There are several bad reviews on here about Wally Pete. Wish we could see who is the camp host before booking because we are amongst the many that will not return if Wally Pete is still there, he needs to retire retire if he is in such a power struggle because he's ruining the experience for many people. We leave to have a great experience, mostly free of people. This was my first time camping in over 3 years due to a mobility injury.
I booked our spot 4 months ago, it required a 2 night stay if you were staying a weekend. Our event was 7/30, So I booked 7/29 and 7/30 because it was required. As most people have, we had a crazy work week and didn't hit the road until Saturday.
We set up camp and are met with the host saying "Sorry this is booked."
Yes, it is booked by us, here's a screenshot. Well is your name on the post? Yes.
We'll you're lucky, you booked this for the 28th so now it's no one's spot.
No, we actually just missed yesterday because they required a two-day booking.
Who's "they?" I'm in charge here, this is my decision.
Recreation.gov, you're above all those federal agencies?
"Well, they don't know."
He called me "honey" and dismissed me. It's 2022, we don't call women honey to dismiss them, give me a break. I'm the one that booked the site.
If you REQUIRE people to book two nights over the weekend, I feel like some people are going to miss that first night because of work schedules and unpredictable hiccups.
Wally has very little people skills.
Overall the site was GORGEOUS, our one night here was spectacular besides Wally.
