Durham Leisure Campground

Please look elsewhere before considering this campground. The owners are completely unreasonable and rude. You couldn’t pay me to stay there, every 1 star review on here is completely justified.

Owner trying to give me attitude for doing my job. No one should ever camp there with such a guy owning it. Edit: of course the owner will lie in their response there was no clearly marked spot and nothing in the instructions. I had already dropped the package and the map pin when the guy comes up giving me massive attitude and I didn't speed so that's another lie. Honestly I wouldn't even trust this guy around kids no telling what he'll do and then lie about next.

It’s just a money grab. Don’t waste your time.
I paid monthly for site 19.
They overcharged on electricity when i showed up and kept my taxes/deposit when we had to leave due to lack of water.
I asked for some compensation due to lack of water. Owner laughed and said “you can find somewhere else to go”.
Neither of the owners will respect you if you’re self sufficient.
They do not like traveling nurses!

At first, they are super nice. But once they start to suspect that you are "different" the campground owners will begin to treat you differently. I was there for 1 winter season and the spring and summer, so, less than one year. Other campers had been there MUCH longer. I intended to stay 2 or 3 more seasons, and upgraded my camper. But because I was pregnant and single, they started to harass me and forced me to leave, months before I was ready to purchase land for my camper home. This forced me to lose several thousand dollars doing a short sale and finding any home I could, 7 months pregnant, scared and stressed. All I wanted was a peaceful postpartum experience in nature where my dog could enjoy the outdoors. My family dynamic was none of their business. I wasn't planning on staying that much longer. Especially after discovering the incredibly creepy library full of cultush religious material. Nice pool though. Great spot to visit very briefly but don't stay more than one season unless you're related to them or you're a Christian.

Great place to stay if you want peace and quiet. They were very accommodating to our day of request to stay the weekend. It is not a big campground but it is very well taken care of. The bathrooms & showers look new and were very clean. The people we came across while there were very friendly as well. I would definitely come back.
