Today, we had our membership revoked from the Lake. My sons had climbed the ladder to a slide two at a time, instead of one at a time. When they heard the lifeguard's whistle, they immediately stopped. Then, they got in trouble for climbing on a red pole in the water. I should have noticed the double-slide-climbing and put a stop to it, but overall, I'm used to my sons climbing and having fun at home, and it seemed like normal pre-teen and teenage boy behavior to me. Following this, my oldest son got in trouble for hitting a rock on the ground with a golf club. Legitimately, I see this as a problem, as we would never want to damage property in any way. The owner yelled at my sons. I watched them act respectively repentant, telling him, "Yes, sir." Then the owner called me over and through lecture and overreaction, revoked our membership. Maybe because neither my children nor I were rude, the owner did not verbally assault us the same way I've seen him speak to so many others.
We are seasonal campers at the Lake. Have been for three years. Gets better every year! It's a great place for our daughter to be a kid...lots of activities geared for families, fun things to do and explore. Great place to swim, nice and affordable snack shop, friendly management. Extended camping season, too - goes from May until the end of October. Wouldn't go anywhere else - love the place!
I would NOT recommend a membership at The Lake, but in trying to give a fair review... This was our third summer of having a swimming membership at the Lake. On the positive side, we thoroughly enjoyed our friends and the sand and sunshine. The inflatables are super fun, and the diving boards provide a great challenge as the kids try out different dives. My kids enjoyed the gaga ball and mini golf. We've had a lot of fun there.
If you are considering a membership at the Lake, there are definite positives! If you have preschoolers or all daughters, I could recommend this place, if you do not get upset by overt and unpredictable anger. If you have teenage or pre-teen sons, I would recommend finding a better place to do your swimming. Also, if you want to have your family at a place where you will not need to fear temper, moodiness, and verbal assaults from the owner, you'd do better elsewhere. Overall, I'd give this man and his wife our prayers, but I don't recommend supporting him with any money.
Me n my family had a wonderful tyme here. Can't wait to gt bk here again with the new grand kids.
Great experience and great atmosphere! My family looks forward to time together at The Lake every summer. Owners have done an amazing job and I would recommend to anyone.
On the negative side, the owner has an unpredictable temper. Over the years, I have watched people be berated by the owner for infractions that seemed very minor to me. I feared the owner and his verbal assault of people. However, the positives of the Lake outweighed this for our family. Also, the owner could be kind and friendly at times.
Our family started camping at The Lake last year and we can't wait for the season to start again! We had such a good time and made lots of memories. We were looking for a family friendly campground with swimming and leisure activities. We had a great summer! They host theme nights on the weekends with fun activities and movies on the Lake. After the day of swimming, we would have a campfire and dinner with the friends who camped around us. We would turn in around 10ish and never once did we hear excessive noise or wake up to loud partying. The owners have a set of rules and standards that they stick to and so it's safe for our kids around the Lake and the camping area. All in all, we made a great choice in buying a site at the Lake Campground. I can see us making many memories for years to come. We also have friends who are Lake members who have the swimming privileges and do not camp overnight. This is a fun option too!
