We rented two campsites and the shelter this past weekend. The campsites are large and very clean. The trees aren't mature yet, but it wasn't an issue for us. The shelter is very nice and overlooks Dakins Lake. The camp host was very responsive and helpful.
This campground is primarily seasonal and month-to-month campers and open year-round. Since it was not high season Ray let us bring our new rig in for a test run. He was very friendly and accommodating. The sites are small and where we were was mostly gravel, but we made it work. There are some sites along the river that have incredible views and river access. Obviously these weren't accessible considering the time of year we visited the campground, but we would like to visit Camp At The Woods again once the summer weather moves in.
We stayed 2 nights in site B5. It was a large back in site with plenty of room for our two very large dogs. The water wasn't turned on yet, but we were able to fill our fresh water tank with a hose from their laundromat. Each campsite has their own trash receptacle, which was great, but I wish the previous occupants had used it. I had to clean up exorbitant amounts of dog poop before I could even put our outdoor rug down. Then I spent the rest of the weekend picking up other dogs' poo all over our campsite so the campground staff didn't blame us for neglecting to clean up after our dogs. We would be willing to try the campground again, but would probably chose a site further from one of the main roads into Mystic Lake Casino. We heard a lot of traffic coming and going well into the wee hours of the night.
We had a fabulous experience at BJ's this weekend. Mark, Sheri and the staff are good people who work hard to make sure you have a great time. The food is excellent and comes out SO FAST; bravo to the kitchen staff! Bartenders are very attentive; Tasha took excellent care of us! The campsites are well kept and spacious. There are no picnic tables in the sites, but we got along just fine without. We can't wait to go back!
We just returned from our second visit at Champions. The staff makes you feel welcomed and the overall environment is just fun! We love Saturday bar bingo and the large sand bar.
