Camp 28 — Restaurant in Rib Lake

Don't waste your money or time at Camp 28. What this place earns for "location" or "view", it LACKS for cleanliness, food quality, bar service, furnishings, TV service -you name it - THEY haven't got it! Bathroom floor was not clean nor was room floor vacuumed prior to our arrival. Shower curtain rod had chipped paint / coating on it. Beds were definitely hard as a rock. Pillows were "cardboard thin" and only two per queen bed so you couldn't even layer them. Doubled over, like sleeping on a rock. WiFi service went out on Saturday (check-in day), so we couldn't even pay our bill. Went to the event we were there for and came back to office to pay our room bill at about 9:30 pm to find it and the bar locked up for the night. WiFi was now "working" so we could pay the bill, however we were informed that we could not flush the toilets, were to use minimal water, and take no showers. WHY?- -Their sewage pump had broken down and they" couldn't find anyone to work on it over the weekend. On top of all that, the FLIES in the "Saloon" were abundant, annoying, and HUNGRY! Additionally, they were understaffed for a Saturday afternoon with a wedding or two in town and bowhunters in the area. Had to clean our own tables in the bar area. Nobody around to ask for a wet bar rag to wash the dried ketchup off the tables. They have CABLE TV in the rooms = maybe 10 channels, but they have DISH network = multitude of channels in the "Saloon". This place wouldn't even earn "half a...

We enjoyed ordering specific food here until they made a big jump in their prices. The food is not worth what they charge now, the pizza is bland, and not very flavorful. So we had already decided not to order it again after ordering it twice. We enjoyed the large order of cheese curds often, wings and specific sandwiches, until the massive price hike. We get more of the same food for a much cheaper bill (and better quality) from a bar and grill in Medford. Really is a shame they spiked their prices as much as they did, 30% or more! If you want more bang for your buck in not just quantity but also flavor and quality, just go to Medford. So disappointed in Camp 28. Their price, location and some good food were great, but now they've lost us as costumers indefinitely. There is also a older woman who works as a server, we hadn't tipped her the last couple of times, she swore in front of our children, and at least 3 times had told us we couldn't order the large cheese curds without the jalapeño curds. We had ordered it multiple times without the jalapeño. She could not keep up with her small amount of tables. We stopped tipping her specifically because she does not do well at her job.

Be aware that the rooms are not wheelchair accessible, along with their back...

I arrived when I said I would (5 PM) but there was no one there to get me the room. I called the after-hours number but no one answered so I left a voicemail. Some people doing work in the area were staying there, and they gave me a phone number for the owner but no one answered. I tried the after-hours number a few more times over the course of 40 minutes, and someone finally answered. He said his on-call person was AWOL but someone would be there in 10 minutes. They arrived after I waited a total of 50 minutes and he set me up with a room. It would have been nice if he would have offered me a slight discount for the inconvenience, but that didn't happen.

The room was clean and the shower was spectacular. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were flat and very uncomfortable. Some traffic noise but overall pretty quiet.

Part of the reason I chose this place was the restaurant, but it was closed that day so I drove to a different restaurant in town.

Overall this place did not meet my expectations, but if they get their shit together I would consider staying again...
