Just turn around and go elsewhere. Better yet, just steer clear. The owners are seriously crazy or on some type of drugs. No, I am not kidding. They scream, yes, scream at the kids AND the adults for non issues. Ray ( the owner) has screamed in my face to shut up while he put his finger in my face, when I started, ( never got to finish) explaining that I merely had to get to the bank to pay the lot rent. Then immediately left and turned OFF the power to my site because I was TWO days late on my payment. TWO DAYS. ( because I could not get to the bank). "Mama Doe" was sitting right there in the golf cart and went right along with the whole incident. We had to call the police to get them to STOP harassing us as well as another tenant that I was a witness to. I have NEVER EVER seen more childish, angry and controlling behavior in my entire life. It almost boggles the mind. How they are still in business, I will never know. I have never experienced this before and I am torn between shock and befuddlement. They have a "manager" that has NO idea what he is doing and does nothing for anyone here.
It is damp and humid ALL the time. The canopy is so thick, no sun gets through on most sites. We used the hook ups for a camper staying on a month to month basis for the season. We had never been to this area before and expected the basics that all campgrounds provide. There is NOTHING for children to do here. NADA. No store, no laundry facilities, no propane, charcoal, nothing. Dirty restrooms and gross shower area's. When they did attempt a cleaning, the bleach was SO STRONG, it burnt your nose and we had to leave and wait for it to air out before using. Even then, only the toilets were touched. Outdated "restaurant" if you want to chance it. I wouldn't. Beautiful trees, yes, but so many that no sun hits your lot unless you choose one of the very few tent sites that have sun. We were surprised to find ( at the other entrance we did not come in) a filthy pond by the road. Years of neglect by the sign that advertises great food. Complete with duct tape over the holes in the gas lines that are all over the land. Add to that NO RV PLUGS anywhere in the campground. When I mentioned this to them, they looked at me and said: " Do you REALIZE how much that would cost to do that? Why would we even want to do that?" I don't know, because you are a CAMPGROUND? Only GFI's. You either bring your own adapter or have to go to town to get one. The owner's Daughter kept yelling at the children for PLAYING and kept harassing the children no matter what they did. She walks around the property filming people and taking pictures of you...??? I had to tell her multiple times to leave the children alone. She drives through on the golf cart half drunk. After the owner took our money, he has been rude and short with us and we cannot understand why. We stayed to ourselves and have been quiet. We are uncomfortable here and are moving OUT ASAP and are very happy to leave and not ever come back. Very dirty and out of date. On that same weekend that we arrived, 2 separate cabins were rented individually and they left within the hour citing the cabins were dirty and smelled musky. We know this because we heard it all. It is the armpit of Cook's Forest. Just run the other way and chose ANY other place other than this.
TO ADD: 9/17/2018 - Ray, the owner was just here at my trailer stating he read my review and he was furious about it. He threatened me with hooking onto my home and removing it himself and how I was not being "Christian". All while yelling. Man, I can 't wait to move outta here. read more
