Have been going here for 3 years going on year 4 and never had a problem with the old owners. Was always a nice and quiet place. The new owners when we got there were friendly. We got there on a Friday and was told that they were having a party that Saturday at the Pavilion. The party started around 12 in the afternoon and ended around 930ish at night so we were unable to have a Fire that night because it was loud. Sunday through Wednesday was fine and we had no problem. But our last night there they rented out the Pavilion to 20 people plus had other cabins rented out And had tents between another cabin and the bathroom. When we went out the people were loud and obnoxious and we’re letting their kids run around and good thing we didn’t have a fire going on because the kids were running into our fire pit. Also they had their tent right next to our fire pit So we couldn’t even have a fire on our last night there we Called the owners to say something and all they did was tell them to move the tent. But to make matters worse when the owner came to tell them to move their tent the owner pointed over to us and said we complained so every time we came out the group was staring at us. As we were coming in with our dinner since we couldn’t cook anything on the fire pit the owner Donnie stopped us and was really arrogant towards us. We will not be coming back because they are basically only worried about making money and aren’t really worried about their customers experiences. Also with COVID going on I think they had way to many people there and all they had were 5 bathrooms. 2 men’s, 2 women’s and 1...
Read moreReached out - via text! - on a Wednesday for weekend availability for a cabin, and was pleased to hear they were available.
I arrived to the area in the night, and it was a little nerve-wracking on the gravel road in the dark, but not a "I need to turn around" situation.
But arriving in the dark, I woke up to the beautiful view over the river! We stayed in the Laurel Cabin, last cabin on the lane, and it was goregous. Saw an eagle, osprey, some comorants, some kingfishers, and heard owls at night.
Overall the campground was quiet. But was early in the season and still cold. So I'm sure it's busier later in the year.
If you come to fish, bring a heavier lure - most of the fish are on the other, deeper, side of the river.
It got down to about 30° on our nights, and the space heater in the cabin warmed the interior to about 50° - so pack extra layers & blankets in the event the weather calls for cold.
Food in the area - we ate at Jean Bonnet, Kountry Kettle: I recommend them both!!
Absolutely can't wait to stay again, bring the kayaks, and find a...
Read moreMy husband and I stayed in the large cabin three times in the past year with our grandson along with his parents, as well. The cabin has plenty of space for sleeping, eating and cooking. There are two refrigerators, running water in the sink, hot plate, toaster, microwave, coffee pot, with cups glasses flatware and dishes. There is air conditioning and heat and fans. There is also paper towels and dish detergent provided. The large cabin is right next-door to the bathhouse which is extremely convenient. The bathhouse has running water, paper towels, toilet oowe and soap, and modern toilets and showers. The cabin is located on the water, which is nice for your morning coffee while sitting on he swing or bench or folding chairs provided by the owners, Craig and Linda. |The road is nice for walking or biking. The family also enjoys fishing there. There is firewood there for 10$ a wheelbarrow. We will be staying there...
