Lisa BillupsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I tented here at this campground for 3 nights with my 13yo daughter and my 5 yo Lab. The atmosphere is tranquil and serene!! Upon arrival, Mr. Ernie escorted us to our tent area and explained the area surrounding us. T1 is a humangous spot and by far, the best site I ever got for tenting ❤️. We had a 10x20 canopy with a tent, and my truck and there was still like an acre left to tent -- lol We even got a packet loaded with maps and activities to do in the area. That was much appreciated 🥰 The campground is extremely clean. Everyone that works here is so friendly! Ms. Trina and Mr. Ernie were so nice and full of information! . There is not a lot to do on the campground itself, but tons to do off the campground. The campground is set up for RV's mainly. The Tent sites are in the back of the property, which I appreciated and didn't mind that one bit! It was not a big deal until you have to use the restrooms. This was a HUGE INCONVENIENCE! Every time we had to use the bathroom, we had to drive because it's not close. If you drive through the RV park @ 5 mph to go to the bathroom, it takes approximately 6 mins by car. If you walk on the path out towards the back road, it's about a 10 min walk 🙁 so not close at all. This would be the one and only reason that I do not go back to this campground 🙁 On the other hand, this campground had the CLEANEST BATHHOUSE with air conditioning, that I have ever seen in a campground 🥰 and a reason I'd want to go back (if they address the bathroom distance) The gentleman in charge of cleaning the bathrooms (SAM) definitely takes pride in his job. I was blown away at how well kept the bathhouse was at all times 😁 They have a little store with basic stuff, nice souvenirs and what have you. I did need some ketchup and the store didn't have any, but the gentleman working behind the counter searched high and low and found me some ketchup packets (saving the day for my daughter) 🥰 The staff will go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. I felt very welcomed and at home here ❤️ Overall, a great place to camp. We had fun, other than the bathroom situation. It was great weather the entire time. Wonderful area surrounding the campground with tons of activities to do outside the campground! jen novakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not say enough good things about the campground. My husband had physical therapy 3 days a week and we didn’t want to travel for 4 hours everyday from our home. The staff was so accommodating even when we had to book the site for longer. On our original booking day we were told “welcome to the family” and let me say that was the truth. We found this gem just by chance and it has turned into a campground we will definitely return to every summer. There is no pool but they have Prince Galitzan State Park that has a beautiful lake that is better than a pool. Laura WhitefordTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came for a vendor event as a vendor. The staff was so friendly and helpful! The sites are clean and spacious. The bathrooms are so nice and air conditioned. There are lots of activities and it is right next to Glandale Lake. Great place all around! As far as organization for the event, it was spectacular. They gave us a packet with copies of our vendor forms and check. They also had someone waiting for us at the entrance. My spot was so nice, under a tree and out of the sun. I cannot wait to go back! Marilyn HollenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ted was great at hooking up our new hot water tank. The tent area is always kept beautiful. He goes above and beyond to make sure our camping experiance in perfect and thst he does without cplsints. He is great,THANK YOU TED Brittni HarveyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed the week of the 4th of July so it was very busy. The staff and volunteers were all so welcoming. Ruth, Mary, Trina, Gio, Dan, Rick, Ernie and several others were always around if anything was needed. We were tent camping with several kids and really appreciated the safety patrol volunteers that ran around the campground at all hours. The new Gaga Pit and Playground set was a huge hit with the kids! The bath house was always clean as well and so was the laundry room. It would have been nice to have a bathroom a bit closer to the tent area but it was not that far of a walk! Quick drive to Prince Glitzen and Crooked Run beach/water access as well! Gwen SeilerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trina has been very helpful with a million questions about seasonal and yearly lot prices and availability. Ernie is very friendly and helpful when taking you to your site and helping get camper in exact location for hook ups. We had a very peaceful, quiet, relaxing stay and will definitely be returning Francisco HernandezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came on the 4th of July weekend, park is very busy and extremely quiet, Ernie one of the workers go far and beyond, all staff very friendly and constant rounds and check outs to be sure everyone is comfortable and ok, Manager Trina on her first anniversary as manager is great and on top of things to take care of the park and guests. We had a great time and will be back. Chief DispatchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A nice quiet campground with plenty of room to maneuver a large fifth wheel. Staff was extremely helpful, very polite and professional. Have to shout out Ernie who went to his house and got us some much needed supplies that wasn’t available at the store. He also checked in on us on his day off to make sure we were getting along ok. Grant’s Property servicesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clean campground great to work with.
