The road appeal of this campground is exactly what we were looking for as a young family. We talked to the owners and explained to them that we are an ever changing family, as we are a young family and we are also foster parents. We made it VERY clear that our family would be changing on a regular basis due to the foster children we help. They did backgrounds checks on all their campers which was wonderful, we knew our kids would be safe here. We decided this campground would be perfect for our family with the owners understanding of our situation we signed up for a seasonal campsite. We passed the background, filled out the necessary paperwork which included our foster children on their contract, we also paid them in full.
This is when it all went south. When it was time to pull our camper in the sites were not ready they were all mud, and still are, we were not given the site we picked out and signed the contract for, they gave us a different smaller site. Our sites were always mud especially when it rained. We were expected to mow our own lawn, but when our site was more mud then grass it made it almost impossible, and was no good for our lawn mower. They stated they were going to provide Culligan water treatment, the water was not treated, it had a very bad rotten egg smell, and was rusty looking. When we talked to the owners about this they did nothing to improve the water quality. We were told the pond was also going to be treated, but at the beginning of the summer it was full of tadpoles and frogs, where our children didn’t even want to go in because they didn’t want to step on them. Come mid-summer the water began to change color and was no longer clear, we asked the owners about this and he told us the water that was going in to the pond was treated and he no longer had intentions of treating the already filled pond.
Now on to the family element of the campground. I would expect to be able to have my family stop in for short visits at our site only. This was a problem with the owners and they charged anyone that came in to the campground even if it were 5 minutes. I do understand that there needs to be some rules and regulations so the owners did provide each camp site 10 free visitors a year. When we signed our contracts we understood it was going to be $3 a visitor. As soon as we had a visitor come that wanted to swim the fee went up to $8. I find this to be very deceiving. This made it very uncomfortable to have visitors and even made us feel very unwelcomed. We took our children to play in the “Frog hop” which is a place for families to go with many things to do. When we walked in the very seldom said hi without us saying it first. They would look at you and make you feel out of place. This was more of a place for adults to hang out and drink not somewhere for families to go to bond like first described. We decided this is not the place we first thought. At the end of the season we decided to go elsewhere to enjoy our summers with our family.
If anyone would like to discuss this with me, please feel free to reach out to me.
