Tamworth Camping Area

Anna Maria is a passive aggressive piece of work! I will use today as an example of many of our interactions this year. As a seasonal member, we have a gate key and we forgot it this week at home. Anna Maria this morning, made a point of letting us know that she was in the office early by coming out and getting a board and bringing it into the office. we then went to the gate and waited to be let in only to be left waiting because it was 15 minutes before the office opened. She clearly wanted us to know that she was there and that we would wait. This is one example of many that we have seen this year. Including speaking, derogatory of campers checking in for a short stay in front of us, arriving early, and being told that they would wait until the exact time that the campsite check-in time was. Leaving people in the parking lot when the campsites were clearly open. The campground has been empty most of the year. She regularly calls the police for nonexistent issues. There are constantly police on the Campground, which is not very relaxing. She uses a sickly sweet voice to your face, to the point of being nauseatingly fake about it , but is very nasty, truly a horrible human being. She is a control freak who in every way lets you know that she will be in control of things to the point of making people extremely uncomfortable. She has actually stated to campers that if people don’t like the way she does things they don’t have to come. And that she does not want them there. The camp is in a state of disrepair, including the bathrooms and the children’s playground, however, I can see this year that they have tried to make some improvements. The campground itself is lovely. It is a shame that we will not be coming back because of absolutely ignorant conduct, lack of professionalism, passive aggressive behavior by the people running the place. It has potential, but not when people like this will make people uncomfortable at every turn. What should’ve been a great first experience for seasonal camping has turned into feeling like you’re walking on eggshells the whole time that you are here.

One of our favorite places to camp! Site's are large and well maintained. Newly renovated bathrooms/showers were a bonus since there aren't septic hookups on any of the river sites. Everything was so clean and prices were very reasonable for camping in that area. New management is doing a great job restoring this campground to its former glory!

When we arrived at Tamworth we were greeted by Anna Maria when we checked in. She shared with us how herself and husband recently took over the property. This is the first time we’ve stayed at Tamworth Camping Area. Upon arrival we were given a run down on everything we needed to know. Anna Maria was SO kind and welcoming. She shared with us that they’re in the process of a series of maintenance. One bathhouse is not renovated just yet, but will be soon. The other bath house with showers just finished being renovated the day we got there. They were very nice and worth the longer walk from our campsite. We are tent campers and booked space 26 on the river. We really enjoyed our site. It was quiet, away from any seasonal campers. Our neighbors were very quiet and respectful. There were lots of kids who mostly played by the playground. It was just my husband and I and our dog and it was very peaceful. Exactly what we were looking for. Overall we’d return back and appreciate seeing the work being put into the grounds to maintain a nice place to stay.

We stayed with 2 other families during the weekday so it wasn't crowded and stayed right on the river. Perfect for the kids! They are currently building a new bathroom so we missed that boat, but the ones we used were decent. The downfall is there was a family of crows that woke us up every morning around 5am. Bring ear plugs! The few people we met that worked there were nice. There's a sand volleyball court, a playground, and the kids rode bikes. Also down the street from White Lake... and Dollar General if you forget anything. It's likely we'll return.

First off, I wish I could give the staff 5 stars. They were awesome. This camp is a dump. Any time you see that “a modern America campground” or some other corporate greed company has bought a campground stay far away. It’s a prime example of a large corporation buying out a failing family campground and then putting in the bare minimum. The playground is 50 yrs old. Theres no pool, no game room and the bathrooms are dark and in need of replacement. The sites have a ton of trees in places that make it very difficult to maneuver and over a 30’ trailer. They needs to cut down about a dozen trees and this could be easily solved. Lastly there no dump station when you leave! So if you have been pooping and peeing in your travel trailer at a site without sewer they make you take it with you. So hopefully it isn’t your last trip for the season. Ver all would never stay here again. The KOA down the street is 3 times the campground for the same money.
