So today we ventured to one of our favorite spots in Ohio, Mohican State Park! We have been on these trips about 20 times in the past two years!
This time was HORRIBLE. We paid for our raft which had five people at 3pm. We were pushed off the side to start our expected great trip.
Unfortunately around 6pm a guide from Mohican adventures came upon us and had a immature, rude, and explicit attitude towards my family.
He said we needed to paddle faster because the bus stops transporting boaters at 7pm. He stated that we should not be as far behind as we are because the trip itself takes 4 hours on the dot! Note, we stopped once to stretch!
I told them that the river is about two feet deep, we had a raft of 5 people and it bottomed out almost the entirety of our trip. Which then I would get out and drag the raft.
He began to get extremely rude, trying to tell me to paddle faster, told us if we didn’t go faster he would tow us, telling me he is in charge & just being really rude for a teenage employee.
He then insisted that my almost 9 month pregnant wife grab a paddle and start paddling because we need to get going, as well as trying to get my disabled mother, and my 5 year old niece to as well. Which was NOT happening.
We called the office and of course no manager type person was available to talk with, but you should really reconsider not letting a raft down a dryer than normal river bed with 5 people on board at 3pm if you think it only takes 4 hours to drift down.
You monitor the levels when they are too high & close shop, but yet keep the river over when the river is EXTREMELY LOW, and expect people to drag, and run across the river bed pulling the raft that costs $110.
Also your little adolescent told us that in the long contract we sign, that 7pm is the cut-off, maybe you should put that outside or tell your cashiers to inform people before taking their money. Because NOBODY reads that disclosure & when you sign it in two seconds and slide it over your cashier says nothing either.
It’s never been a problem until we met this jerk. But hey thanks for the horrible trip. We don’t...
Read moreThis campground is in a great location for many activities. However, they should train their workers better on camp policies. We had a camper spot with a tent which the web site said was allowed. A friend had a backup tent in case of issues with the bigger one. She did ask the girl checking us in out of curiosity if the smaller tent would also be allowed and the girl said yes, as long is it does not go onto the other campsite. Well after setting up in the hot sun, the owner said we had to take it down. Fine, but please make sure the staff know what they are doing because for all we knew, it could have been a policy that was simply not updated on the website. They got nit picky about where garbage was set out even though it was not on the street. While we do appreciate it being orderly, they are kind of nit picky. We did, however, greatly appreciate that they do come to be of assistance while you are backing the campers in, so that is nice, especially for less experienced backers. Maybe it was just the heat but they seemed rather judgy over small mistakes, even after their own staff dont seem to know the policies. Not like we could cancel out by the time we knew how hot is was supposed to get. I will say the area is beautiful and there is plenty around to meet needs such as a laundry mat in walking distance and lots of activities. Another con, is that adults can barely enjoy the pool due to legions of children. I would think having a couple hours a day for adults only could give the adults a better chance to cool off in peace and get a short break from the insane amount of child energy. Even 2 hours for 16 years old and up, so even the older kids can enjoy it more as well. So much potential, but getting nit picked at in sweltering heat in a spot with very little shade was a bit much. I would not book if anywhere closer to the main gates is all that is left, because there are barely any shade trees. And don't think as an adult, you really have the option at any point of enjoying the pool to cool off because it is constantly...
Read moreMini golfing, bad experiences. Our first time out there were dead fish in the streams on the course with dead fish smell. We asked for a refund, they don't give refunds. Did provide tokens to return another time for mini golf. We did go back and had a positive experience. Then returned again recently and repeat bad experience. The tunnels (3 holes in a row that are in a continuous tunnel like structure) on the mini golf course course were full of water, 3 inches high in some areas, mushrooms were growing in there, smelled really bad. Obviously the golf ball did not travel well through standing water either. Note that no one suggested not to choose this particular course related to the flooding prior to starting. So we didn't finish the game, grossed out during fourth hole, and requested a refund. Again, "we don't give refunds." And was told that it has been raining so much that everything has been wet for two weeks and alot of people don't mind walking through the water. And that mushrooms grow when it's wet. I suggested to at least warn people about that particular course condition. The manager replied "what, warn people that it has been raining?" 🤨 Um, no, I meant to warn people that you have a carpeted golf course in a tunnel that is dark and filled with water that has been sitting stagnant for 2 weeks and stinks and mushrooms are growing all along the way. Aside from the grossness, how are you supposed to play mini golf thru standing water? Wouldn't you close the course for utility and sanitary reasons?? There are two other courses that could be used anyway. We did not care to stay and try a different course. No apology from manager, only offer of token to replace the game, and "we don't give refunds ". The cashier did apologize for the unpleasant experience but the manager never indicated that there was anything wrong with the course and that's just normal when it has...
