Hejamada Campground & RV Park

Alicia Odrzywolski

Although there were activities for the kids and an awesome pool we were unable to enjoy much of this Campground due to the insane amount of mosquitos. When the wind did pick up a little and shoo the pesky bugs away you were overwhelmed with the smell of sewage. These complaints may seem trivial but they are all also easily remedied. The grass was overgrown, cutting it would have helped with the bug issue and addressing obvious sewer issues would make everyone’s stay bearable. In talking with fellow campers, who have stayed before at this campground, the conditions we experienced were the norm. It’s such a shame as the campground has so much potential but the bugs, who seem to enjoy deet, and horrid smells really made it hard to enjoy.

The sites are pretty close together, however, there was plenty of open space behind and in front of our RV. The park itself is very nice, open, green, etc. The mosquitos were horrendous! Pretty high priced also. If you need to stay in the area, I would recommend this campground, but be sure to bring mosquito bombs and spray.

When we made the reservation, we asked for a shaded site. When we arrived, we were given a site in the middle of a sun field. We went back to the desk and she was able to move us to a partially shaded site. However, the site was so overrun with mosquitoes we had to buy an $8 bug bomb just to get through the evening. Disappointed to see them still mowing all the fields on Friday afternoon when people were arriving for the weekend. The guy mowing, stopped briefly - not to welcome us - to yell at us for apparently going over the 5 mph speed limit. Not a good start. After the second mosquito-filled night that was cool enough to have a fire but too mosquito-y to enjoy it, we decided to bail on the remaining 2 nights of our reservation and go somewhere else. Between the dirty bathrooms, laundry facilities that you had to pay for but only had cold water, and the general rundown state of affairs, it wasn’t worth it to us to miss another campfire and sit in the RV all evening avoiding the mosquitoes.

The one positive thing I can say about Hejamada Campground is that it has a lot of potential. The grounds are relatively well kept and there is a lot of room to play your typical family camping games. The site we stayed at from June 4th through the 7th had sewer and 30A electric hookups. The campground does have unprotected WiFi, but the signal was too weak to be able to connect to it from our site. There is very little for kids to do here as the playground is roped off due to being in disrepair and the pool also hadn't been opened. There are also a TON of mosquitoes due to the pond that desperately needs some maintenance. We chose to stay at this campground because it was the only one in the area that was not fully booked for the weekend. We went in hoping that the previous reviews describing the campground's overbearing owners were exaggerated. Alas, they were not... The campground has a 5 MPH speed limit, which is nearly impossible to do without continuously riding your brakes. Despite every effort to at least stay under 8 MPH, there would always be a staff member waving at you to slow down. The old guy - presumably the owner - will chase you down in his golf cart - at full speed, ironically - to chastise you for speeding. He spends roughly a quarter of his day doing this. When we stayed, the temperature on Sunday was an oppressive 86+ degrees. There is no shade in our loop, so keeping cool is a challenge. When a camper a few sites away from us lost power, the owner came to fix whatever electrical issue caused the outage and blamed it on all the "people using their damn air conditioners". By 2:00, the few kids in our loop decided to beat the heat by filling up squirt guns and have a water war. A couple of kids used a small bucket to dump water over each other's heads. Apparently, this activity was against the rules. The owner told everyone to stop because the camp uses well water. In the future, we would rather stay at a state park with no sewer hookup for less money than stay here ever again. Believe the bad reviews because they are all true.
