Over the years we have written several reviews about this campground - it switches hands often and with new ownership comes new experiences. I would suspect new ownership again soon as the staffing and management seems grossly inadequate and inappropriate. Definitely not KOA standards. The restrooms were dirty and unkempt. The staff in the office were wonderful and friendly but the self appointed security staff harassed and badgered the teenagers in our group especially the girls. He taunted them and called them by the names on their sweatshirts as he tailgated them on his golf cart. He separated the girls from each other and made them feel targeted and unsafe. When we caught him in the act he said that kids with yeti cups are not allowed to leave their campsites. (Does a teenager go anywhere without a yeti cup these days?!) He admitted that they were not causing any trouble on their 8 pm walk together but he was in charge and the presumedly drunk kids were to follow his rules. He didn’t stop at the teenagers tho and shined flashlights on the younger kids as they played at the park. To call things creepy would be an understatement. I understand that there has been security breaches in the campers since this crew took the lead (a new phenomenon here) and I believe that if they took a good look at their staffing they would find the root cause. It sounds like the campers involved also had young ladies that stay there.
I would love to see the great days of the old Westward Ho back were families were welcomed and treated like family. A place where kids could play and swim without worry of being tailgated by staff or golf carts but I fear it will be a long wait before I write that review. Weekenders are simply not welcome here anymore and neither are families of diverse age groups.
***No children (from our group) were drinking at the time of the harassment. Your staff would have been clearly aware of that had they behaved appropriately and professionally.
