We have been camping here during salmon season for over 20 years. Love the park, like the maintenance guys a lot. They go out of their way to help! Very friendly! We could never figure out why the same people get the same best lots year after year. So today, the first day to make reservations for the 2025 season. I called first thing, I was told I'm one of the first 3 on the list and they would call me back around 10:30am to make reservations. So i left my name and number.. I even made it a point to tell them we have coming there for over 20 years. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM!!! I called at noon, to find out what was going on. The lady said she called and left a message. Which is a complete lie!!! I had been waiting all morning for a return call. So she blew me off and asked if still wanted to make reservations. Since I was one of the first 3 on the list I asked for one of the best lots in my view. She replied "All the river lots are booked! Except these last 2 small ones". So I booked them. I cannot tell you how Pissed I am right now! I guess we know how the same people get the same lots every year!!! It would be nice if the new owners would get involved in this!!! When it comes to booking lots for salmon season, same old crap as the last owners... (Why didn't they just book my reservation when i called this moring?) Apparently the ladies up front take care of their old clients first! The rest of us just suck up the left overs! It would be really nice to see the new owners actually care about what is going on with their new adventure. I was told, they are planning some much needed upgrades to the fish cleaning station and bathrooms. I am sure everyone will love the new upgrades!!! Were still looking forward to seeing are long term salmon season friends again this fall.
