Enjoyed stay at Scout Cabin. Was an adventure. Inconsistencies of the check-out time information in the cabin, noon vs. 11:00 Low soap in the bathroom. Comfy beds. Clean cabin. Had hot water. Most beds & pillows were in zipped covers which was great to keep mattresses clean & avoid infestations. Great park. Might suggest pad or wipe off board on which guests could indicate supplies that are low or depleted.

Campground Response

Regina, Thanks for bringing the one typo about check-out time to our attention. It has been corrected to reflect 11 all the way around. Yes, supplies are kept low in the cabins. At the beginning of the year, they were fully stocked and entire boxes of garbage bags and swiffers would go missing. We make sure campers have what they will need based on the number of people checking in and the length of stay. The camp host number is in the cabin if extras are needed. We are also at the end of our camping season. We're glad you had a good time and enjoyed the cabin and park.

Hosts are very friendly. We always enjoy the activities that are available at Wilder Park. It is located in a beautiful off road setting. The fall festival was fantastic. Our family enjoyed & look forward to next year. We were amazed by the attendance. Facilities are clean. Our favorite place to camp close to family. We hope Hosts will be back for 3rd year in 2024.

Thanks so much Connie. Our hosts are awesome and their vision for Harvest Festival was just what this community needed. We love that Wilder is one of your favorite places. We can't wait to see if our hosts will be back also.
