Customer Reviews
Me and my girlfriend stayed in one of the new Yurts on site with another friend of ours and it was a great weekend. Once there are bathrooms in the cabins this will immediately be changed to a 5 star review. The guy up at the service desk was helpful and knew of a few great, local fishing spots. The views were amazing HOWEVER, I did forget a pair of wadders and I was limited to only shore fishing. I did see the store upfront had some, but I just didn't wanna spend the extra money. Mayor Mike was friendly and had some great fishing advise as well. My girlfriend had a great, little, birthday weekend camping trip and our friend we brought up as well did too. I did see that the vending machine by the bathroom didn't have an electric outlet installed for it YET, but we brought plenty of drinks
Male checking us in was rude and not helpful. Did not get site that was reserved. Small sites. Fish gut cooler not working - was told AC unit broke but had part and would be fixed that day- it wasn't. Smell so bad couldn't be there. Left early. Won't be recommending or staying again. Loved the area as we stayed away from camp site saw many area spots.
We decided to choose a close to home campground. We love to take the grandchildren camping. Our grandchildren range in age 3 to 16. We enjoyed the staff and cleanliness of the park, sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows, tubing the river, swimming in the pool, walking the park meeting new people. The river running through the park was very beautiful. We were able to sit on bench at canoe launch and fish. The kids loved it. Cable and wifi both available made it nice at bedtime. We met many very nice people in which we hope to see again next year when we return.
Our family stayed in one of the newer RVs next to the river. The RV was clean and comfortable. The view of the river was amazing and tranquil. We caught sight of an otter swimming in front of our site! I had a chance to take a dip in the river. It was so refreshing. Our family made some great memories at WRC, especially for our first time camper at 3 years old.
Good people, good vibes. Good place. But they will probably skrew you out of your reserved campsite, so I wouldn’t recommend paying the extra $10 to reserve one, many people have this issue, even people who have been coming for 7+ years. Other than that it’s great. Little pricy but the easy river access makes it worth it
