This is a really nice Calais. They are not stuffy or real restrictive. There was two family reunions going on at the same time and it was great. When it came quiet time, it was perfect. The shower water was hot. The place was clean very reasonable pricing what more can you ask for?
The covered wagon was great! We also appreciated the call from the office with after-hours check in instructions, plus leaving the light and space heater on for us. Definitely a pleasant stay, we wouldn't hesitate to book here again.
This review is based on the average of our last two stays - one last week and the other the week before. For both stays (as well as all of our previous stays), the staff were all friendly, helpful and professional. We love the location and the grounds and have stayed here more than a half-dozen times.
The first stay was phenomenal. We stayed in camping cabin #5. It was clean and in good repair with a great porch swing as well as a screen door so we could get good airflow. The cabin faces west, so there is a great sunset view as well as good airflow. It is located close to the social hall, which has very nice accessible bathrooms.
For the second visit, we stayed in camping cabin #2, and I would have to say this was our least favorite camping cabin of the dozens we have stayed in all across the country. There is no porch swing, and the bench that is there is small and uncomfortable. There is no screen door, and the cabin faces north, so it does not benefit from the cooling breeze in the evening. It is located across the road from the playground. While that was not obnoxious, it did not lend itself to the quiet, peaceful experience we seek. While the mattress was thick, it was fitted in so tightly that making the bed was a huge struggle. The bed felt very short, probably because the wood at the foot of the bed stuck up so far. It was challenging to get comfortable. The cabin is only about 4 feet from the cabin next door, so it felt quite crowded. The air conditioning worked well. However, it is placed behind the door and under the one peg available for hanging clothing or bags. Naturally, we did not use the peg. The bathrooms in the front building are rather small, as are the showers.
Will we stay here again? Absolutely! However, if the only cabins available are #1 & #2, we will stay elsewhere.
Very convenient location. The park is kept clean and has grass and a few shady spots. They have everything you need and some extras like a hot tub and mini golf. Great meeting hall for our group of 12. The bathrooms are clean and functional. We pulled in after dark and had difficulty getting our travel trailer in the site. After 4 tries and moving a picnic table, we got in it. Helpful staff, nice people. We will be back.
