This campsite was lovely, and the owner was friendly while we were there, but my son accidentally left his camping backpack at the playground, and the man has been SO INCREDIBLY RUDE to me since. I very politely asked him to mail the backpack and stated that I would pay for all shipping charges. Instead of mailing me the whole backpack, he just extracted my son's laptop charger from the backpack, and mailed that in a large bag that could have easily accommodated the backpack as well. When I called again to request the backpack (again offering to pay all charges), he was rude, and he could only talk about was how inconvenient it was going to be. I thanked him profusely anyway, and trusted that it would be sent. I just called a third time (seven days after I called the second time) to ask when I might should look for the package, and all he said was that he "needed to look into it." When I told him we needed the backpack for camp, he started yelling at me on the phone (but accused me of "getting excited", when I didn't raise my voice one bit) and then hung up on me. My hands are still shaking from this encounter, I am so surprised and shocked at the rudeness of this man. He seemed so nice in person. I can't stand conflict, and this was a...
Read moreWe utilized two sites for our weekend. In spite of the cold temps and rain, we enjoyed the site location. It was an easy site to back into and have space for the vehicle and camp setup.||||The bathhouse situation was not as nice. With COVID on the rise, there were no signs regarding wearing of masks or hand sanitizer available. Shower stalls were filthy all weekend long, as were toilet stalls. Floors were not cleaned either. Ceiling tiles were sagging and being held up with tape.||||Two shower stalls and one without hot water. When I stopped at the office to let the owner know, he pretended to be surprised but I was not fooled. Nothing was done all weekend to remedy the situation.||||Yes, the old school style campground was nice, but for the price per night, a hot CLEAN shower should not be too much to ask. We have stayed at much nicer and cleaner campgrounds for less. Attempting to keep things clean and sanitized at all times should just be a given.||||We are hoping this review opens eyes and minds to the importance of cleanliness for those of us who aren't in a self contained unit and rely on the shower house and bathrooms. When a porta potty on premise is cleaner, that plainly shows neglect...
Read moreWe loved our stay at Baileys Woods. We stayed here from May-August 2012 and had a wonderful time there.
The facilities are clean and in good working order and the sites are wooded which makes them feel a lot more private & quiet than other campgrounds in Baileys Harbor. The shade also helped a LOT on some of the hotter days of the summer and since it's located on top of a hill there's usually a nice breeze. We rarely had to use our A/C for the summer.
The owners of this campground are wonderful, wonderful people. We felt right at home here! One of the owners, Paul, went out of his way to call all over the county when my bike was stolen from a local restaurant. I never asked him to do this, but after several phone calls, my bike turned up less than 2 weeks later.
As for the location, it's an easy car ride to anywhere on the peninsula and Baileys Harbor is on the "quiet" side of the peninsula which is nice for longer stays. We avoided much of the tourist traffic, etc that happens in other locations like Fish Creek.
We will come back here again and again and will recommend it to all of...
