Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Deer Run

Justin

What started as a great trip quickly turned into an extremely uncomfortable experience. The cabins and waterpark/pools are very nice and everything was clean and ready for us upon arrival. The campgrounds lost power for a few hours on Friday and on Saturday/Sunday we were one of the few cabins without power/hot water for about 20 hours up into the end of our stay (except the fridge, which we had to unplug in the middle of the night because it sounded like a jackhammer, no exaggeration, due to it not having enough power). It was very hot inside the cabin and all of the amenities that we paid for were nonexistent. We understand fully that the power going out is not the fault of the campgrounds. The staff could control how they dealt with it however, and not once did they provide any kind of assistance or ask "What can we do to help?". There were empty cabins around us with lights on and air conditioners running that they could have switched us to. They refused to offer up any kind of reimbursement and told us to take it up with someone else. This level of apathy and unprofessionalism is absurd.

EDIT: In the 24 hours since I posted the review beIow, I have to drop from 2 to 1 star. The power went out again. Fair enough, I went down to the camp store to ask why some people got power back but we didn't and the woman shut the door in my face and locked it. Horrible customer service. They're charging $300 a night for cabins here and can't even guarantee basic water and power. Don't come here. don't like to leave bad reviews but here's an honest opinion: My first year at the campground was around $4500. This year they raised the rates to $4750. For the $250 they added nothing to the campground. The liners on the pools are coming up, they added a bunch of sites in the back that they can't even open. Now they're raising the price $750 for next season to $5500. I'm a little confused seeing as they are not announcing any changes to go with the price increase. To make matters worse, the power and water regularly go down and they don't seem to understand that they own the electric from their property line and blame the electric company. Also, if you compare events with other campgrounds, this one holds very few events and the ones they do hold (such as a basketball tournament where the employees just leave out a whiteboard then walk away telling the players to keep track) involve little to no effort from the owners and zero return on investment monetarily. We have a good group of friends at the campground but sadly I think with the way this place is running itself we'll have to find somewhere else to go.

Now that we have been staying all season, it has everything we wanted. Excellent people, food truck is very convenient with great food, seems that there is multiple activities every weekend. Looking forward to the rest of the season and years to come. We will not be moving anytime soon. 10 stars

About 90% seasonal sites, 5% is rental campers/cabins and 5% for everyone else. Adults with no kids - not much to do except swim in the Adult pool which could have used a good skimming and tended to more than just once a day. This "resort" is just a way over priced campground because they have a splash pad and playground for kids. We paid $109 a night for full hook up and then $20 for a lock in fee so they didn't move you. Isn't that what a reservation fee is for?! Although It is a good place for kids but many were unsupervised. Squirrel population is out of control. They are not afraid and run all over your site and up on your table. They even chewed on my plastic table and a plastic bin. Sites are small and you are on top of one another. Very tight spots and no "personal" space. Visitor fee is high - $20 EACH adult and $15 a child (under 2 is free). So, don't expect friends or family to come hang out for a few hours by your fire. The store closes way too early during the week, at 5pm - camping is camping no matter the day of the week. Golf cart rental is highway robbery! $84 a day with a 2 day minimum! I saw at least 6 carts sitting there unused. The guy next to us just wanted it for 1 day to drive his grandchildren around. He didn't want one for 2 days. Especially at that price. There is a food truck, if you want to pay $7.99 for a hamburger. We were told garbage pick up was at 11am & 6pm. Well, that is more like whenever they get around to it. You put your garbage out by a tree and the squirrels and birds would get into it because sometimes it would sit there for hours. One morning the whole park lost water for about 30 minutes. We didn't have a problem after that. We do realize that uncontrollable things happen. But, when you put all this together in one basket - we will never stay here again.
