We were camping for Canada Day weekend and were very disappointed for the Luxury Camping experience at a Camping Resort.
Check in was painfully slow considering everyone should have been pre-booked and were only checking in.
We arrived at our site to find the only division between our and the next to be 2 trees on 1 side and 1 tree on the other. Our picnic table was broken on the edges and the peeling paint was not nice to sit on. Our site had a large hole in the ground which we frequently stepped in, especially at night. We could not string tarps due to the lack of trees.
The worst was the bathrooms! First night the water was scalding hot that it was not usable and the whole bathroom was steamed up by morning. I was surprised that the bathroom taps were not able to be adjusted and only stayed on for a few seconds. But with the wet weather we had, the bathroom floors quickly became mud soaked and pooled. Despite the sign stating the bathrooms were cleaned frequently with initials and times, the floors remained covered in thick layers of mud, the garbage continually was overflowing, toilet paper, paper towels and soap were in short supply. Apparently the mens was not any better.
Eventually, staff arrived in the morning to clean and once confronted by many upset campers they set to work cleaning. That morning it took 2 hours to clean.
How can "luxury camping" have such outdated facilities? My standards are not that high, but I was expecting access to warm water to wash my hands and face, cold water to brush my teeth, taps that stay on for enough time to ACTUALLY wash your hands. Showers available IN the CAMPGROUND (and not across the parking lot) that allow for a shower without all my clothes and towel getting wet.
Provincial parks have nicer facilities for a fraction of the cost.
Why are campers permitted to wash dishes at the drinking water tap?
Where are staff after 11pm to enforce any rules or regulations at night?
I will not be returning to camp again and will not recommend this experience to anyone.
