Has potential. Unfortunately the campground hosts were the ones to hurt the experience. One of them kept driving around at night trying to start trouble with us! He was obviously drunk, saying how he ran this place! He drove through as late as midnight on the loud John Deere UTV. Other personnel were just sleeping on the job. Meanwhile the place was covered in trash and the bathrooms were in quite disrepair. We picked up at least 50 pieces of trash at the playground alone. Great location on the lake but trashy guests and employees. Quite a shame.
The owner I’m guessing was VERY VERY RUDE. it’s very unfortunate because we did not get to see the park due to his behavior. First of all he yelled at us to stop the car ... Like a full blown scream (STOPPPP) , me and my girlfriend were terrified, I rolled down the window and apologized because I missed the booth, not really aware that there was a pay stop because it’s a park? First time going , was unsure . Plus it was 6pm at night . The man came to the window and asked why we were there …. to go to the park? Then he said it was private … ok , wasn’t aware of that fact either? Then he said we had to pay wasn’t a problem but due to his anger and terrible attitude we decided to leave. Very unwelcoming and will not return. Not sure if he was having a bad day or if that is his personality but maybe he should check himself before he encounters the wrong individual. Just saying.
Nice quiet spot to get out on the lake. Took the kayak out and got a few small ones.
