Okay campground, very tight fit for large rigs, and a bit rundown

So this campground was a mixed bag for us. We enjoyed the activities, and the site itself was nice, but there were some definite issues. Positives: There are lots of things to do in the park, especially for kids, as many other reviews have discussed. The lots are large and nicely wooded with working full hookups and good water pressure. Negatives: Roads: We have a large 5th wheel RV, and we were assured that it would fit. It did- technically. We were within 2 inches or less of trees on 4 or 5 instances getting in and out of our site, and I had to drive off of the road on several occasions to make it through. We are used to a tight fit in RV parks, but this was over the top. They need to clear some of the roads if they are going to accommodate rigs over 40'. Activity equipment: So although there were tons of activities and playgrounds, unfortunately a lot of the equipment was run down or not working. The arcade only had a few games that actually still worked, and at least 2 of the playgrounds need to be torn down because they are in such bad shape. Permanent campers: It seemed like at least half of the sites were occupied by permanent or semi-permanent residents, as they had structures built around their rigs, lots of decorations, etc. In some cases, it looked like the rigs were owned by people who came in on the weekend, or stayed part-time, and most of those RV's were fine. However, there was a significant number of people who obviously lived in their run-down RV's, and those sites were invariably filled with junk and were poorly kept. Additionally, some of the"permanent" residents rode circuits around the park in their golf carts, and were very unfriendly towards us. Booking site: Online booking is not done through the park's website, instead you are directed to a 3rd party site that requires a separate account and is very difficult to navigate. It contained a few dead links and required the booking party to sign several online forms about campsite rules, but some of the required signature areas didn't actually contain any forms. You were just signing a blank area in the site with no associated info. The site then required some sort of approval process for the booking to be confirmed. I received an email that the approval was partially completed, and then never got anything else. I had to call the site to confirm my reservation went through. I also never received any kind of check-in info prior to arrival. We camped at Rip Van Winkle Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

Decent campground, very pushy and overbearing staff

So overall our 2 week stay at Lazy Acres wasn't all bad, but we definitely started on a bad note, and our treatment by the staff was unacceptable. My family and I live in our 44' 5th wheel full time, and we have a system for getting into and setting up at a site: My wife normally follows the staff member in her van and lets me know if there are any issues with clearance on the radio. We've run into multiple instances where we would have sustained damage or gotten into a bad spot if we didn't take that precaution. When my wife got ready to follow the staff person, he insisted that I follow him and she drive behind me, to the point that he refused us entry into the park unless we did it his way. We decided to try and be cooperative, and followed him as he directed. When we got to our site, he insisted on guiding me in. He absolutely would not let me pull in with my wife directing me. This is something that we are very particular about as we've had more than one experience with staff giving us bad directions and/or not knowing how to deal with a rig our size. We tried to explain this, but he refused to let us stay and refused a refund unless he was the one guiding me. His explanation was that he was responsible for any damage to the park so he had to be in control.(Which I don't think is correct at all, given how we carry vehicle and RV insurance.) We had already paid for 2 weeks in advance, so we agreed against our better judgement. The staff member ended up directing us into an awkward place in the site that made it difficult to level the rig, and he literally stood there at the front of the site watching us until we were unhooked and leveled, to be sure we didn't try and move our rig. Fast forward a few days… The weather forecast was calling for temperatures possibly going below freezing later in the week, so we got an email from the staff saying that we needed to disconnect if we weren't using a heated hose(which is totally fine). We were out the day when we got the email, and when we returned to the park that afternoon, we were given a rather rude letter at the camp office demanding that we disconnect on specific dates by 6pm, or else we would have our water disconnected and would be charged$10 for failing to disconnect. The letter was somewhat off-putting, but we shrugged and returned to our site, only to find another copy of the rude letter taped to the door of our rig! Over the next week or so, any time there was a chance of freezing weather in the forecast, staff members would drive around the park shortly after 6, checking everyone's hoses and knocking on doors of anyone still connected, telling them to disconnect. This is very disappointing, especially since there are some nice things about the park, like the new concrete pads, fire rings, fishing pond, and exploring trails. Unfortunately, for us the interaction with the staff member overbalanced any positive experiences we had, so we won't be returning.
