Pretty Bunk.....
Well not sure where to begin, but best place seems Reservation through DNR website. I made my Reservation with no issues, maps of campground looked great, and all seemed great upon booking. Plugged the address into IPhone that was on my Reservation and when I got there not only was the address not an address, but more a spot at end of triangle in road some 1/8 - 1/4 mile past one of what I learned later, many Park entrances.
I doubled back to entrance and checked in with girl at desk. I should’ve known when I wasn’t on her check in sheet and she had to go to computer to find me, I was screwed or about to be. She did in fact find me and now informed me that my campsite was another 5-7 miles away on a road she did not know the name of, but did provide me with a map?.?.?
I finally got to the Deep Lake Rustic portion of the Yankee Springs Rec Area and made my way to my campsite. Now in the past when you look at DNR website and pictures of campsites you are booking, the illustration in very accurate not only in scale but obstacles you may face in route to destination. The drawing for this portion of the campground very much made like it seem there were multiple sites at the Rustic area on or very close to the lake. This was far from the case. The lake was close, but the woods was not something you could cut through easily then if you do, no shore, no dock, no swimming?
To make matters worse, and maybe due to COVID, best looking sites were listed as booked when I looked yet sat empty a day and a half I was there????? Closest market too up the road from “actual” entrance has not restocked since COVID. Really sucks when you can get just an Iced Tea.....
DNR or Yankee Springs to blame on this I’m not sure, but needs to be fixed online and in person.
