Has good things ... has not so good things
We just completed our stay here at Curlew Pond. Long time listener first time camper here.
Pros:
1. All the sites are basically on the water. It's great. The Reserve America / DCR site map is wildly inaccurate (never experienced that before) and shows our site not at all near the water so it was a great surprise to be RIGHT on the water. I added a photo of an accurate map of the layout.
2. It was quiet, may be due to covid with less occupancy, but we were very pleased with how quiet it was … even with all the children enjoying themselves, it was very peaceful.
3. Bathrooms seem new and are clean and well maintained.
4. Showers also seem new and are private room showers.
5. Despite the upcoming cons, we had a nice time and would probably return.
Cons:
1. The showers are clean and private but, unless I am just inept, they seem to have one temp setting (push button operation) and that setting is scalding hot. Like for real, it steamed up the whole room almost instantly and it was too hot to actually use. I truly could not understand it. I left covered in steam and sweat - it was literally a steam room … in July. Not cute.
2. The sites are VERY close to each other with almost no privacy / trees to your left or right. Due to Covid, the sites on either side of us were empty but otherwise it would have been alarmingly close.
3. There seems to be only one water spigot for the whole camp site. You can get water from some the dish clean sinks though.
4. There was an ice cream truck that did rounds a few times a day. I'm not a monster who does not like ice cream but … the music took us our of the element a bit.
5. This is not exactly a con … more of an observation: They have a very rigid and not quick registration process. This may also be due to Covid but you might want to be prepared for that possibility.
