Worst customer service experience I've ever had in any setting. I reserved one of the yurts. I didn't find out that they'd broken the air conditioner inside until I arrived, checked in, drove back to the yurts, and went inside to find it at 120 degrees with the AC blasting but blowing only hot air (while set on cool).

I went back to the check in desk to ask if they were aware of the situation and when it would be fixed. They'd known about it for hours and couldn't tell me if it would be fixed. I tild them this was unacceptable as an incredibly hot yurt on a 93 degree day with no AC was a health hazard for multiple members of our party. I was told by Laurel, and I quote, "That's your problem. We don't issue refunds. So deal with it."

At this point, I asked for the park manager's phone number. I called it on the way back to the yurt only to find I'd been given a fake number (a general NYS parks department phone tree number). I went back to get the real number. Laurel told me she couldn't give it to me. I asked for her name. She told me she wouldn't give it to me, started screaming at me, and ran back inside the check in building. I attempted to follow her in and, I kid you not, found her attempting to hold it shut with two hands on the knob to keep me out. I asked her to stop behaving like a child as attempting to play tug of war with a door was dangerous and someone could get hurt. She just kept shouting abouthow I couldn't come in as I (a paying customer with a complaint) wasn't welcome. I eventually just gave up trying to reason with the lunatic and walked away.

We left, having our entire vacation ruined, shortly after.

This was the most bizarre, unprofessional, and dangerous experience (as I was standing the in parking lot with cars coming in when Laurel decided she was going to act like a five year old with the door with my confused six year old standing beside me) I've ever had in any customer service setting. Needless to say, I will never, ever be going back. I won't being dealing with any state parks. The entire experience was a...

We camped at Four mile creek recently. Unfortunately we had a very unpleasant visit. Our truck broke down. We have a slide in truck camper. The manager Trish was determined to get our truck camper off the site we reserved. Since our truck was in shop we had no way to move our camper since it did not have any wheels. We told Trish about our situation on Wednesday. She said no worries we have trucks to move your camper. We explained to her we needed a special truck to move it. She said no worries. We were like ok. Come Friday she came telling us we got to get your camper off that site due to a reservation. We were like ok. We will gladly move it if you get us the appropriate truck & we will move it. She kept bringing trucks that were too small or had a light on the roof. She waited till it started to storm to try to move it. She was determined to move the camper even if it meant tearing up a truck or our camper & did not care about the safety of others. She was not understanding at all. We tried calling different RV dealers & even u haul to try to get it moved. Still no one had anything that could do the job. We felt so bad that we had to stay in that site. The maintenance guy Dustin of the park & the volunteer Zeke both went above & beyond to help us. Dustin brought us groceries since we had no way to get food. Zeke went to different campsites asking campers if anyone had a truck to help us move. Zeke found someone to help us. Thanks to the workers of the park we were able to enjoy a final day at the campground. But the manager of the park Trish was no help at all & made an already stressful time even more unpleasant with the way she treated us & her employees. 4 mile is a beautiful park but the manager Trish made for a horrible stay...
