The campground itself was fine and lovely, but the Host? The host was by far the worst person I have ever met in my entire life. My group had never camped there before, and upon arrival, the host was not in their little hut at the gate. The last campground we went to allowed for payment by credit card for the first come first serve spots, which is what we were doing, so we knew we would need to see the host. We never found him all day the first day we were there. Then the next day around noon, he showed up to our campsite, and IMMEDIATELY started berating us for trying to get away with camping without paying. I was in my tent when I heard him come up to my friend and start yelling at her. He then started belittling her asking if she could read English (which, by the way, we are all well educated white Americans, yes we can read English). So in a matter of 30 seconds of him being there, he said "So you can't read?? You can't read English?? Are you claiming ignorance?? Is there an Adult here that I can talk to??" (Also, we are all in our mid 30's). At that point I came out of my tent and started yelling at him for talking so mean and disrespectful. By the time I got closer to the commotion, a third friend had intervened to try to de-escalate. She was holding her infant, and he leaned into the infant and said "Are YOU the adult here?" My friend finally got things de-escalated, and I didn't hear some of the words said, but he angrily told us he doesn't work Wednesdays when we told him we couldn't find him the day before, and then informed us we had to pay either by check or cash, nothing else (which when I got home and looked it up on the website, they do have a scan to pay, which he didn't tell us was an option). So we got the envelope from him, found enough cash between the 3 of us, and took it to the hut. Thankfully he wasn't there. But that basically ruined the rest of our trip, and we will likely never go there again because of this awful, disrespectful excuse of a...
Read moreStarted with an email notification that said water was down at the campground. I emailed back, to ask if this was the bathroom, or just culinary water. Only got an email back confirming that water was down, but said nothing about bathrooms. We were traveling with elderly family, and only rented here because of said bathrooms. Emailed again asking if bathrooms were down and about cancellation policy due to no water, and received zero response. Because we had no idea if we would get money back, we ended up keeping the reservation, with an RV to accommodate family. This campground IS NOT RV friendly. I would NEVER take an RV through the loop; it is uneven, narrow roads, with zero room to backup. On top of all of this, had people show up 11 p.m., yelling, hollering at incoming cars, taking loudly, then leaving around 4 a.m. Probability would be: people showing up after closing, and leaving before opening, KNOWING no one patroled the area. Nobody came around to kick them out, or tell them to be quiet. Woke EVERYONE up at several surrounding camps. Someone from a camp went and told them to keep it down, but it didnt stop. Next morning, kids hadn't slept and crying; adults were irritable from not sleeping as well. Terrible experience. Where were the camp hosts, or someone to make sure people weren't being belligerent, from what I assumed drunk? To continue with this way less than stellar experience, the next day on the other end of the campground, someone had loud speakers and played loud music all day. I love music, but the fact that we could hear it from one site of the campground to the other was a bit much. I will try to upload a video that will have people from our campground, and from the other playing music. Will never stay here again. Zero stars. Would NOT recommend. Worst campground we have ever...
Read moreVery unfriendly staff and host. My husband and I were hiking through Solitude and set up a hammock off the side of the trail. Apparently we set up on a campsite that needed to be paid for totally our mistake and misunderstanding and an old man in a golf cart approached us and let us know we needed to leave. So we started packing up our stuff and let him know we'd leave and that we were sorry. I looked over after a minute of packing up, and he was still staring heavily and didn't look away once..he says "I'm going to keep staring as long as I want until you leave" very creepy and uncomfortable..I let him know once again we were leaving and there was no need to be rude. As we were walking away he started FOLLOWING US IN THE GOLF CART and this guy has not taken his eyes off us! So my husband asked if he liked the view from following behind us;) and he starts swearing at us and saying he was going to call the cops. (Call the cops got what?? We were cooperative and left) I asked for his name and he says "Fred Flintstone" ... and refuses to give his real name. (Not even on the campsite anymore) he was STILL staring at us. Maybe the old man is just crazy and senile and bitter, but we left and he continued to harass and yell at us. Wouldn't pay a dollar to stay there if that's...
