This place could be a 10/10 but I’m not exaggerating when I say the women’s bathhouses have an infestation of medium to large sized spiders. Above the showers, above the sinks, above the door when you walk in and on all the walls so you have to be careful not to bump into them. And they’re fast! I’ve seen them speed running along the walls trying to catch a moth, fighting each other, multiplying. They have signs saying they close the bathhouse everyday from 1-2pm for cleaning but I legitimately don’t know how it could take you an hour to sweep the floors and not to manage the spiders somehow. Sticky traps? Sprays? Power wash the bathroom like other campgrounds? Nope, same spiders and webs are always there so nothing much is being done about them from what I can tell.
The bathhouse down by the beach is almost as bad and it does not have showers except the outdoor spigot in case you’re wondering.
On a lesser note, the showers are… uncomfortably high pressure. Imagine showering on the bottom floor of the titanic as the water rushes in. It’s like getting water boarded if water boarding meant pelting you in the eyes, face, etc with a board of water. The nozzles don’t move and there’s no way to control temperature, pressure, and no room to move farther away or reposition from the onslaught of cold -ish water… luckily showers don’t take long because you have to keep an eye on the spider above your head and if another one starts rushing in shower time is over anyway.
They do have tent and camper spaces intermixed in some areas, which has caused a little trouble here and there but it was manageable.
There are trees, tree stumps, root systems, etc to navigate in many of the spaces. Luckily we got here early enough to try moving around for a level spot without hitting two trees a few times. The shade was nice so it’s better than no trees I guess!
Staff is very friendly and responsive.. just not great...
Read moreI have been a loyal visitor of North Beach Campground for many years and have always appreciated its fantastic location next to the bike path, beach, and its proximity to downtown Burlington. However, I must express my deep disappointment with the declining cleanliness of the bathroom facilities during my recent stay.
To put it bluntly, the state of the bathrooms was horrifying. The showers were thoroughly disgusting, with dirty floors and malfunctioning fixtures. The vents were covered in filth, and the walls and ceilings were beyond dirty, adorned with spider webs and bugs. The toilets were an indescribable sight, as they were not cleaned regularly. Wet paper clung to the sides, and when they were soiled, they remained that way for the entire day due to a lack of maintenance. Even the sinks were disgusting and far from clean.
It saddens me to have to write such a poor review, as I genuinely love this campground and have cherished many memories here. However, I strongly believe that this situation needs to be brought to the attention of the management. Having visited numerous campgrounds across North America, I can confidently say that the state of the bathrooms at North Beach Campground is by far the worst I have ever encountered.
I would like to urge the staff or management to spend a few days using these bathrooms themselves, so they can truly understand the frustration and discomfort that guests experience. Neglecting the cleanliness of the facilities is an unfortunate way of taking your customers for granted.
I sincerely hope that this review serves as a wake-up call and prompts the necessary actions to address the issue. The cleanliness of the bathrooms is a vital aspect of any camping experience, and it should not be overlooked. North Beach Campground has the potential to provide a remarkable camping experience, and I genuinely hope to see improvements...
