You couldn’t pay me to stay again

My wife and I have been living in our camper for a few years staying at upwards of around 20 different RV parks from coast to coast. Lake Sawyer RV resort has placed #1 on the worst parks we’ve encountered list. There’s actually no other parks in it’s class!

The manager is running the place in such a shady manner that one of the front desk ladies told me even she doesn’t agree with their business practices. It was a nightmare right out of the gate but luckily I have a backbone and don’t let people dig into my wallet or jerk me around so they figured out the hard way you can’t steal from everybody.

Watch for them to drag their feet on your long stay application so they can charge you a ridiculous nightly rate for their “deluxe site” which had broken electrical receptacles and cracked water pipes.

As soon as they do approve you, they’ll ask you to move to a different site. If you confront them about why they would put you in a daily site when they knew your intentions were to stay long term their excuse will be, “there was a mix up between different departments”. Departments 😂 it’s just 3 ladies working there!

They also tried to start my time the day before I got there and will write down your CC info without your consent.

They are one of the only rv parks in the greater Seattle area with vacancy and now you know why.

Buyer Beware

They require you to cancel 7 days prior to your trip. If you do not, they take your money and offer no refund. Not even hotels do this. I had a situation where my daughter wasn't going to go to her softball tournament(which was the reason I was staying at the campground). The team had to back out 3 days prior. I only made the reservation 4 days ago, tried to cancel, was informed they wouldn't give me my$ back. Basically, since I made the reservation 4 days prior to the trip, with their horrible policy, I couldn't EVER cancel and get my$ back. Customer service doesn't matter to these people. It's all about taking your$. I would recommend finding another place to camp. This was in Late September so not even peak season. We camped at Lake Sawyer RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.

Not a campground

We were squished into a very small spot next to residents. Everyone was in bed by 5!!! The customer service was average.

Incredible Lake Beauty

If you can look past the rundown bathrooms and strict rules about dogs and everything else you’re doing then you can appreciate the beauty of Lake Sawyer every morning. I’m giving this a 5 star simply because it’s close enough to get shopping and things done if you need to but the natural setting of the lake is epic. Misty mornings and gorgeous sunsets. Loved our spot right next to the lake.
