We stayed at the campground for Labor Day weekend. The park itself is nice, and the sites were big, but we were very disappointed with the management of the park. There was no enforcement of campground rules by the staff, who let an unlimited amount of campers and cars onto campsites without registrations and allowed the park to be a free for all. In a time where park capacities are a concern, we found this to be particularly problematic.
We spoke with the park staff on three separate occasions about a group with 5 cars and at least 15 people staying on a single site who were blasting music and yelling until 1 o clock in the morning for two consecutive nights. The staff said they would address the issue and never did, so it continued to happen on the second night. The following morning the staff told us they never received any complaints.
As a result, we were forced to leave a day early so we could get a decent night’s sleep at home. The park’s supervisor was kind enough to reach out the next day to find out what had happened and try to address our concerns, but unfortunately we had already lost faith in his staff’s ability or willingness to do their jobs for another night.
I’m sure this campground is a great place to stay if you’re lucky enough to have considerate neighbors, but I would warn others that if you do not, you’ll have little help from the staff.
photos are outdated. The sites that now have electric and water don’t show it in the photos. Also, there is a brand new campground office and a brand new cabin to rent.
Thanks Stacey!
We will try and reshoot/photograph Hopeville Pond State Park later this year.
