Northwoods RV Resort by Zeman — Hotel in Bonus Township

I stopped here for an overnight stay with mom Large Camper, fifth wheel. I tried to call the park/resort seven or eight times to book My reservation as I was traveling closer and closer to the area. I chose this resort because it had full hook ups with 50 amp power, and very few in my travel path offered that or had availability. I called and called and never spoke to anyone so I finally ended up booking the reservation online. After booking I continue to call them additional three or four times to confirm my reservation and see what time was my latest arrival. (ong intro, sorry) . I arrived about 5:45 PM and there was an envelope on the office door with my name on it with all the paperwork, cool. Still haven’t spoke to anyone. The site was as described with a compact gravel pad and full-service hook ups, decent amount of room to get in and out with my 55 foot unit. Water Spicket had a small leak in the water had a sulfur smell, but no big deal. Went to check out the next day and saw a lady locking the office door to leave, at 10:30 AM, apparently no one else works there. Spoke to her just trying to be courteous and let her know that maybe there was a phone system problem and let them know that I did try to call yesterday to book my reservation but wasn’t able to get through. She just stared at me with a blank look on her face, looking me there in the eye. She said “…uh, ok.”. I was being nice, friendly even! So I turned walk away and said “well, OK…. )I giggled and said “Apparently you don’t care” (Giggling STUNNED as I walked away). She then said “it’s not that I don’t care, I just don’t know what to do about it”. I told her I was just trying to let her know in case there was a phone system problem or in case they thought I just didn’t make any effort to get there for whatever. Where I come from personal communication and personal services everything so I guess that’s not just matters more to me. She could care less! I don’t know if this lady was just an employee, manager, owner, I have no clue. For reference to identify her, in case it matters, she was a large heavy set white lady.||As I stated before the facilities were Nas and it was as it described online, I just will not go back there when I’m traveling through the area because I want someone to at least communicate and be nice to me if they’re going to charge me $85 for an overnight RV parking! Most places are $50- $65. Add in The sulfur smell in my shower, I’ll go somewhere else, and apparently they...

We were seasonal campers at Northwoods for 2 seasons and found that there were many pros & cons to this property. Generally speaking the property is well maintained with the exception of the rec hall and bathrooms by the ponds which need much love. We were located down by the river and absolutely loved it down there (minus the flooding threats but never had to move our camper, others did). We all loved hanging out in the river….you can normally walk across the river, sit your chair in the water, float down in a tube etc. We met some nice people, especially down by the river sites. The location was always very convenient for our Wisconsin family and friends to visit and only about an hour drive for us from the Western Suburbs. I hate to throw in the cons but I feel it’s necessary in order to give an honest review. The rates that they charge are in no way in line with what is offered. Food trucks are considered an “activity”? I guess if all you do is eat. Kids activities (when there is actually one planned) severely lack in organization, creativity or planning. Most fun events at the campground are run by the campers themselves and are always great! As a seasonal you have access to a beautiful clubhouse that is rarely used, never for any sort of campground organized functions. The 2 times we tried to use it last season we were sharing it with the “security guard”, who is also the managers husband, who was lounging on the couch watching a movie. Throughout the season many seasonal campers pull their campers off site to travel. We had already made the decision to move to a new location for the next season but there was still 3 weeks left in the season (which we had paid for). We pulled our items off the site when we had the availability one weekend to do so and pulled our camper for a trip we had planned. We had planned on coming out one last weekend to camp with our seasonal friends one last time only to find out the manager had rented out our seasonal site to overnight campers! Anyway, we will miss our friends but good riddance! After being at our new place for only a couple months I see how much we were missing out on by being at Northwoods. It’s very quiet and peaceful, I would say more geared towards retirees, not so much young families...
