Last Resort Campground

At check in, the woman on duty was less then friendly, seemed bothered that she had to stop looking at her tablet to check us in. Our site was next to the office and outdoor wood stove and there was wood spread out on to our camp site. The water had a foul odor that nearly makes you sick to smell. It was very quiet, lots of guests but very few were out of their campers for the two nights we stayed.

This place has good bones. I am told that it is under new management now, for the last 3 months. From outward appearance, it may be an absentee owner, but I think not. The camp streets are overhung with low branches. The main/only west-facing street directional advertising sign is not visible from eastbound 30. Within the campground, the directional signage pointing a first-time visitor to the office is nearly unreadable. Once registered for our campsite, I needed to leave the campground, go aways down the road, and turn around, then reenter before I could be on the correct camp road to get to our campsite. These issues are all fixable and would have been the first by me if I were the new owner.

Due to the abundance of positive reviews, I decided to book this campsite for my girlfriend and me and it was extremely disappointing. The positive reviews must be from people with RVs because I cannot see anyone who goes tent camping here having a positive experience. Our tent site was clearly an afterthought. A tiny spot pushed up against an RV with no picnic table or designated spot for our car. It was neither quiet nor secluded as advertised. It is right next to a very busy highway and the other residents stay up late, talking loudly (I don’t mind the talking, it’s nice to hear people having a good time, but it’s not quiet. People next to us were up past 2:30am and I could hear their full conversation.) and riding their golf carts around. The bathrooms were disgusting, everything was rusty and I came out of the shower smelling like rust/iron. All 3 of the women’s toilets were dirty and one had feces on the seat. Not that this is the campground’s fault, but it is clear that accommodations for tent campers are not a priority. We only stayed for a night and could not leave fast enough. Extremely overpriced for a campsite that is this dirty and unpleasant. They also charged us 50 for a tent site when the listed rate online is 35 so beware of that. Definitely would never come back here.

It is beyond me how this place has a 4.6 rating. When we stayed there it had rained and the miniscule patio side space we had was flooded. The pool was green, none of the advertised arcade games worked, the sites were tiny, even for the other family members that met us there in their pop up camper. We paid for 2 nights and left after one. All the positive reviews must have been left by the seasonal campers that stay there.

If you're not having fun here, you might just be dead. Best campground get togethers we've ever been to. Beautiful lake and open field, playground and basketball court, a live band and an incredible fireworks show that was ranked up there with some of the big cities we've been to. It's owned by a couple of pretty laid back marines who have turned it into just a cool place to hang out.

Edit: No longer Veteran owned.....New owners dont do activities, nothing that was advertised during our stay actually happened. Disappointed. It used to be fun. Getting ready to pack up from our 4th stay at this very friendly campground! Always a good time! Considering a seasonal site next year! Curt and Cori make you feel like family when you stay here ! Thanks for the fun! See you in the spring!
