Snow Lake Kampground

First I want to say the campground itself is awesome great place for the kids and adults alike. I loved the water balloon war area that was a blast but the service at check-in in anytime we were in the store. They were very rude and unfriendly we did not feel very welcome. And were a bit uncomfortable.Also cost me $140 for 2 nights in a pop up for 3 adults and a 4 yr old a bit much.

Camp sites are very narrow and close together. Management discourages visitors by charging $12 per visitor. Also you had to declare at the time of registration whether you were going to have visitors and you had to pay for them at that time. If you didn't declare the visitors at the time of registration, the Management would not allow them on site.
This prevented my family stopping by for an afternoon. Additionally, they use a paper wrist band for admission to the pool area. If you remove the wrist band, they will not issue you a new one.

Two months ago, our family decided to come back to Snow Lake Campground where we use to take our kids, 15 years ago. We were very excited about sharing this place with their kids (our grandkids.) When we made the reservations for the park models, we were not sure which kids were coming yet. When we arrived, my reservation was for 4. We weren't sure if my 10 yr old neice's were sleeping in our cabin or not so I left it at 4. I went to check out the park model. I came back to the office an hour later to ask my questions. When I asked the office employees if my nieces could come to our cabin, she said that's fine. Then she asked how many people my sister-n-law had, I said 8. The office lady said well, she is going to have to tell someone they have to stay home because she cannot have more then 7 (website says 8). I asked if we could move my niece to my cabin since we are unsure where she wanted to stay. She said "no, you already signed your paperwork". I can understand them wanting to know the count of people per park model but what was the big deal on switching the count only 1 hour after my reservation. None of these rules are on the website, neither is paying "extra" for people last 6. We made it work. Website says you can have up to 8.. We didn't want to deal with the not-so-friendly older lady in the office so we just paid the extra money.

The cabin size was nice. No dish towels or sponges so bring your own. We did find a sheet on the pull out sofa so not sure when it was cleaned last.

Lots of activities for the kids. Seasonal\Permanent residents seemed very welcoming. The kids had fun, although we had to go to the office again and explain we provided the incorrect count of ages of kids\adults because they refuse to give us wristbands for all 7 people in the park model.

We went to leave Sunday morning an realized, they never gave us check-out instructions. There was no key drop and the office was closed. Had to go back to the cabin to give the key to another family member so we could head out.

This a campground for people with tents, pop up campers, pull behind trailers and even destination campers for those who want to camp for the season. On addition, there are cabins and double wide places to rent if you are so inclined. Weekends have planned activities for all ages of campers. There are a lot of rules but for me, that's what makes it a nice family place.

There are lots of great things to say about this campground. We loved all the fun activities for kids- pool, playground, giant Battleship and Chess, shuffle board, mini golf, water wars, checkers, duck derby, fishing pond. The roads were safe for the kids to ride their bikes all around the campground. We also loved that everything was affordable- from the laundry room ($1.75 wash/ $1.00 dry) to the camp store, and all the outdoor games are free to use (you just have to checkout all the game pieces at the camp store). There are activities every weekend. There was a petting zoo with horseback rides and a live band when we went. The staff were all very friendly, as were most of the other campers and seasonal who live there. We were disappointed in the set up of our actual campsite. The sewers were so close to other campers. Kind of gross watching your neighbor’s bathroom waste flowing right next to your picnic table. There could have been more thought put into the layout and spacing of the campsites. There were also tons of flies and mosquitos. If you’re traveling in the summer, bring lots of bug repellent. The arcade game room could have been a nice feature, but it smelled awful in there. The showers could also use updating. The faucets are the ones where you have to keep pushing the button to get water flow. Makes it a bit hard to shower when the water shuts off every 15 seconds. They do have a gym, but it’s only accessible during the office hours because you need a key to get in. It wasn’t really worth it because all the equipment is old or broken. The cardio machines are actually unsafe to use. There were cobwebs and dust covering everything in there. It would be a great amenity to have if they updated the equipment. We also had an unpleasant experience with a couple of season residents who yelled at our kids in the pool and kept watching them. Overall, it was a nice campground with lots of family friendly activities. Great for a short camping trip with the kids.
