The campground was very nice but the camp hosts were ignorant and very hard to work with.

The camp hosts turned off the water and told us if we wanted to use it, to bring more money. We were there for 8 days. They constantly drove their golf cart around to monitor my family and I. There was a group to us there. We’ve been going to this campground for 45 years. Never had a problem with the water. There was no soap or towels to wash your hands with in the bathroom. But due to “social distancing” they closed one of the women’s bathrooms down, but failed to provide anything to clean your hands with.
It was a frustrating week with those hosts.

Camp hosts made it so spending time in the campground was hectic. They turned it the water, the wife of the host yelled at my sister and her kids.

There are about 30 of us that go camping every year. The past couple of years have been particularly hard with the camp hosts. This year to cook the cake as far as hardness and difficulty. The hosts made it miserable and I still can't get an email response back to try to rectify it.. I have been coming for 16 years and my wife's family has been coming 4 more than 40.
