Sandy bottoms in Ontario.
We went for a week at the end of july. The advertising and website are glitzy and slick, too bad the place is just one notch above a dump.
We arrived on a Monday. Met the hostess and were read the rules. Cool.
We were shown to our deluxe 2 queen room with bathroom and shower. It was tiny. We barely had any room to move.
It was equipped with a fridge, mircowave and coffee maker, but no coffee.
We had to pay another 120.00 for air conditioning, which barely cut it. It was a cheapy standup unit from canadian tire.
Right outside the room was the septic system, and a field where people tent. So if you like the smell of raw sewage, this is the place for you.
We found out that evening, that you have to own a large enough vehicle to transport 300 beer - why 300? Figure 24 beer per person, per day plus another 6 for good luck.
There were 2 episodes of extreme drunkeness where 1 person was actually hurt, and I guess asked to leave the next day and one person (who turned out to be an employee of the place) got wasted on beer and almost fell into the fire.
So if you cant pound down 12 beer in 12 minutes, this place is probably not for you.
In the morning, beer cans and trash everywhere.
You have to bring in everything. Make sure you bring extra towels. The hotel rooms are non housekeeping and we had to beg for towels for the shower.
The bar b ques area all old, and falling apart. Lucky to find a propane tank that's full. There are 2 commercial fridges on premises if you are camping, or in a cottage, you can store your food there.
We had a great giant screen tv, but it wasnt hooked up to any service. Wifi is ok. Managed to catch the news back home.
All the theme nights never happened. We were disappointed. Total lack of organization. One couple did perform on music night, but with everyone around talking loudly, it was impossible to hear them. Talk about a total lack of respect.
The lake is not a lake, its a big pond.
THe place has some hard sided boats, bring your own floats if you desire.
The dock looked like it was recently repainted, but with the wrong product, so its all peeling. Dont walk there with bare feet.
This place is highly over rated. We heard all kinds of bull shit stories etc, we saw and heard very little action, I've seen more public sex in main stream bars.
THe place needs work. Needs some polish. ANd repairs. and maintenance. The owners should be on premises.
Maybe we'll go back one day.
Sorry Sandy, but that was our experience.
