Scenic View Campground — Hotel in Warren

My family will never stay in this campround again due to the victimization we endured during our recent trip. Despite our best intentions, the staff ostracized and targeted us because we did not interpret the rules the way they thought we should. When we questioned vague definitions of the policy the staff responded with intimidation and harassing actions directed towards our family. They continued to further censor any public outcry in regards to our experience. We were willing to look past the staff disregard of their own policy during our stay if they had at a minimum, treated us with the courtesy and respect we deserve. Since that did not happen I would encourage you to address the following violations we were subjected to during our recent visit. While our experience can not be changed, future patrons visits may be improved.

We witnessed staff driving at speeds exceeding posted limits inside the grounds even with kids present. At the playground the rules clearly stated the children are not to play at the playground after dark. With kids consistently unsupervised and screaming and yelling well after quiet hours on the playground, it became more apparent only certain rules were being enforced. When my family went to enjoy the pool, directly across from the office, we observed the rules clearly stating there is no jumping or diving. I thought it would be safe to be in the pool with a baby given the posted guidelines. I was wrong. I had to physically leave pool for the safety of my baby due to kids jumping repeatedly into the pool. I did not feel it was my responsibility to police other patrons. What frustration to witness no staff available to address this safety concern.

Examining the actual facility, I had various concerns. The showers were disgusting! While the river scene was beautiful, it was not safely accessible due to being covered in fallen trees. The lower level of the campground only offered porta potty’s, which seemed like a viable option for patrons. In this case it was disruptive throughout the entire night due to the slamming of the doors.

From our direct observations during this stay it became apparant that staff seemed to select which rules to enforce, when to enforce those certain rules, and against who to enforce the rules. The indiscriminate staff enforcement of policy poses a safety risk to all patrons, far more than any patron questioning a vague rule! I encourage you to step up to the plate and use this feedback to make a difference to all campers...

We checked in on a Friday and left Saturday evening due to impending weather that with current site conditions didn't make us feel safe. We stayed in the "tent sits / nature trail" area on our trip. I'll start at the beginning: When we arrived the site was not cleaned, our fire place was 1 inch from full of coals and the site was not level. After our set up of our belongings we decided to walk the nature trail and check things out. We found that there was damage from a previous storm to the trail and river banks. The river bank erosion caused a group of birch trees to start up rooting and they were leaning directly at the tent sites? Guest walk there dogs down the trail and most don't clean up afterwords leaving a lovely smell at our site. Free wifi, worked great IF you were part of the main camp ground, the amenities were clean, but needed repairs. Men's bathroom had loose toilets. Play structure my daughter told me had a hornet's nest in it and in multiple spots the pools liner was not attached. The camp store is WAY over priced and the available wood is green but you can buy kindling for $6 on top of the $5 camp wood to assist in lighting. If we had chose a different site our opinion may have changed but we didn't want to be in a field while camping. The positive, staff was nice do offer events on weekend nights. This camp ground wasn't for us and wont be returning. When we checked out at 10:30, I told the gentleman that we couldn't take the chance of "severe weather warnings" with the trees lingering over our site he looked at me as if he had no clue they were there. Honestly I believe the "blueberry, BlackBerry, poplar" sites should be closed until they get the amediate danger trees taken care of. Sorry couldn't leave a...

We recently stayed at the Scenic View Campground for the first time. When we arrived, the check in process was very quick due to doing our pre-check in. The woman who did the check in was very polite and friendly. |We got to our site very quickly, and was happy with where it was located. The only slight downfall was that the electrical and sewer were at the end of the site and our hook ups for those are in the middle of our camper. That made for a little bit of a tricky release of black and gray tanks. Overall, our site had plenty of room for 31 foot camper, picnic table and chairs around the fire. We did not feel like we were scrunched in between campers like other campgrounds we have been to. We had the river right behind us, which was an added bonus. |We took a walk around the campground and it was very well kept and clean. All the sites are about the same in spacing and size. The bathrooms and showers were well kept while we were there. We also went in the pool on our first day and it was amazingly warm! I was told they keep it at around 83°. |Surrounding area: We did go to the local general store, which is called AppleKnockers. It is plenty big with all of your immediate needs that you may have. It is only about three minutes down the road. They had everything from breakfast sandwiches to camping supplies to toys and games for kids.|Overall,|This was a great family Campground. We recommend it for anyone wanting to get away for a few days and enjoy a small campground. They have everything that you may want while relaxing...
