While searching on Google Maps for a two night stay somewhere I came across Oak Lake RV Resort. I read most of the reviews to get a sense of the place. Even though I was a little concerned of some of them I decided to go there anyway. When I first arrived I was greeted by the desk clerk kindly but I was concerned about the relationship she had with another employee. I sensed some negativity that was a little uncomfortable for me. As I continued in the park after check-in I was met by another employee for an escort to my spot. This employee was kind to me also. Every time I saw her she said high and smiled. After getting settled in I met with Tim, the owner, and we spoke for a while about the future of the resort and the upgrades he’s done and still wants to do. In my opinion this place has great potential to be a full on RV resort but it still has a ways to go like fixing the bridge that leads to an island which would be great for weddings and other special events. The pond is not something I’d swim in but fishing is doable, catch and release by rule. There is a playground for the kids and a dog park. The girls and I walked this entire property using its wide trails which I liked. This rv campground is nice but I’ve stayed in other campgrounds that had much more accommodations like laundry and a functional pool for less than what I payed per night here. A campground of this caliber should be around $40-$50 per night based on a 30 or 50 amp service with water and sewer. If there are upgrades made in the future I can see this place getting away with charging higher prices but until then the prices should be more reasonable. This campground needs a little cosmetic pick me up but I believe it has the potential to be a KOA quality resort. I gave this review 5 stars because there were efforts made in hospitality and they did not once interrupt my visit in a negative way. Thank you for a peaceful stay.
