Patti Sponheimer
Stayed at this campground for over 3 months while our new home was being built. The owner, Deb, was very visible, always monitoring the campground, campers and the sites. She has a lot of rules, runs a tight ship, and expects that guests respect other guests and her property. Her management of the campground is spot on. It's clean, well maintained, has an active social calendar, a rec hall, a pool, and an outdoor theater to name just some of the anemities. We found her to be most accommodating to our needs. It's her livelihood and her home. If she seems a bit short tempered, often stressed and sometimes maybe impatient, she's entitled. Managing a little city like Witch Meadow Lake Campground requires constant attention. She is truly a great owner and manager, once you get past her "frosty" exterior. Her staff, especially Donna in the office, make up for any of Debs "people skills." Everyone we interacted with was helpful, pleasant and courteous. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking a relaxing, fair priced, home away from home experience. From the amount of manicured seasonal sites, its apparent this place has been home to many for a good number of years.

I have been camping here on and off for nearly 30 years and I am now seasonal. This is the cleanest and best run campground in the area. I do hear complaints about the rules but those same rules make this an extremely quiet, clean, and safe campground.

We have Not had a friendly family experience at all. We have tried to do another summer here but the campground Manager Debbie is so rude, angry and does not have tolerance or a way of communicating respectfully. She changes rules for some and not all. Some people can have a dog while others cannot. She drives around in her golf cart yelling at kids while playing. Maintaining rules is one thing but harassing guests and their family members while on vacation walking, swimming, playing on the field is just not okay. She is so rude and inappropriate and we have never had an experience like this before anywhere else. This is not a family place. And it’s too bad because the campground is truly amazing but the stress and rudeness does not make for a good vacation spot

Our route took us through the area so we called that morning to book a spot for one night. Traffic caused us to run late. We called to let them know ahead of time and they were very nice about it. She left our info on the door for us. The campground is very pretty. Nice lake and very clean bathrooms and laundry. The campground is tight so if you have a large RV I would pass. Ours 30ft travel trailer was ok.

Campsite is level, roomy and has a layer of crushed granite making it very nice. The location of electric, water and grey water dump are very convenient. The store has a lot of great items for sale and the prices are reasonable. We swam in the lake and rented a canoe to fish. Great time for sure!!!we will be back.
