Horrible customer service from the start. We registered online with a 35" 5th wheel for 2 nights. On checking in, we wouldn't fit in the site so the girl at the desk put us in a different site saying she couldn't escort us to our site. This was our first time being there and her excuse was they were short staffed. The street signage was very small and hard to read. Site numbers were said to be on every pedestal but they were not visible from any drive. After only a few minutes of driving around, we were astonished by all the trash and junky trailers on site. Note that if your camper is more than 10 years old , they want to first see a picture of it so as to keep their place classy. Not the case here once you have paid and are here. We call back to the office for assistance finding our site and the girl said she would have to lock the office and was hesitant about doing so but she would come out to hep us find our place. We simply asked for a refund saying we were very disappointed with the situation so far. When she told us they don't give refunds, we asked for a manager to call us back. At this point we left to find another place which we did and were at in about 30 minutes. The manager called us back offering us drinks at the bar, a premium site, tickets for kids in the bounce house, and free water craft but I and the wife were only there for 2 nights. We were not going back to that dump. She said she would have to speak with the owners about a refund but never called us back. Five days later I called several times to speak with the manager again but no call back. She did however text us saying they will not issue a refund saying the girl in the office could not leave the desk because her coworker was using the restroom. Then why did she say she couldn't leave because they were short handed? Long story short, think long and hard before you visit this trashy place. Showers were dark and dingy and smelled. The beach looked more like gravel and not pleasing. Just walking around, I couldn't get away from the awful smell of people smoking and vaping and a strong smell of pot smokers everywhere. Not at all the place we would take our grand kids ever.

Pearl Lake is a very clean and peaceful place. There are lots of new positive upgrades and the staff is very accommodating and professional. We are looking forward to spending time out there again next year.

For a day trip, it’s great. Water is clean, even when it’s packed there is still plenty of space to stake your claim. Food trucks are convenient. Didn’t try the bar or restaurant. This is the best kept secret ever. We didn’t discover it until the end of the summer and managed to go twice. It will be our go-to next summer. Must say there is a HUGE difference in crowds on a weekday vs a weekend. I highly recommend a week day. The music is upbeat and fun. Inflatable climber for the kids.

Excellent. Pet friendly but not near beach. Bring alcoholic beverages but not in glass. Bring your own propane grill, chairs, umbrella or canopy.

Went yesterday and had so much fun. I had a blast, the kids had a blast. Music was pumpin, food trucks were serving up amazing food options, water was so clean and beautiful. My kids loved running up and down the sand hills.. it was a great day, we definitely will be back.

The new owners fixed the bridge so we can access the other side of the beach. Added sand to the fishing area so more people can enjoy. The inflatables were a huge hit for the kids. Absolutely worth the money for a day at this beautiful beach. We will be back this summer!

This used to be a spectacular place. Now they've gone from $1500 to $1800, then to $2500, now $4000. They've taken away the security people, disallowed diving in the lake, and they want to charge if you have a visitor over for a campfire. The restaurant is closed permanently, and no visitors at the beach either. Sadly, we had to pull out.

My husband and I drove up to see if we could drive through the campground and check it out and get a feel for the layout. They refused. Then we asked if we could drive up to the office and chat with someone about making a reservation and ask some questions and they refused us at the gate. We will not be booking any reservations at anytime. Their customer service is disgusting.

My husband and I stopped in Saturday asking if we could see the park because we are in need of a seasonal site. The lady at the entry point was really rude to us and said everyone was busy and an appointment was necessary. She seemed more interested in the person she was speaking to at the gate. We visited other campgrounds that day and they were more than happy to oblige. I understand the necessity for an appointment, but rudeness isn't necessary. You lost a possible customer.

This place used to be the best place around for reasonably clean water, nice well kept sand beaches, and a decent atmosphere. Now, the new owners don't even allow the public in. They need their head's examined clearly. At this point I'd rather have the government take it from them and open it back up to the public. GET RID OF THESE OWNERS.

Beautiful setting, fantastic shade trees, very quiet, nice gravel sites so not dealing with mud on a rainy day. Bathroom showers are very clean, that need updating. Would have rated a 5, but no laundry room.
