i was harrased by park security
0 % of users found this review helpful
Trying to enjoy a day with the family and kids park security asked me to move my little aluminum boat, nowhere did it say not to leave it along the water. I moved it and proceeded to enjoy my day and eat some food, the park security watched me the whole time I ate my burger... I asked them if my boat was ok where it was, I informed them I was going to finish my meal and take the kids out as soon I was done...they told me I couldn't leave it there. We compromised if I put it out off the shore a few feet it would be ok...few minutes later the wind had pushed my 10ft boat towards the shore and they were staking us out...my wife informed me she felt she was being watched...I walked up to the security as they hid behind a tree if they were still bothered by my boat and they told me if I didn't move it they would ask me to leave... I was so bothered by them stalking me....I removed my boat and left.... so much for having a nice relaxing day taking the kids out fishing and bbqing...I hope those fat ugly F'ers get a life and quit harrasing nice people trying to have fun. Nowhere does it say not to tie off your boat anywhere on the lake and it was out of the way not bothering anyone...I served my country 6 yrs in the Army and 15mos in War to enjoy my home and time with my family in my home state... I don't appreciate being harrased. Those poor security guards probably have never seen any real action and don't appreciate or have the common sense to respect people and what others have been through.

Last year it was great camping with our grandkids and rate was reasonable, but this year they have raised the rates which make camping not enjoyable anymore. They really need to upgrade the shower and bathroom facilities for the campground if they are going to charge the righer rates.
