Several things went wrong during our stay, but most of that wasn't the fault of the "Lodge." So, this place has several things going on. It can't seem to decide if it's a bar, motel, or RV park. You check-in at the bar. They give you a hand drawn map that is not overly accurate. It immediately sent us the wrong way, which wasn't a big deal because it was a loop so we came back around, but the driveway was so steep that we dragged the hitch of the fifth wheel getting back on the main road. Then, when we got to our site, there were absolutely no markings. We arrived maybe an hour after sunset, but we still didn't see any site markers in the morning. It took me longer to back into this site than any other site we've been in, but that was probably just a combination of things and not necessarily the park's layout. I've gotten into spots in much tighter situations with much more ease, so I'm going to say this one is on me.
Two of us stepped in dog poop, three of us got stung by yellow jackets trying to go down to the water, but I don't imagine that was neglect by management. Just sucked for us.
Water and sewer hookups were fine. The electric (this was supposed to be a full hookup site) was a box with only a 30 amp outlet and no breakers. The box was on a post, but on the ground making it hard to connect even my dogbone adapter.
The laundry was closed (common amid Covid), but when we checked in we asked where it was and the lady told us, but didn't mention it was closed, so imagine our disappointment.
All in all... just OK. We needed a place to recharge, refill, and dump and this fit the bill. Not my favorite place, though.
