My family and I have been going to Wench Creek Campground for many years and have never had a bad experience until this year. The host, Sherry and her husband Jerry were very mean, horrible, rude, and disrespectful. We arrived at 10 AM as it was a first come first served campsite. We have 3 families and we wanted to rent 3 sites, but we were told to stay in one site for the price of 3 sites, and pay extra fees for the extra cars as the site only have 1 parking space. We didn't think much of it at the moment. Later, around 6 PM, another family of our arrived, and they were told that they can choose any empty site. As soon as they parked to the site next to us, Jerry came yelling and pointing this finger at us...calling us liars and that he already TOLD us that we cannot have more than 1 site. We were so shocked and stunned! Just because we know each other, then we all have to stay in 1 site? We had about 4 families, a total of 15 people. Later, Sherry told us that she didn't expect our families to "BOMBARDED" the campsite, and that we should leave. Bombared????? It was around 7 PM then, and it was getting dark. But, we left anyways, and we will never go back. The host and her husband made what could have been a great family camping trip into a frustrating, stressing, and hurtful experience.

The bathrooms are disgusting, absolutely disgusting. The lake is very unsafe, we tried to go in and were sucked in to the mud. We went camping to be able to swim and that is why we chose this campsite. We left early and tried to get a refund due to the filth and safety concerns. The site host just said it is enter at your own risk and denied us a refund. We spend $240 on both the sites and the greedy hosts are keeping it and probably rented out site out to someone else and doubled their money. Dirty business and dirty bathrooms.

Great place but the water level is very low so they can work on a boat launch. I don't know why they would choose to do this in the middle of summer 🤯

We have camped at Union Valley Res. every year for over 20 years now. The last 5 years we have camped at Wench Creek. Chris has been camp host for the last two years. Chris is the most polite camp host we have ever encountered over our many years. My family and I enjoy seeing him. Hope Chris continues to to host for many years to come.
