Nice setting, but management made our stay less enjoyable. The manager and her husband were unfriendly, with curt interactions toward guests. At an event wrapping up around 9:30 p.m. (before quiet hours), the manager stood nearby with arms crossed and a disapproving look, creating an unwelcoming atmosphere. The community pavilion was chained and locked, which was disappointing — especially on rainy days when it could be used for games or cards. Great potential here, but the customer service approach needs improvement.

Quiet, friendly park. Easy to find and pretty close to the port. The staff was very helpful and kind. Wi-Fi wasn’t the best, but doable.

Absolutely love Yankeeland. The new Manager has made so many great improvements and they just put in a new playground, updated the pool, added a cool fire pit area, added more store items, etc. it’s a great place to spend our spring and summer!

Lack of signs, hard to find site Site was good, but felt lucky as most were stuffed Wifi lmao why advertise it if the whole camp does have decent coverage, can't be that much to add antennas Store closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays, would.have been nice to have access to wood, honor system maybe if you gonna close. Quite time is for all, should let the seasonal know that also, loud as hell well after midnight River access terrible why advertise it With all that, yes could have been better, but I would still go back

Ive been coming here for 33 years. The new owners treat this place like a money making hole. New sign lacks character and name is misleading. No toilet paper… My canoe was stolen. No general store. We think this is an RV Resort? Great History, but uncertain future. It will always be Yankeeland Campground.
