Thousand Trails Forest Lake

We stayed here for 3 weeks in December 2025 and left early. They have major water issues. The water went out twice due to a line break. Then at least another 2 times for repairs/maintenance. I get this happens, but our neighbor who has been staying there for 13 years said it’s been much worse over the last few years. Also, when calling in about it they said they can’t call 400 people to alert them. Really? You can send an email or a text in about 30 seconds if you have the proper system. And thousand trails has a reservation system so idk why they can’t email/text you prior to turning the water off or in the event of a line break. The laundry room is dirty and one of the washers was out of service. On a positive note they do accept packages, not first class mail though.

Campsites are mostly large. Being fairly level is a great advantage in motorhome sites. People we've met have been really nice and the staff has been very helpful

This thousand trails is a pretty good park. For its size I would expect a indoor pool with being open year round. They have a large space for events but nothing going on. It is quiet and can see the stars really well. Some sites are cement other rock that just turns to mud when it rains. Premium sites are just standard sites anywhere else. Staff seems nice.

I camp at this park alot since I'm a full time rving. It's clean in the cabins, the bathouses are spacious and clean. The spaces are very large and easy to get into. The people there are amazing!

Forest Lake is a beautiful setting. Has all of the space and most of the amenities people want. But poorly maintained. I asked for a level site for my 38’ motorhome. I ended up with an uphill entrance that ripped off my exhaust (which will cost $800 to replace). Some amenities are simply just falling apart. It appears that Thousand Trails does not provide enough resources or staff. Everyone was friendly and we did not use the bathhouses.
