I booked two nights at the ‘French Quarter’ campsite here, and after visiting the premises, I decided to stay elsewhere. The reviews on here state how well taken care of they felt by the hosts, as well as all of the additional accommodations that they provided for their stay.
When I arrived, there was half a jug of water (not sure if it was potable or not? It wasn’t labeled) and two compost toilets, one of which wasn’t set up, so I was unsure why it was in the space.
The road down to the campsites could be maintained a little better, and pulling in/out of the spaces was a little tricky. The campsite itself felt clean enough, but not maintained.
I didn’t receive any info from the hosts other than the confirmation email, so I wasn’t sure what the check-in/out process was either. There is no cell service at this campground, which wasn’t mentioned on the website either, so in order to contact the hosts, you have to go elsewhere to get the service to. There was no one else on the premises at all, which made me feel uneasy. I didn’t know where I could/could not explore.
All in all, my reservation was non-refundable, and I reached out to the hosts to inform them that I wouldn’t be staying, and I didn’t hear back from them at all. I don’t know if the ownership changed, or that there was something else going on with the hosts, but this was certainly not the experience I was hoping for after reading all of the other rave reviews. Coming away from this experience, I definitely feel scammed :(
