We booked a cabin for the weekend and it definitely was not cleaned before our arrival. There was heavy Dust in all the corners of all the floors, and on the blinds. There were 2 crappy coffee makers but no complimentary filters or coffee which was just kind of annoying The store sold make your own nespresso or keurig for $2 but they don’t open until 9am. Also they don’t stock much of anything but you are close to shopping. The pond seemed clean but was across from some sort of quarry/ mine which was pretty noisy. The location was perfect for us but otherwise just meh. Super annoyed by the dust. For over $200 per night and you have to bring your own linens, someone could at least swiffer sweep the place.

We enjoyed the pool and beach. Also the kids in our group loved the jumping pad. The front desk/reception staff needs customer service training. They were rude and unhelpful. Interesting too that I am not the first person to state this in the reviews. Please ensure they are given customer service training for future guests.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. I've been camping at this place for 11 years. This year was different. The male receptionist wasn't very polite. I rented a spot with water and electricity, but when I got there, there was no water or electricity. He told me there was only one vacant space, far from the water, and that I would have to vacate on Friday, even though my reservation was for Saturday. I was upset with his disregard. And to avoid losing my vacation with three children, I asked to have my neighbor's power plug pulled. They gave me an extension cord, and the power problem was resolved. The maintenance guys were excellent. However, I paid for electricity and water. Not even a responsible person came to see if we needed anything, or at least apologize for what happened (I would totally understand). I had to get out by car and go to the bathroom to wash dishes. And the bathrooms this year were filthy like I'd never seen before. I paid extra to secure my space, which showed on the website that it would have water and electricity. I'm very upset and I don't know if I'll come back

Spent the 4th there and the campground itself is quite nice, with a peaceful atmosphere and a good lake that adds a lot to the camp. It's a nice spot to relax and enjoy nature, and the location has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the experience was affected by the staff, who were generally unfriendly and at times outright rude. It felt like some guests were treated differently than others, which made the stay uncomfortable, and unpleasant. There's definitely a need for staff training to ensure everyone is treated equally and respectfully. Overall, while the natural setting is beautiful, the management and site conditions really took away from the experience. With some improvements, this place could be great
