I've stayed in this campground for several years and always given them a 5 star rating. This year was very different. We stayed for a week and a day as this was my fall pilgrimage to trout fish in Bennett Springs.
Our downhill slide started upon arrival. We were met by the campground managers after calling their number posted on the door. They came over fairly quickly and we asked about sites as my son in law and I had reservations for the week. We were told that only two sites were available next to the restroom and showers. We asked about the newer sites by the lake that we had stayed in several years. We were told that they were rented. Okay, let's see how this works.
The problems started when my wife saw some cloth masks for sale with a $1.50 sign on them. She picked one out and when she went to pay the lady told her "Oh no! I made them and they are $ 3.00. Not wanting to fuss but thinking it very odd she paid the $3.
The sites we were given were on a steep slope and were very narrow. To get my slides out I had to move the picnic table and park further down hill. This put my door in the firepit. We barely got our slide open. My son in law fared the same on his site with little to no room for his slides.
We were also told no internet service! What! We had it for service. previous years!
The ground had been dug up some time ago and there were holes and uneven land so we couldn't walk around our site without danger of tripping. I have pictures if anyone is interested in seeing the sad state of these sites. This problem could have been easily fixed, but the gentlemen who was co-manager only showed up in the park when he was guiding a new camper to a site. IMHO, this is very poor attendance to business.
BTW, to top it all off... A couple of sites by the lake were never rented! Also, there were also many good level sites available the whole time we were there. Basically, the camp manager who took our reservation lied to us and stuck us in those "under construction" small, steep sites!
The price we paid was way too much for the poor service and crappy sites we had! read more
