Crystal Lake RV Resort

We camped here the Thursday before 4th of July weekend, and we expected it to be busy, and anticipated getting a last spot as we were passing through.  I think I called the wrong one from my search while in the car, as this place had just one review that doesn’t sound genuine, or from a camper.  I realized this after I made our reservation.  

Actually there were a half dozen sites available in the reject zone. This is an area distanced from the main area (thankfully, because there were speakers playing party music around the main office, bar and parking lot), by the “hangar” where all the utilities and maintenance vehicles come and go.  The swampy smell took a little getting used to.  There were port-a-potties and no dumpsters.  Wifi was $10 for a 3 day pass (we passed!).  Construction refuse and trash littered the area here. We were on the other side of the fence of a landscaping company or something similar.  Golf carts constantly drove around these sites at all hours - just gawking?  This is a real party place on a spit of land surrounded by (stagnant) water.  
Mostly though, for this unsavory area of this HUGE camping and permanent residence location, we were charged full price, non refundable, signing photo release forms and another rules and regs form, in the amount of $53.xx (not sure we got the AAA or veteran discount).  Upon leaving we talked to an employee who let us know of troubles the campground has gone through since an unexpected winter flood a few years back.  They are trying to improve, but that also means planned expansion by gouging out the nearby hillside for more sites.  
Please consider another location if you are looking for a pleasant camping experience.
