What Guests Are Saying

Service at Nelson Point has faced criticism, with reports of infrequent trash collection, occurring only once in nine days. However, some guests appreciate the overall location and amenities. Improvements in service consistency could enhance the experience further.

We we constantly interrupted by strangers. People walking in to view the campground, one camper came in a camped overnight with his Jeep and trailer, one guy came down from the mountains and we had to call the police. Overall we had a good time. We enjoyed the grounds and the views. But the privacy isn’t what we thought.
