The place seemed like a good place to spend the weekend, after all the reviews I read. The camp ground must be under new management. The camp host meet us at camp right when we showed up and not in a good way. Very pushy and told us she just wanted to get the paperwork done. Not a warm greeting at all. We never received a copy of camp information like most places give you. The next morning the kids went to the play area. We were approached by the host again tell us the kids were too loud. We told the kids to quit down respectful. We had another visit from the host blaming out kids for dislodging a log from the horseshoe pit. We went over and assessed the damage and noticed it wasn't even attached with screws or anything. So we fixed it and that's was the end of that.well not quite.. again was told there was some dirt or sand on the slide that the kids out there and she made several rude comments to us and our children. Later that night we were having marshmallow around the fire and talking amongst us. And Gary the manager came to our site and was told there was a noise complaint . He said himself he didn't see a problem and left. We were asked to leave the next day. We left and went to the camp ground across the street called American Eagle Rv Park. This place was great Chuck greeted us and gave a copy of the rules and told us all about the park. It has full bathrooms, laundromat, kids rec center, full hook ups. And the spots were clean and shaded. Don't waist your time with Eagle Lake Resort the best place to camp is literally across the street. Happy Campers!
If you're looking for family fun with your kids and dogs, this is NOT the place. They are poorly managed and seem to cater to the senior community. No rules were given/posted, etc. People drive through at high speeds and when we made the camp host aware, she was very rude and unprofessional. She, herself, drives way to fast through the campgrounds. They complained about our kids playing at the park. After extending our stay, we were informed we needed to leave. Fortunately, the American Eagle RV Park (right across the street) was very professional and accommodating.
The camping host and other camping families were terrific, there were good hook ups and a nice grassy area for the littles to play. The spaces are not too crowded and their wifi and satellite reception is superb.
There is not much here otherwise. The lake is no longer close by or even near the beach. There are no local conveniences but there are trails to walk and plenty of dirt for your dogs to play. Beware of the burrs...
We stayed in a site with a lake view in the distance and it has been safe and quiet. A brand new bathroom was recently installed which is spotless but a heads up there is just one toilet and shower (so far). It looks like improvements are going on throughout the park so that may change shortly.
Even with the low water levels, we came away wondering why this park didn’t have more of the advertised amenities. Literally, decent fishing was 21 miles away.
Love this place! We have gone three times now and it is great. Gary and Vicki are so kind and helpful.
Wow!! What a little gem of an rv park! Fantastic location right near the lake-front and a lovely warm welcome from our hosts. We have stayed at multiple rv parks as we travel from Iowa to Seattle and this is by far the shining star. Our hosts kindly allowed is to stay, despite not opening for another week. They also showed us around the park and through one of the gorgeous cottages on site (yes they can be booked too !!) Booking online was an absolute breeze and we got to select a site from photos (a VERY Nice change). This was also the first park to allow us to pay via paypal rather than submitting our credit card details, a MAJOR plus.If we hadn't been on a tight timeline we would have asked to stay longer and made use of the free water activities!!
Thanks so much
