Not happy with all lights after 11 when tent camping. Golf carts ruin everything lights shining in my tent till about 1 in morning when driving by I’m a bare foot Piney who loves the woods just some people have no courtesy of others 2 young men came by my tent asking me if I had anything they could do for money they wanted to buy a Vapor to smoke. Made me feel uncomfortable apparently they live here and there mom works here. They asked the lady next to me for a cigarette they couldn’t be older then 14 very strange. I seen one of them as I was walking pass the swimming pool and he jog over to me asking if I knew anyone around my tent who would want to buy soda he could get them two if they paid him $3 he had a way to get the from the vending machine I ask the young man where his mom or dad was and he said they left for the week and his brother and him are alone. Strange as the other one said they live here and his mom works here. keep an eye on your children if you are that mother not a place for young men to be alone you don’t know who is out there camping

Stayed at Wading Pines for a small family Vacation The Positive : Friendly Staff Housekeeper was a stand out as she visited our site and other to make sure we had trashbags talked to kids and gave some pointers on fishing. ,Pool Relaxing , Canoeing was Fun. Bathrooms cleaned, Bounce Pillow was different for kids but they loved it. Pool Lady was pleasant and helped my Daughter with her float device ( Thank you ) Pond was Nice for kids to fish caught small ones. ( need Lilly pads removed ) The Negative: Recreation Hall needs updating , No activity during the weekdays , front Desk staff Not as friendly as Staff who drive around. Don’t Order a personal Pizza they are Raw and when I walked back up to Store the young lady Rolled her eyes and said that’s the time unless you want to burn it. Then says: Enjoy your stay here at wading pines thank you and walked away sat at a computer peeking over to see if I was leaving I left pizza and went back to my family. Quiet time at 11pm is Not quite time A lot of drinking ,yelling and marijuana smoking along Seasonal Blvd to use restrooms. Overall I say we might return Next year Kids had fun it’s a place away from everything with no WiFi so you get to really enjoy your family.

Visited this weekend 7/11 & 7/12 the Cabin area for a Birthday Party and it was quite nice. Not what I expected was surprised by how clean the cabin was for a campground. Beds could use some upgrading but you can tell they are cleaned frequently and thoroughly I lifted to check under them as I had a bad experience in a campground before with trash being left behind so I wanted to make sure my niece wasn’t sleeping on dirty bedding and it was very clean air conditioning was cleaned and the mini fridge was spectacular looked brand new. The only Down fall was the loud noise from the camping area directly across from us with heavy drinking and partying pass 11pm when it was suppose to be down time. The pool area was nice clear water and the beach area was ok we had to wash a load of clothes and the laundry area was out dated but clean. The Hall had food for the girls to snack on and bathrooms were clean girls used showers Sat morning and the housekeeper was nice to the girls asking them to give her 5 mins so she could make sure the showers were cleared of her chemicals made us feel like she cared that they were using them and they were kids not like most campgrounds who don’t care. Office staff the best smiles and friendly. I can say as outdated this campground is the staff here are Amazing warm and welcoming I would come back again.

I came to Wading pines this pass Week and it was such a different experience I had then my previous experience over pass few yrs. The campground is being updated and my Children had a blast on the big bounce they put in. The craft shack was a lot of fun for the kids it was only open on wkend by far the best Pool upkeeping I seen in yrs. The chairs were clean and around the pool was also. Water was blue and didn’t stink My husband was impressed by the bathrooms the most he came to show me pictures of the restroom and how clean they were on a Thurs and Fri I tend to not use the restrooms myself as I never had seen them clean before. That being said I went in the ladies and Sure enough you can smell the Cleanness and see they are cleaned very frequently as there are many people on Fri night. The store front and the new addition of snacks at rec hall was very convenient. Very nice guy Jessie actually helped my daughter and the cashier was so so nice. Prices are actually reasonable we seen higher at other campgrounds. The staff some old faces and some new but over all as they drove by on golf carts everyone waves and smiles makes you feel welcoming. Only con I had was a lot of drinking and loudness coming from a section called seasonal so we just stayed away from there other then using the restrooms we will be back again before season ends hoping we can catch another great experience.
