with their 1 and 3 year olds I do not think it would have been I so minor. Again loved the campground and activities but disappointed that this issue was not followed up on. Worst part is the dogs belong to a long time seasonal camper at the facility so I'm afraid it won't be addressed.

We even turned it down to the lowest setting but still didn't help. It was great they had a pool and splash pad but they didn't open until 10 and while the sign said closed at 8, the online policy you sign said it closed at dusk. We went just after 8 and were told it was closed. We pointed out the policy and was told they had to update the website. It was disappointing and not a great impression. The camping spaces are very close together and for the price to stay in the wagon ($175/night) you have to bring basically everything to cook and stay. Overall it's fine for a little getaway and we live close but I probably won't come back.

There's an overall mindset amongst seasonals to 'keep up with the Jones' with respect to yard appearance, RV's, trailers, etc. I was a seasonal for three years, and ultimately the last straw was when it was suggested to me that I don't return the next season unless I upgraded my 28 foot travel trailer to something newer, because it didn't fit the look and feel of the place (apparently something older than 7 years wasn't good enough?). Also, management is very good at one thing: watching everyone like a hawk. If you want to always feel like you're every move is being scrutinized, this is the place for you!

This place is the worst campground I've ever had the misfortune of paying for. They kicked me out…read moreafter I paid half down for the 26 season. That's right, then they refused to give me back my money. I lost $750 to these..........people. This was due to my 2 puppies that never barked. This family campground is just that. There's 15 family members that reside behind no trespassing signs on property. It was advertised as dog friendly which is a fib. Dogs must be on leash eternally. Plus there's 0 exercise area. Now that's real dog friendly. I tried to remedy that problem by offering to put in a fenced area for dogs for FREE, since if I was going to stay there for summer it was necessary for my 2 single year old high energy pups. At first this was fine by Jenny the girl who wears the pants and owns this setup But after driving to Belle plains, mn to get 100 ft of chain link fence off marketplace she changed her mind. I'm also out $120 for fence now on top of the $750. After a slightly heated discussion she gave me 24 hours to get out or cops get called I left within a few hours but never got a refund. She tells me to sue her! That's in the works. I'm 71 yrs old and live on SS exclusively so I desperately need that money but she could care less. She did offer to give me back a part of it but prorated it at weekly rate. A weekly rate was dramatically different than seasonal so I refused it. I also very kindly offered to leave no reviews anywhere if shed refund my money but she said I was attempting to extort her. Not at all, I was merely offering us both an easier way out of this nightmare. I never cost these folks one dime since my motorhome is entirely run on solar so no electricity was used and I never even deposited any trash there during my 1 week stay. She has been successful in getting my 2 previous reviews taken down from this platform so she must be regretting something. I'm only writing true facts that I lived through in this place. I've never in my entire life been treated like this and do not like it. Does this sound like the kind of place you want to stay?
