The lady at the office is grumpy every time I go. I was at my camp and her son was driving around the park and he stopped asking me if I had paid for my site which I had my receipt and had been there a couple days before he stopped and asked. He said his mom couldn’t remember me checking in. If she can’t remember things and has her son driving her around she shouldn’t be working at all. I was paid up for another day but packed up and left early. I called to leave a complaint, left a msg with my name and number for someone to return my call without any success. I like the lake and campground, but that incident make me second guess my stay there again.
