Campsite: Wolf Lake Resort & Campground

So much potential, but a gross campground which needs a complete overhaul.

When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly staff who directed us to our site. It would have been helpful to have a map, given that the campground has a number of paths and areas, and the site was not clearly marked.

We got out and began setting up. We were very happy with the view of Wolf Lake.

Our first problem: The site layout made no sense. Electrical and water were on one side, sewer (we paid for full hook ups) were on the other. No standard equipment could support this layout, and no matter what you'd wind up with cords and hoses or sewer hoses laying across the entirety of your campsite, no matter how you set up.

The next (and worse problem): Trash. More than just litter. It looked like our campsite was formerly a garbage dump. There was glass (tempered and cheap), nuts, bolts, screws, wire, shrapnel, women's underwear, litter, washers, and other unidentifiable debris _all over_ the place. I called the office to complain and they (literally the office manager and a kid) came out and tried to clean it. They brought a box of well-past-its-prime firewood as a nice gesture.

She offered us another site. We towed our camper down to the new site and decided it would be better to investigate this one first. We found that it was not full hook-ups, which didn't work for our configuration.

She didn't offer an alternative and said this site was clean now and she'd have the groundskeeper blow it as well, and did give us some monetary compensation (1 nights fees, but for a water + electric site. I don't understand the logic) We needed to get set up for sleep at this point and accepted.

We wound up not hooking up our sewer until we were ready to dump at the end of the trip. Our front door opened right up to our neighbors (seasonals), who were quiet and tidy.

Some of the other full-timers were not so tidy – lots of junk in the yards, run down and dirty campers. Everyone was relatively quiet and friendly. The kids playground was a bit sad – everything run down, the swings all lop-sided, an odd collection of old children's' outdoor toys.

The water had good pressure, the power was clean.

I would not stay here again. This place is a beautiful location, too far past its prime. We're left wondering just how so much debris and trash was all over our campsite.
