I have camped here for over 22 years, and I RV camped there in May 2008.

Describe your camping trip:

Campground is huge with work and improvements going on constantly.
Pros: It's not that far away from home, just long enough for a weekend trip.

Cons: They are out for the almighty dollar. We camped over 2008 Memorial Day Weekend. When I went to make reservations for the same weekend in 2009 the price doubled. I understand that businesses need to make a profit, but a jump of just over 100% is quite hard to swallow. I went to the office the next day to cancel my reservation and was charged a $25 service fee. It was worth the fee. We will not be going back.
Nearby attractions:
Further comments: Staff was rude, bathrooms were not stocked (no paper towels, soap dispensers not refilled). Being a holiday weekend you would think that they would have been up to speed. Front pool never was open during the weekend, and the water slide was not open either.

"Staying at Drummer Boy was one of the worst experiences in our camping history. We have a 27 foot (no slides) camper. We were placed on site #18. One side of our camper was inches from a tree and on the other side we didn't have enough room (due to another tree) to put up our awning. When we inquired about obtaining another site, the staff was rude and arrogant."
