Every year we come here and absolutely love it. We hold NA meetings in various places and this year we held one in Layton Loop. It’s was a very busy time and sometimes waiting in the line to get in the campground was long. Upon my first arrival at the store we were greeted by a very friendly lady named Colleen. I saw her working the store some nights as well as being a Host in Layton Loop other times. She was kind and courteous to all of us coming into the meeting each day we were there. We all raved about her. She answered all our questions and helped us with parking. Her smile warmed my heart especially after some tough days while in recovery. We found everyone to be friendly except a girl with dreads working the store. She seemed dismissive like I was bothering her when I came into the store to buy something. I felt like I was interrupting her drawing or whatever she was working on. I didn’t bother to get her name. Another time, another lady slammed the window shut when we were approaching it after seeing us walk up. We felt like we were not wanted. After that, we minimized our trips to the store unless Colleen was there.
Layton Loop was very busy but well maintained. We found other campers to be rude by not following the rules like parking in our spots, blocking walking paths which made it difficult for us to carry stuff to our site, late night partying at 2am, being rude to the Camp Host doing her job, and trashing the bathrooms. We all were in recovery so we were being respectful but other campers behavior were disappointing. Colleen handled our complaints professionally and apologetically about nearby neighbors partying late hours of the night. We witnessed how she was treated at times
and were appalled by some campers poor behavior towards her. Colleen was very kind and never displayed anger or rudeness to any of us. Camp Hosts work hard to maintain the ground and do their best to help campers out. I think leaving a bad review for a company or person on social media comes from a bad place from someone.
We were happy with our stay and happy to return. We find peace at Anderson Cove and like being near the water to go fishing. We may just find a different time to go when it’s not so busy. We hope to see Colleen again and her beautiful smile.
