Blackhawk RV Campground

I stayed at Blackhawk RV Camping Resort as part of a Thousand Trails about a week ago. I could not be more impressed! From the day of my arrival, I was made to feel welcome from super friendly staff and seasonals (shout-out to Brad, Brian, Ben and Steve, also to a woman with short blonde hair and a pink golf cart, who was also very helpful- sorry I didn't get your name). Anyway, the campground is HUGE and very well-kept. There is plenty of space between campers- from anyone in tents to living in one of their cabins. I was in my own Class-A. I had full hook-ups (20-50amp available at the pole) with no issues with electric and good water pressure. They had beautiful landscaping with lots of grass and trees throughout. If I had the grandkids, they would have enjoyed themselves with the myriad of children's activities they offered as well as a basketball court, volleyball, horseshoes, swimming pool etc. They also had 3 adjacent lakes, but I could only figure-out how to get to 2 of them. Onsite, I also found a store with basic amenities (+ ice & fire wood) as well as a 24-hour laundry room. You can also rent a golf cart, which I recommend for at least a couple of days. I highly recommend this campground!

They are working on making the place better, and that earns high marks from me. It flooded, so they dug a drain. It started to smell like sewer after the flooding, they changes the main sewer pump filters. They had thirsty Thursday at the pool and gave out beer and snacks. Oh, and an acoustic guitarist playing. A food truck was next to the camp store on weekends - I only had breakfast and I was not impressed, but it was their first day ever and were swamped with orders. Saturdays they had live bands. The seasonal were all friendly. The biggest downside, for me, was the traffic. There is a bottle neck of golf carts, cars, walkers, and children on bikes around both the pool and the entrance. The pool is on the way to the entrance, so leaving the park was always an ordeal. Staff was very friendly. I stayed 13 days, the photos were day one. It was mostly dry after day 3 (it rained and flooded again on day 3).

I can't comment on the campground because we never made it there, but I'm sure it's a nice place. They cancelled our reservation a week before we went because of "ongoing restoration activities". They could have told us that there might be a problem to give us time to go somewhere else. I could see if it was an emergency it would be understandable but ongoing work seems like they just don't have their act together. They did offer us to _try_ to make a reservation at one of their other campgrounds and did refund us but come on, a week before hand?

This is our second camping trip with our travel trailer. Our first trip was in wild rose wisconsin and it set the bar high. This is a descent camp ground but with the rain, there is only a small beach area. They strongly discourage lake swimming but they have a nice pool. We set up just before the rain. When the rain was over, the neighboring camper was knee deep in water. This collection of water remained throughout our stay and provided a chorus of intense frog croaking after dark. The children's play area was also under water. On Saturday night at 10 pm they had a golf cart parade which essentially was drunk people driving through the camp on golf carts blasting music. On the upside, they do have people that patrol the grounds. They brought the children craft bags with fun activities. The showers were free, generally clean and nice. Not sure that we will be back
