Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids age 11 and 12) stayed on the East Loop for a few fall nights. We opted for the deluxe sites inside the loop rather than on the lake after reading reviews about the mosquitos.
The Good:
- The resort grounds are new with level concrete pads.
- Excellent WIFI connectivity pretty much everywhere.
- The staff are seen all day caring for the grounds. Hardly anything out of place.
- Stunning lakeside views.
The Annoying:
- It’s still under active construction. Impacted us mainly because it was happening right behind our site with concrete trucks were operating all day.
- Poorly secured electrical boxes with dangerous construction of stairs and decks (no railing in places, etc). This place is asking for a lawsuit.
- Drainage holes on the side of the road with no covers.
- No easy access to get a kayak/canoe in near our camp site on the east loop.
- The mosquitos. It’s camping on a lake in the south but our neighbors staying in the lakeside lots could hardly even be outside. They would swarm you on the docks, too.
The reason we won’t be back: Bill, the manager.
It’s really unfortunate but Bill doesn’t like kids. He would prefer the camp to be 55+.
Bill didn’t like kids playing on the “adult lounge swings”.
One afternoon I’m happily enjoying a game of cornhole with my mosquito escaping neighbors. Up walks Bill to inform me that my child and some other camp kids were abusing the playground equipment. What could have been a very civil conversation spiraled into Bill calling several adults names and threatening to kick us out of the camp. All because one of the kids was swinging too high for Bill’s liking.
It’s too bad Bill ruins the place. Heard it from multiple other families staying at the same time. Really nice spot and pleasant staff otherwise.
