This past weekend may be our last! We have been taking our family here for many, many years, typically on holiday weekends. After paying $382 for three nights (that’s correct $382 – for early bird lakefront!), the bathrooms had no toilet paper, were clearly not serviced at all, and the staff was.... well, we'll get there... I can't make this stuff up.

Starting around 11pm we had to deal with a drunken, disorderly camper screaming profanities and fighting with their partner in a very hostile tone for everyone to hear. This was followed up by a brief period of silence and then a 12am to 1 am guitar jam session (note: quiet time starts at 10pm). This incident woke up the entire surrounding camp sites, including our young children. After an hour of enduring the obnoxious behavior, I got dressed to go address the issue with the campers. My wife and I politely explained the campground rules and asked them to be quiet as they were incredibly loud. They proceeded to put the guitar away. It was quiet for about 20 minutes until the woman started screaming profanities at us and yelling "no one tells me what to do", "F-this, F-you”. This went on for about another hour until ~ 2am. We did not have good enough service to call the sheriff. In the morning the campers left very early, but their tent and equipment was still there. I went up to their site to get the site number to report them to the campground staff. Instead of a site number the sign read CAMP HOST! We reported them to the on-duty manager the following morning.

Our kids were up with the sun at 6:15 am and we got to spend the day absolutely exhausted because of someone else's selfish behavior. Wellington Lake used to be a special place to go because of it's beauty. Sad to say that you pay for five-star scenery and now very disappointing amenities.
