Camp Richardson is still a beautiful place to stay. The camp grounds which my family and I stay at every year, are nice, however, we've noticed that the upkeep and maintenance had declined much. The restrooms are dirty and disgusting. Bathrooms stink, showers clogged, and dirty. They clean once a day, however we were watching, and all they really do is sweep, and pick up the trash. The whole week we were there not one did I see them use any chemicals to clean. At night, toilet paper, toilet covers, and paper towel dispenser are usually empty. For the amount of got traffic, they should be cleaned and checked at least twice a day. The cleaning crew they had a few years back did a fantastic job. Now it looks like they just hired some kids for a summer job who don't really take the time to clean it properly. They need to do better.

I was very disappointed with this location. We stayed in the hotel and our room had no where to sit, I was without a doubt the smallest room I've stayed in and the bathroom was very small. Location is almost a stones throw the the lake and there are some local businesses near by but to go anywhere else you deal with the traffic on the North Shore highway. The room was pretty warm inside and no air conditioning, the windows didn't stay open, and lastly the fans were loud. The cabin might be better but I don't know.

Had lunch outside on the beach. They have music! Wonderful chowder and Caesar salad. My friend brought me there for the Pokémon nachos. Then, took the walk to the awesome museum! Its a must see.

Had the best weekend here staying at Richardson House. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating in all areas- from the ice cream parlor to the coffee shop to the general store to the Grove. Would come back in a heartbeat! Huge thanks to Travis and Natalie for making our girls weekend extra special and memorable. We love Camp Rich!

Beautiful spot, sunset is bar none up here. Lovely little cabins to stay in. Some days were packed full and then the next was so quiet we didn't know if anyone else was there. A great place to go spend time with the family without all the electronic distractions.
