The water at the campsites here is awful!! Smelled bad, dirt in the cups we filled from multiple spigots throughout the campground! Smelled and looked like dirty pond water!! This is after all the park spigots were running for 7 days straight due to cold temps, not from non-use. Nearby place outside the park was under boil advisory. When husband contacted park staff multiple times about the issue suggesting there was a broken pipe causing the contamination both Connie and Laurie didn't seem to care and the one stated everything at her personal campsite was just fine so there was no issue with the water. During our 6 night stay we witnessed speeding, dogs running at large and doing their business everywhere, dog crap and trash in our site upon arrival, people parking RVs and cars outside of designated sites, someone living out of their vehicle and NOT in a camping unit or tent, and our neighbor many sites away blasting his music outside all day so our entire section could hear his music from INSIDE RVs. We gave up trying to convince Connie and Laurie regarding our concerns over the safety of the water. Then when I called to inform Laurie of 2 dogs running all over, not only in our section but the entire campground, she seemed to know exactly which dogs I was referring to and DID NOTHING! The dogs continued to run and do their business and no staff even entered our section. I only saw one staff golf cart pass by our site during our entire stay. In fact staff at Thousand trails campgrounds are supposed to make rounds, and not a single campsite was cleaned before or after guests in our section during our entire stay. Upon our arrival this park only had around 13% of the sites occupied (very slow time), but if this is the neglect happening when things aren't busy I can't imagine the chaos here during busy season. Before we arrived we'd read reviews complaining that the roads were dilapidated and bad, which is indeed true here and at most thousand trails we've visited. The lack of management we've witnessed once again is consistent with thousand trails across the country and this park is no exception. Got tired of boiling water and left early! Won't be back and NO I don't recommend!
