You need to mow the grass more often. The last time I was there a few weeks ago the grass was halfway to my knees. I was very disappointed. You need to figure out a way to have better Internet service. And put lights up at the playground.

It’s a nice place, but you need a light for the playground. Also you seriously need to do something about the Wi-fi.

Park host is very unfriendly and unreasonable. My friends and I visit Longbranch annually. We have encountered the same host each year. The host always spoils what would otherwise be an enjoyable experience. This year was no different...
I am 66 years old and have an America The Beautiful Lifetime Pass. I have used my pass numerous times at various locations across the southeast. My card information is listed on the Recreation.gov site (where I make my reservations) and has been used every time without issue. However, this time was different. The host (Mr. Wilkinson) became rude when he could not read my signature on the back of my card. He treated me and my wife like we were criminals trying to cheat the system by using a fraudulent card. He claimed that without my name on the back of the card, it was illegal for him to accept it. He then gave me a pen and told me to print my name over my signature. He then continued to quiz me as if I were a criminal,
Naturally, I am hoping you can fix this problem for everyone's benefit.

Long Branch is our FAVORITE campground! The hosts, Ken and his wife, and the volunteer hosts, Babs and her husband, have become great friends of our camping crew! We’ll be there at least two more times this year!!! We love everything about the campground, just wish every campsite had the metal picnic tables and a fish cleaning station! We also wish we could get better cell service.
