Wheelock Lake Campground

Not like anyplace we have ever camped before. We had a corner site which was awful. The amount of golf carts,atv, razors and a dirt bike is ridiculous with everyone driving no matter what the age or alcohol consumption. At night is even more fun, all vehicles come out in force in 1 hour we had 40 drive by our site, and it lasts until at least 1:15am. Let's not forget the fireworks in the campground, with everyone so close I can't believe a trailer didn't catch on fire. There is very few site markers and the office closes at 6pm even on a holiday weekend. No gates. No security. No Internet and yes it was advertised I even tried to get it on my phone figuring it was our Firestick and no luck. The staff when I did see them were really nice. Unfortunately we also had no picnic table and the fire ring that we are not supposed to move was in-between the electric and water spigot. We did try to contact the night we came in thru email and no response to that either.

We were fired-up about getting a spot next to the lake. Then we read each of us would need to pass a background check. They wanted US to pay for it! All for the privilege of paying them $3000.00 for the site. We read the reviews, seems like the ones already there need a background check. We drove down to look at the sites. There were three in a row. They were so small you would have problems getting the camper in place and you'd have neighbors so close you could hear them snore. We read that people ride ATVs all night long, so not so peaceful.

This is our third season at Wheelock. It's my happy place. A place to kick back and relax, pop open a beer and forget the long work week kinda place.

We loved it here. Had amazing views from our spot. Basketball court, dog park, volleyball, fishing. Fun trails. We will definitely be back!

Kathryn and maylassia were so helpful and friendly and very patient they knew the campground very well and I will be back !
