“I was part of the staff at Loon Lake”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2010

I was assigned to primarly the entire resort during the summer season. Everyday I would start at 7am at the Main restroom/showers located in the RV park. During the busy season It would take me up to 2 hrs to clean those facilities. When I would arrive 90% of the time they were a disaster zone but when I left they shined. I then proceeded to the Lodge and clean those toilets and remove all trash. I would go all the campsites on the upperend and pick up the garbage, trash and dog poop. Those sites hade Porta-poties. I would wipe them down chk for paper and stir them if the were filling. The same thing for the Yurts. Then I would drive down to the Main tent camping below the lodge. I would pickup trash and clean the toilets as best I could. I was friendly to all the guest and asked those I seen if there was anything I could do for them. I would then proceed down to the rv park picking up trash at the garrbage cans there. On the weekend of the disturbance as I proceeding through the Camp site, NO Person Said one Word to me about it. I finally heard about it on Monday morning. So I say to those who had the bad experience on that weekend. I was through there every day Why Didn't you Say Something. And if you had I personally would have done something about it. After picking up the trash and communicating with the guest on a daily bases. I would finnish my day at the main restroom facilities, so those who wanted to cleanup and shower in the evening. I'm sorry you had a bad experience at Loon Lake, But I felt that for All the staff that was there last summer. We showed the up most respect toward all the Guest. But it is also your responcibility to say SOMETHING. If I were to return for another season I would try to the upmost to see that your visit would be enjoyable. Thank You Kim

“Fun Fun Fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2010

Love this park. We have been several times this year. The park is small enough to see the kids at the beach from most of the RV spots. The swimming area is small enough to keep tabs on all of them at one time. Every time we go we meet new friends and have a great time. The kids crafts are planned at the perfect time of the day to keep kids busy for the parents to finish that last bit of packing or cleaning up from breakfast, or just that little down time before hitting the beach for the day. The dock is well kept and plenty of fun water sports to rent. No cell phone coverage a plus.

“This was a beautiful place to go to relaxe.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

We arrived on a Wensday after noon, and stoped at the lodge to check in. The person at the counter was very pleasent and helpful. Before we left to go to our camp site, we had the pleasure of meeting the manager and his wife, ( Jeff & Robin) they made us feel like family. they helped with every thing we needed. We had a lot of fun on the jetskies and pontune boat, The crafts that they had for the kids were great and looked like fun, we asked if we coukd join in doing the crafts too, and robin said she would love to have us join in. We found our camp site clean and the grass moved. the fire pit was clean. The personnel was around every morning to empty the trash containers. The restrooms claen and very easy to get to. We normaly do not eat out, but we decided to try the lodge for dinner on Saterday night, the food was very good. We were sad when Monday came around and we had to leave. We have already booked our reservations for next year, our camping trip was excellent and we highly recommend everyone to try this camp grounds if you like beautful trees, fishing, watersports and freindly people.

“Worst camping experience of my life! Very unsafe for my children.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

Pictures on the website were deceiving. This "campground" was a big rocky, sloping parking lot. Campsites had trash and dog doo all over them when we arrived. It was advertised that there were toilets and showers, but were told at check in that they were 3/10 of a mile away. The doors on the outhouses did not shut, which led to a couple of embarassing situations. There was no privacy between campsites, and they were so packed in there that our tent was about 10 feet from our neighbors and we heard him snoring all night. We went on a nature walk with the kids, only to pass huge piles of trash. The blackberries were good, though. Some fellow campers were very loud until past 2am both nights, playing loud music and using foul language. The worst part of it all was the sounds of fighting with weapons and women screaming for help. There was no pay phone, no cell reception, and we couldn't pack up our kids and leave because we were afraid of the drunk drivers that were racing up and down the highway from the resort. Management was not concerned about these issues, and thus nothing was resolved. I was scared for the safety of my children. I will tell everyone I know to never come to this place. Overall a horrible experience.

Please accept our apologies that your stay at Loon Lake Lodge did not meet your expectations or ours. We spot check the sites all season and have never found them left dirty and we to keep an eye out to make sure that other campers aren’t letting their dogs go into other sites. We do apologize for you embarrassing experience with the restrooms in our camping area. We have a major renovation plan for the camping area at the lodge, but have had to put it on hold due to the current economic situation. During your nature walk with the kids, you must have passed our burn piles of trash. We are sorry you experienced this, but glad that you enjoyed the blackberries.
The fighting incident was an extremely unusual situation, one that most certainly has not occurred before at Loon Lake lodge. We put extreme efforts into being a fun family place. After long talks with campers, personnel and the Sherriff’s who responded to the incident it was a case of individual’s putting matters into their own hands.

“Worst camping experience EVER!!!! We feared for our lives.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

We went to Loon lake after having many friends tell us how beautiful it was. They were talking about the BLM Camp ground there, not Loon Lake Lodge Camp Grounds. But when we registered for camping we didn't realize there were 2 different camp grounds. We arrived to find our camp site littered with trash and dog messes. Camp staff weren't helpful and we had to clean it ourselves. The campsites have NO PRIVACY from one another. A neighboring camper described it best when he referred to it as a refugee camp. The first night we had neighboring campers who kept us up till very late playing loud music and yelling. No camp employees were there to enforce the quiet hours, which were suppose to be between 10:00pm and 7:00am, and it was left to the fellow campers to deal with the noise till 2:00am. The next day we awoke tired after little sleep the night before, but went over to the BLM recreation area which has a nice sandy beach and swim area, plenty of picnic tables and nice showers. We had a wonderful day there and the kids had plenty of sand and grass to run around on. We returned to camp tuckered out after a restless night and a long day of play. The camp was quiet till 11:15 when loud music began to blare. We knew then it was going to be another long night, but at that time had no idea just how scary it would become. At 11:45 while walking back from the out house the noisy campers started up their truck and began to rev the engine over and over. A camper across the way asked that they knock it off, he had kids that were trying to sleep. The noisy camper stopped but only briefly, when she began to do it again the camper across the way along with 3 other men approached their camp and told them they needed to turn it off, but they brought over a axe which only made the situation worse. Once that calmed down the campers went back to what they were doing. They were still loud but at least they weren't revving their engine any more. An hour later the revving starts up again and you hear a women screaming, "help, help, help him." The fighting had started again. One of the noisy campers goes into the other camp site and goes at the picnic table with a axe breaking a bunch of stuff. (I can see this 6 campsites away because 1. the campsites are super small and close together, and 2. the only thing to look around or over are the tents people have up because there again is no privacy.) At this point my husband and one of our friends, we are camping with, go up the hill to the lodge to get help. The on site manager is not home, no one is in the lodge and the pay phone doesn't work, we have no cell service and are feeling very helpless. We have been left with no options. The camp staff should have had someone on site, a working pay phone, should enforce their quiet hours so we woudln't be put into situations like this and I could go on and on. Then the drunks climb in their trucks and start chasing one another down the main road. While the men were up top trying to find help I was in the tent with our 4 kids listening to people screaming, fist hitting skin, axes waking things, people screaming about guns and yelling help. It was very scary and there was no one there to help us. Someone did drive out the 9 miles to the main highway and call the police, they showed up a hour later. When talking to the manager the next day it sounded like the police come out often. The manager said sorry but no money was refunded. Typing this out I can't express the pure terror we felt for our children and ourselves. It was like a scary movie being stuck in the middle of no where, and having scary things happening all around you with no one to help you. If you are looking for a nice relaxing weekend, this is not the place. If you want to have a nice time with your family, this is not the place. If you want to party and yell and fight and no one but fellow campers to tell you to be quiet, well this is the place for you.

Please accept our sincere apologies; this was an ugly situation that never should have happened. On Friday night the park was checked at 10:15 and again at 11:30. There were not any sites at that time that were loud. On Saturday at noon, the manager was approached by a guest who was concerned. He told the manager that around 1:00 am on Friday night/Saturday morning a guest in the park started getting very loud and was using profanity. The manager proceeded to go by the site repeatedly through the rest of the afternoon. The guests were out on the lake, and not available to speak with. On Saturday evening the park was checked at 10:00 when quiet hours start, and then again at 11:00. In reading your review, it is clear that the noise did not start until around 11:15, after the last rounds had been made. The store closing staff reported that people were talking on pay phone when they left work Saturday evening. A Staff member did hear someone around 1:00 am on the back porch to the Lodge Office. He went out to talk to that person. At this point, the fight had already happened, and people had already left for town to go to the hospital calling the Sheriff when they hit cell range. By time any employee was spoken to, it was too late. No one ever came to ask personnel to quiet things down or to handle an out of control situation. Instead of coming for help, it was a case of individual’s putting matters into their own hands. As Police Report #10-3151 states, “all of the parties involved in this disturbance were mutually combative and that no clear cut aggressor seems to stand out”. This was not a normal incident at Loon Lake; it is a fun family place. Money was refund to guests for the bad camping experience. If you did not receive a refund, please contact us directly.
