We went to warieka Sunday night and went to pick out a spot and my wife went to go pay. The lady wasn't in the office she sat there about fifteen minutes and then drove thru... this camp host was out harassing campers. She then stopped where were at camp site 168. This host had the gall to curse me Infront of my kids. She told me that she picks our camp sites not us. She said I am to wait at the station house till she gets there. She was very disrespectful and disgusting. Even after that mess we didn't say anything and even went and sat at the station house and waited an additional 35 minutes. She then came into the station house and cussed me and the other campers about not reading the sign that said campers must sign in. I am disgusted with the service of this host. My family and I will never be back.
Great park and great people. Camp sites are super spacious, nice and quite, the geese flocks were great. Checked the restrooms and definitely are not the cleanest we have seen 😬 We stayed near the beach and there was a good bit of daily visitors, many of which were inconsiderate, leaving trash all over even when the dumpster is right on the other side of the road from them. We still enjoyed our stay and the hosts were always pleasant. Loved the space to spread out and enjoy some lake floating. Verizon and AT&T service worked well for us.
We went slightly off season. It was so worth it the water was warm and perfect even for the small children. The lake was almost held by us alone. Close to the restrooms, the beach, and we even had a table with a grill. It was great.
