If I could rate them higher than 5 stars, I would!! The staff have all been top notch!! They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is having a great time! The RV sites are clean and spacious!
There is so much to do here! From swimming, games, playground, jump pad and gem mining. Not to mention the planned activities the staff puts on! Great walking paths too!
By far this is our new favorite spot! We will DEFINITELY be back!!
My parents used to bring us here when we were kids and have always had great memories, I’ve read a lot of bad reviews but I promise you if your planning on camping don’t trust what other people say come find out for yourself. When we arrived late ( 7 pm) we were greeted by the workers who were kind and did nothing but help us get into the right spot and get settled. The kids loved meeting the bears, take in fact we arrived on a Thursday in the off season when everyone’s back in school , and yogi, his side kick, and his girlfriend all made an appearance. It was quiet all weekend and we did not get bothered by anyone.
We have been bringing our grandchildren here for years. In the past years we have been able to check in an hour early... with no problem, this year I called the day before and asked if we would be able to check in early and she said if the cabin was ready to go but it would be a 10.00 fee per hour if you come early, I was very surprised by that! ( This
was never the case in the past years) I Politely said thank you but no I cannot pay extra, my daughter then called and said she would be willing to pay the extra $10 for us to come early and they gave her the run around... So at this point we just decide we will come and check in at 3:00 check in time. I get to the campground at 2:40 walk in and say I'm here to check in for a cabin and she says okay when she pulls my reservation and recognizes the name and then she says you need to come back in 20 minutes we can't check cabins in early as I was walking out another family was walking in I proceeded to go sit in my car 5 minutes later they called and said oh you can come check in now when I went in the other family that I passed as I was going out was getting their keys to their cabin with no problem but I had to go sit in my car...and wait till 3:00 check in and she was very rude!
I do feel like the inside of the cabin was cleaner than it has ever been in years past... The outside is in shambles, ( I was embarrassed to take pictures of us on the deck) it's missing pieces of the log cabin siding, the deck is rotting, under skirting
is falling off , and worse of all the sliding door was so hard to open and close ( we remember this from last year) within hours of checking in the metal frame holding the glass in pulled away from the glass itself! We had to call after hours and maintenance came in a timely manner, he tried fixing the frame and ended up shattering the glass patio door! He taped it up and put cardboard over the shattered glass and we went rest of the weekend waiting for the glass to fall in.... we had our 6 grandchildren with us...I felt like it was an unsafe situation with children...no one ever called or came by to see how the shattered glass was holding up ... for the money they are charging for these cabins $$$ they need to be better maintained...I can't recommend renting the cabins at all!! The grounds itself are nice and do see some improvements there. kids enjoyed the activities! I really can't say that we will be returning next year!
Really fun place. Employees were nice and accommodating. Big pool with good hours. Fun activities for kids and good playground and game room. We assumed there would be more food available to purchase at the shop for some quick meals, so plan better than we did, but town wasn't too far away to pick up supplies.
Brought grand kids for the Halloween creek end. This was second year . Grand kids had a blast. We were year last year stayed in rustic cabins, ask the grand kids about going again (this year) they said yes but we need abath room. So we rented the deluxe cabin. At the end of the week end we ask about reserving for next year, was told by office the deluxe cabins may be eliminated. Is this true. I brought my kids here 20 years ago for the Halloween weekends and started to do this again.
