    We have been coming with family for many years but the campground is definitely different this year the couple times we went. They apparently have new owners and they clearly don't care as much about the customers experience. I heard it's a corporation, so maybe that shouldn't be a surprise. But their fun events were all cancelled or much smaller. Their store had nothing in it the first time we went, and the second time we went they still didn't have as much as they used to. The bathrooms didn't even have toilet paper. The paddleboats are gone. The new people in the office didn't know what they were doing and I was told to come back later when other people were in there to answer my simple questions. They were nice, but not helpful. I also noticed they were also ignoring the phone calls, which made sense because I had a lot of difficulty reaching them before our stay to finish paying. I guess they also have a lot of theft and vandalism now that the old owner isn't always walking around in his cowboy hat, because someone made an announcement at bingo about it so we were worried about leaving our site unattended for the rest of our stay. That might also be why there was so much late night noise all weekend that no one took care of. The pool and the mini-golf were still fun, but I think we'll skip our annual stays next summer and hope the new owners figure everything out before we come back again because this year was a big disappointment for us and the kids. I really hope the campground we loved comes back soon.

    This campground was a great place to be until it was sold to Blue Water Development, a commercialized chain of “luxury RV resorts” which with a quick google search you’ll notice is far from luxury. The electricity is poorly managed with frequent power outages and sky high costs to seasonal campers. Add that to the propane costs that come monthly even when the tank in unused and remains closed at all times, and the yearly increase on rates and goods in the store. The events are poorly managed and often times lacking the supplies to accommodate which only hurts the kids when they find out their favorite event has been canceled or ended early. There are thief’s that like to cut light bulbs from camp sites which management has done nothing to assist with a solution or catch the person. They have a “park ranger” who is also a seasonal, that enjoys the powertrip, and his beer throughout the day, to then work his shift intoxicated with multiple sources to prove with photo and video evidence, yet management is silent. Conflict of interest much? The playground is in dire need of repairs or updates with soft boards and exposed nails, the game room has been shut down, the basketball court has a deteriorating retaining wall supporting it, and the front deck of the main building is sinking into the ground on cinder blocks causing a very uneven and unsafe environment. The gazebo could use some work but with a new coat of paint, all problems are hidden, right? The pools coping (aluminum) is deteriorating and has rot holes which are very sharp and has been problematic. It used to be great. Management was on top of things, events were fulfilling and joyous, prices were lower, and voices were heard. Now, there’s1 side of every story and the new manager has the audacity to lie straight to your face, as well as the “ranger”. At the end of they day, I would suggest staying elsewhere. But after being a regular for 8 years, what do I know, right?

    This was our second year here. We noticed something was off as soon as we arrived and the store was bare bones. I had a feeling there was something going on with ownership. Throughout our stay the pool wasn't opened when it should have been, and on "Christmas in July weekend" the holiday hayride was way more low key than last year (no music, no lights on the trailer)... The new GM was great to us by opening laser tag when they were too short staffed to have it open all day. That was great, however, if a camp is advertised to have services that the returning campers look forward to, there needs to be more of an effort to have those services available. Paddle boats are always closed, etc. Come to find out, there was a change in ownership June 1, 2022. I have previously highly recommended this campground, but based on our last visit, we will not be returning here in the future.

    We were happy to find this place four years ago. We started off with a weekend here and there, then did their spring and fall fling packages. We became seasonals last year. It was family owned. The owner could be seen riding around and greeting and helping campers. He knew just about everyone's names that frequented the campground. They had themed weekend activities for children as well as families. The employees were always happy and helpful. Even during the pandemic, they seemed to have a handle on managing the campground through it. Flash forward to this year. The campground was bought out by a corporation. We immediately felt the difference. We noticed the themed activities were not the same, if any at all. Some of the employees left. They hired a guy that is a seasonal up the hill from us to become a "park ranger"?? Who rides around in his golf cart drinking and picking up drinking buddies to ride around with?? Scary, right? Then came time to renew contracts, which was usually in August. August came and went... crickets. Sept came and went... crickets. October, just a week and a half before the season ended, they sent around the contracts for 2023. Holy price increase! 50% for our site! The increased all sites to be the same cost (as opposed to the sites being priced by their size, location, hook-ups, etc.). So we would be paying the same prices as sites that are three times the size of ours and include all hook-ups (we had electric and water, no sewer). We can't fit any cars on our site when you are allowed to have two. It doesn't make sense to price all the sites at the same rate. They dressed up the increase by stating that electricity, pumpouts and now a resort fee would be included. Since we were only there on the weekends, our expense for both were minimal, so it wouldn't make sense for us. I understand that those with much larger sites are only seeing a minimal increase in comparison, and those who are there more frequently will benefit from electricity being included. If it makes sense for them, fine. However, many of us were basically pushed out. They are now charging a resort fee, even though the campground and amenities are anything but. Very disappointed with the drastic change and price increase. We pulled out this year and likely won't be returning. They have even increased the prices on daily stays on their transient sites. FInd another family owned campground, there are a few left with great reviews. This one is now a corporation.

    The pool was closed the five days we were there. Water pressure was low if you had water at all, so you had to make sure you had water in your own tank. The new corporate owners raised all the rates and lowered the service and have run it right in the ground, which is sad because we used to go there alot, but after this year we've found another location for next year.

    I won't go here again, the worst place ever, my campsite was super bad, dirty and our tents was on top of a lot of roots, bathroom dirty, the pool was the best thing they have but the staff she thinks that she can talk to any kids like her own, she didn't let no other kids bring toys inside the pool but only her kids 🤦🏻‍♀️ they had mini golf but you need to reserved before 2pm it will be nice if they have it open all the time. If I can give less than 1 start I will

    Our families favorite campground! Always clean, friendly workers, and tons of activities for kids and families. There was a live band last time we went and things like arts and crafts and hay rides for the kids. They also do movies on a big screen in the field. Awesome experience every time. I seriously recommend checking it out!

    Leaving here devastated. It is now owned by a big company that just wants $$$$. We have been here for years. They have out priced us and we will never be back. People were yelling because only 1 tent is allowed on a site. So forget the kids in a separate tent. I am in tears over the loss. They just want rich people with RVs

    Overall, extremely disappointed with this property. The staff I interacted were friendly and helpful, but the advertising materials are incredibly misleading. We planned on a quick family trip 20 minutes from home, and planned on staying in a cabin for 3-4 days. When we arrived, we discovered the heated pool was unheated, the Lazer tag was shut down (lack of staff), the advertised paddleboats weren't on property anymore, and the sluice was also shut down due to lack of help. Realistically, I attempted to take my family with two young kids on a quick family Camping vacation and unfortunately all of the activities listed on the website were basically unavailable. The cabin itself was fine, and the overall venue although a bit run down would have been fine, but it was the lack of the advertised activities that really killed the experience.

    Was a great reasonably priced getaway. New owners raised the prices 35-50%. Based on the photos and my expierence at the end of last year, The playground is all rotten and needs to be upgraded, it has not been. The pool needs a new liner, Maybe this has been done? The deck in the front is rotted away, it has not been replaced. The game room is closed, unless they did a lot of work, expect it to be closed. Point is, at $70 a night, campers might as well go somewhere nice. I can almost get a hotel room for that cost.

    We enjoyed our stay again. We did a week last summer (2021) and we stayed again this summer. My friend and I do a moms camping trip. We enjoy the 2 hrs a day of adult free time in the pool. (Wish more campgrounds did this.) They do activities during the week( most do not, only on weekends.) The staff was nice a helpful.

    We have gone to this campground for 3 years. It is very clear that ownership changed and there has been significant changes and not for the better. They used to have a beer list to purchase in store, no longer, they used to do breakfast on Sunday, no longer, no paddles boats, no laser tag, no movies at the pavalion, they had a sitting area to watch movies in the rec hall, gone but dvd player still there and no dvds available. The toilets in bathroom didn't flush properly, poor water pressure. Many seasonal sites empty. Some kind of security person driving in golf cart with little blue light, not comforting, and have no idea how long that person stays but definitely not long into evening.The cops had to come while we were there for a domestic problem. Reading other reviews, it is clear new "corporate" owners are not interested in having campers return with there response to reviews. "We’re sorry to hear about your experience, but the feedback is appreciated. We’ll look into this." or "pass along to the team".This is pretty much the response no matter the review or issue. No type of incentive to have repeat campers return again. And, most other campgrounds we visit do not require us to purchase wifi, this isn't new to the new owners but still should be included in cost, since now so high to camp there. Looks like a 4th year at this campground will not happen, like so many others.

    We stayed for 3 nights, with 2 kids and loved our cabin. The mattresses were a bit tough but with sleeping bags and blow up mattress we made it work. The service folks were so kind, there's laundry onsite and a great catch and release pond for the kids. You are 10min from waterfall hike, and the best ice cream and animal farm. The cabin site had fire pit and parking space available for our truck. Also fridge and stove in cabin. We enjoyed the site so much and there was even a pool and playground!

    Do not recommend. Terrible, narrow roads and poorly marked spots. We reserved site 8, which is advertised as fitting a 45ft RV. Ours is 37ft and we barely got it in the spot. Very, very tight turn radius around a bunch of trees, on a steep incline. The site was not level at all and we had to go out and purchase a second leveling kit to get our trailer level during our stay. We lost water pressure multiple times, including when our kids were in the bath house taking showers and the water went out completely.

    Stayed here from July 1st to the 9th in a tent. This campground is beautiful and has everything you could ask for in a camping trip on site or extremely close by. Staff was wonderful. Facilities are well kept. I had an amazing time here.

    This was our first time visiting the campground. The store is great and the snack shop had good food. I was disappointed with the schedule of activities verses what was listed online on the website. Sadly 3 of the 4 things were cancelled but not updated leaving kids sad. The pool was very clean but freezing. There was also advertising on the website for fishing, boat rental and a game room. None of these are there anymore. ( but lots of frogs to catch) The camping ground was very clean and respectful.

    We had a great time! We went with 2 families and we want 2 tent site close together which they were able to accommodate and close to the bathroom for the little kids. The atmosphere is relaxing and the activities available were more than we could do in a weekend. The tent sites were great with 2 ouets and 2 water nozzles. Bathroom cleaned regularly with hot showers included in the price of your site (no coin op shower). The kids had fun fishing and swimming until they dropped. The band that was there Saturday was fun but our site was too close to the soccer field so it was too loud at bedtime for the kids. Next time we will just pick site further from the action though because there were lots of options.

    My husband and I stayed here last week, $50 for a night on their standard tent campsite (which we thought was reasonable, especially since another campground we looked at in the area was almost $80/night) Our site was right on a pond, had a picnic table, fire pit, and was less than a minute walk to the nearest bathrooms/showers (which were very clean!) we sat in our camping chairs while we watched birds, frogs, and ducks hang out all around us. We didn't buy anything at the store they have so I can't comment on the prices but I can say from first glance they seem to have everything and anything you might need, from firewood to bug spray, sunscreen and swimming goggles. We didn't visit any of the amenities as we only stayed one night but we will definitely be returning soon!

    We normally love this place and have been staying here for over 20 years and now the third owner and were very disappointed. I will start by saying the staff is always pleasant but the amenities are horrible. No food served in the kitchen….no breakfast buffet…no grilled items at the carnival.Always loved the kitchen during bingo. At least have some food trucks. Bathroom near pool was closed and no temporary toilets nearby. GROSS. No arcade. No laser tag. We always stay in the same cabin and were happy with the upgraded smoke/carbon monoxide detectors that did not buzz all weekend. We tried to understand this transition of owners as last year was also lacking. Expected more this year as price increased and got less. Our site was dangerously unleveled. Tree roots were so exposed from erosion and there was no fill leveling lot. We paid a resort fee this year and did not have a resort experience. We are attached to this place and still hope it will improve. The cost increase is ridiculous and the new deposit policy is unreasonable. Blue Water Management has not made Prospect Mountain better.

    I’ve been coming here with friends and family every Labor Day weekend for the last 20 years. I’m not sure if it’s the new owner/management, but our trip this year was terrible. 20 minute walk to a bathroom. Barely any activities compared to before. No kitchen anymore to order food. Hardly any snacks in the store. They got rid of the arcade/game room. No more Sunday breakfasts or Monday (Labor Day) Buffet. After a poor experience with the new owners last year, they promised things would be better this year, but it’s actually worse. We were going to book again for next year like we always do, hoping for a better experience one more time, but the payment they’re asking for up front is outrageous. They’re charging more, yet providing far less. It’s not even worth the money and it’s clear that they don’t want yearly/repeat customers anymore. This was a yearly trip I used to look forward to every year, but with the way it is now, we won’t be coming back.

    I had an excellent stay. The facilities were clean and well kept, the camp store stocked with any items I forgot, and the owners/front desk staff were extremely communicative and helpful. The campsite itself was well maintained, as well.

    My family and I come here every year! We love it here!! Robbie was so helpful when we wanted to go mini golfing. Definitely suggest coming here for a nice family weekend camping trip!

    Went there with my wife and kids for Father’s Day weekend. We had a great time. The cabin was nice, the campground was clean and the staff was friendly. We will definitely camp there again.

    staff was nice.. that's all that was good about this... sites were small like way to small to where you trip over everything. the way its advertised is a joke!!!! the "game Room" closed permanently. the RC track not there at all, the fossil find gem mining is none of that. you buy a bag of sand put it in the water and screen it in the sluice.. which by the way is in the middle of a terrible mini golf course.... which brings me to the mini golf a not so handy home owner could build a better one in the back yard... just terrible... the laser tag that's advertised... ya only if they have a staff member that isn't busy or if they actually showed up for work. the "basketball court" ha a slab of wavey asphalt. set up on top of a retaining wall. with 1 hoop!! if you are lucky enough to play after waiting over an hour to shoot hoops with your kids one bounce on the wrong side your ball is flying down the mountain..... apparently after covid they were bought out by a corporation who doesn't care.. everything needs updating rules need to be enforced for everyone! we had a family from another campsite not only steal from my 6 year old!!! but they stole the only campground basketball!! quiet hours not enforced at all, if they were to actually offer things for the kids and family's to do, it would be great.. or update the campground... we are really disappointed in this campground!! we will not return.. i could seriously go on with my entire review but that will be on another site.... very disappointed
