I really enjoyed this campground for many years. It has recently been taken over by new management, and they do not care about the campers. Complaints or concerns are not taken seriously by their staff or manager. Staff is very rude. Activities for kids cost $$$ and must have an adult with them. Signs are posted such as no one under the age of 16 in the hot tub and they are not followed. Playground equipment looks nice but broken pieces are not taken care of. Pools are not heated as stated most of the time and allot of the time they are shut down for one reason or another. Showers are not the cleanest and could not get hot water. There is a charge for more then one vehicle. Their security screamed at my children for not riding their bikes in the direction of the arrows on the road. Movies are to be played at night on the weekends, this only happens if someone can run the projector/VCR. Food prices in their restaurant have gone up extremely high this year. I would not return to this campground! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for a Jeep event at the race track right across the street. The site we had was huge! There were trees to divide the large, grassy sites. They came by to get trash and clean out the campfire rings on empty sites everyday. There were a fair number of seasonals, and a lot of golf carts. You had to be very careful not to get run over by a seasonal golf cart- apparently they think they own the place. I did not like that you had to pay 25 cents for an 8 minute shower and was not told about this ahead of time. I found a shower that was broken and used it, as we were staying there for a week. It was nice and quiet, until the last day of our stay. They opened the race car school at the track across the street, and the noise was obvious. This is a good place if your are going to the races, however, as the gate is right there! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We camped here July 4th weekend 2004 with friends because they had family who had a seasonal site. Our original site had a huge garbage dumpster on it that was already full (yuck)! They moved us over one site. The sites were very small. We were camping in our pop-up and had trouble fitting it on the second site. We ended up having to switch sites again with one of our friends that was tent camping. I don't see how they can get any size RV on these sites. All weekend long we watched RV after RV trying to pull in to their sites with great difficulty. They did have lots of activities for the kids, including a 4th of July parade that went down all the lanes and gave out candy and prizes to the kids. Quiet times were not enforced. We have 2 small children who are not allowed to go anywhere without one of us with them. The other campers had no problem with this. Children were everywhere unsupervised. We ended up having to lock our coolers in our cars and taking them with us if we left the campground. Because of food and mainly beer that went missing. Our friend that was tent camping next to us had a young boy about 9 or 10 crash his bike into her van and dent it. After determining the boy was okay she proceded to look for his parents and found them on the other end of the lane. They actually yelled at her because she wanted to have a police report filled out so she could claim it on her insurance. I guess it was a nice place if you like to let your children run free while you kick back and party. We will not be back. Kettle Morraine State Forest North Unit is not too far away and it is an awesome place! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
If this is supposed to be a camping resort, I'm a monkey's uncle. This is a crowded trailer park with unlevel sites and narrow streets. The sites are close together and flowers are non existent. Upon checking in we were told that the third person in our party would be charged $16/night extra ($32/night was regular rate) because of the car races that were being held that weekend. We reluctantly agreed to pay the extra. There are three entrance gates which are 112 inches wide! My coach is 102 inches wide, so this left me with a whopping 5 inches clearance on each side. The check
in clerk instructed me to drive thru the exit gate which was 12 feet wide. She raised the gate from inside the office for me to drive thru and as I was driving thru the gate closed on my coach and scratched the passenger side (20 feet long). I went back inside the office to fill out a complaint report and to see the owner of the park (Bob) but he was out. Next we drove to site 198 which was a drive thru site. The electricity did not work, so I tried to plug into site 199 but it too did not have electric service. We moved twice before we found a site which had electric hook-ups that actually worked. The site we finally found in working order was sloped so much that my HWH leveling system could not level the coach. Next we were instructed that we had to wear wristbands because of the Elkhart Raceway races that
were being held on this weekend. Each day we had to go into the office and get new wristbands; even though we were not attending the races. The clerk actually tried to physically put the wristband on my wrist on Sunday morning. I explained that we were going to church & I did not want to wear the wristband during the mass. Woodall's needs to re-rate this park; there is no way it is four stars. I have been camping for 11 years, and this is worst campground
that I have been in. I will never go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're looking for a "Charlie Brown Christmas" commercialized type place, this would be it! We only stayed here because we had to drop off and pick up our son from camp, and this was the closest (10 minutes away) campground. The campground has three different pools, together with two whirlpools, which was very nice. There are a lot of "seasonal" people who think they are the bosses of the campground and can tell others what to do. Lots of activities happen throughout the day, and don't worry if you forget, because it will be announced over the campground-wide loudspeaker 15 minutes before it starts! "ATTENTION IN THE PARK, ATTENTION IN THE PARK". This can get quite irritating. Although the CG is close to Elkhart Lake Racetrack and you can certainly hear the racecars, that is not the CG's fault, but should be made known. One other note, this campground is EXPENSIVE. We were expecting an extra person along, and she would have cost us $12 per night. Seems a bit pricey to me. Kids cost extra, too. More than two kids will cost you an extra $4.00 per kid per night. A 1/2 gallon of milk cost me $3.00! When I complained about the cost, the person at the counter told me that "when you have a $3 million investment you have to recoup your money somehow. It's the convenience thing. You're always free to go into town to buy your stuff." Also, be aware that even the sites listed as "level" needed at least three boards and two bricks in front, under the hitch to actually become level. All in all, we may go back again, but only for the convenience aspect of it being so close to the camp our son goes to. Just be aware -- it's expensive and commercial. We camped here in a camper.
Reserved a water hookup site. Be sure to have a long hose, water hookups are very far away. Overall was a nice park to stay at. Camping is overseen by a bar/grill located on site. Bar/Grill has great food! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
