Campground Review from Julie

From , former About.com Guide

I found out about this campground on the Internet, and I camped there in June 2007.

Describe your camping trip:

The campground is OK. The lake is awesome. The owner of the campground is extremely rude. He tried to rip us off by keeping our deposit on a watercraft we rented, because the watercraft ran out of gas. He actually threw our credit card at my husband, because he was angry that we insisted he give our deposit back.
Pros: Nice lake, but there are other nice camp spots all over the lake.

Cons: Super unfriendly and rude owners.

Further comments:

Until Lake DuBay Shores is under new ownership, we will never visit the campground again and just hope to prevent any others from such a bad, rude experience. After speaking with other campers, even seasonals, the current manasgers have a reputation of being rude to their visitors and seasonals. Camp elsewhere.

The worst campground I have ever been, Member zsalcedo

I want to take the time to document my terrible experience at this place to warn others of going, sorry for the long message, but all this happened in just 2 days! 1. We arrive at our site on Labor Day weekend and it was partially occupied by the next neighbors. We needed to move and PAY $5 extra per night - was labor Day, our options were limited 2. I was attacked by several bees, This is true, I could count 13 bee stings after the fact. My husband drove me in a terrible rush close to the lake so I dive in and get rid of the bees. 1 minute after arriving the people from the campground asked him to move the car, they never offered help. Seriously? He was park maximum 5 mins and they never offered any help! 3. Our campsite had dog waste that had been there for long time... No more to say 4. We found firewood on another empty campsite, like we always do, we brought it our place and were burning it. The owner - the rudest person you will ever find came to us and told us we were stealing wood! We were not, there was still more on the campsite. He alleged we brought him from outside, my husband showed him the place, we did not. I told him I knew about the law about not carrying wood, he said: ""I don't care about the law"" he pushed my husband to get the wood. We asked them to leave our place and to let us enjoy our time. This was 1 hr discussion at least that ruined my starry night. Hope you find this review useful.
