Detailed Reviews
Prices drastically increasing while services going downhill. Advertised gym and hot tub as amenities but there is no gym just an empty room. When I asked about it they said they were going to make it a kids activity center, which I couldn’t understand because they already have that at the pavilion. Hot tub was broken. We got pizza for lunch one day and another camper said oh you got pizza they were out of food yesterday. The pool bathrooms were disgusting. They were locked one day and I asked to have them unlocked and was told they had so many complaints about them being dirty they just locked the doors. The gentleman combing the beach and doing trash did a great job. The pool was well maintained. The people working there for the most part were friendly.

We stayed in one of the cottages. It says it can sleep up to 6 people but trust me, it is meant for no more than 4. It is very cramped. They have the ac units up on the walls. It spit out black ice and was leaking water onto my mom while she was sleeping the first night. Called someone and they came out and did something to the back and said maintenance was supposed to come the next day (Monday). Maintenance never did. Ac was still leaking Tuesday so we called them back. They came over and turned it off and put a window unit in. Room is very damp from the window unit being in. It is now Wednesday and the ac unit on the wall is covered with water and is still dripping everywhere even though it is turned off. No matter what it is either going to drip onto your bed or onto your bags because the room is so incredibly small. The other unit out in the main part does not do a good job at all keeping the rest of the place cooled down. You could have it on 75 or 61 and it would feel the same. They have WiFi here but it NEVER works and you have horrible signal. We paid for the upgraded WiFi and it does not even stay connected let alone work so that was a waste of money.

Enjoyed a brief weekend stay during windy May weekend. We were at one of the few tent sites, lots of nice RV neighbors and amenities (pools, arcade, activities) that must be nice in height of summer. Small beach, separate dog beach, lots of buzzing around on golf carts but everyone was nice and respectful. Wifi was weak, limited hot water in beautifully maintained bath houses, easily accesible dumpsters etc. Family members with large RV selected gated area closer to water and were thrilled with set up and options.

Almost got runover by drunk drivers on golfcarts coming home from the ice cream spot. Pool is way too crowded, warm and cloudy.
Sun outdoors RV wants to charge 3100 next year for a dinky two bedroom cabin with a freezer that doesn’t work.
Totally not a good value at all. These cabins are only for two or three people.
There is no boats, boating or boat launch according to the staff, they are not allowed to dredge the bay to support this.
Basically just a place to get drunk.

After 30 years of coming to this campground, our family is sadly ending our tradition here. Last year, we requested to book the same sites for our annual family vacation. We assumed we were reserving our usual spots, only to arrive and find out they were completely different sites, scattered apart.
The lady at the front desk insisted there was no mistake on their end, despite the obvious confusion and inconvenience it caused for our family vacation. Booking sites next to each other is crucial for us, especially with young kids, and it was disheartening to encounter such dismissiveness.
Even the manager's response was disappointing. There was no effort made to rectify the situation, no attempt to find adjacent sites, and not even a simple apology for the mix-up. It felt like our loyalty and long-standing patronage didn't matter.
Regrettably, after this experience, we can no longer continue our yearly visits here. We expected better customer service and understanding from a place we've cherished for so long.
Moreover, we've noticed a concerning trend of rising prices without corresponding improvements in campground facilities or services. It's disappointing to see the decline in quality over the years.

We’ve been coming to this campground for over 10 years and it has really gone downhill!! Not only are we paying outrageous prices but nothing is open!!! The hot tub was closed, the bars were closed, the coffee and food places are closed! And the store closes at five. Hopefully you don’t need anything after 5 o’clock!! The bathrooms are disgusting, the picnic tables are falling apart!! Everything is looking used and old!! To top it all off they now want you to spend $90 more to reserve the same horrible place for next year!! NO WAY!!! You have now lost our business! I am sure you will respond on how “things are going up in the area” but $90 a night and spending over $200 a night for a piece of land that’s ridiculous and you are taking advantage of people!
Very sad!!
The only nice thing about this campground are the sweet people who work there and have to listen to people complain all day!! Hopefully they take better care of their employees than they do their loyal campers!!

Before I review this RV/Camping Resort. I just want to point that our family tent and RV camps a lot. I highly doubt that we will come back to this facility. The bathrooms were disgusting the entire 4 days we were there. Sanitary pads, toilet paper all over the floor, toilets full of pee and poop Unflushed. Not just the womens bathroom but the mens as well. Not sure if This speaks of the people staying here. When I spoke to management, they said they would send someone to clean up but that never happened. We kept our bathroom usage to a minimum and it was all their bathrooms not just one. Very disappointed, especially at the rate we paid to stay here. We have stayed at better maintained facilities for half the cost.
For entertainment- the resort has a lot to offer. Arcade is nice, camp store is well stocked. Beach and pool areas can get extremely crowded. Water is calm at beach for kids.

The property is beautiful, however, we paid $220/night for an RV hook up. Most of the amenities were not in working order. Hot tub was broke, no jet skis as advertised, fitness center empty,no equipment, paddle boards/kayaks were closed 2 out of 3 days we were there. Shuttle out of the park was broken. We paid for amenities that weren't available. And trapped there unless we brought another vehicle.

I attempted to book using the 33% advertised code... the site continued to apply the 20% code... so I called the number. I received a call back this morning. The representative couldn't get the 33% code to work either. I said, "So it's not real?" She told me that it IS real, but there are blackout dates. I told her that the blackout dates are not during the time I am trying to book. She said there are other blackout dates. I asked what they are; she said they aren't listed anywhere and to make to code work you need to continue to play with the dates. So we did. Nothing during that timeframe (early June) would work. Classic bait and switch, my friends. So disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I just successfully applied the discount to an example booking of an RV site and also a vacation rental using the example dates June 4-8 through our website. Be sure to check the date exclusions by going to the Special Offers section of our website and expanding the Use Promo Code section. Enter the promo code 23SPRING33 at the final payment stage of checkout.

What a disappointment to try and book for next year and the rates have gone up YET AGAIN! Near $200 a year is unheard of. We've camped here for 10 years with family and friends and due to the rate increase with ZERO extra added to make up for the cost, this will be our last year ( and that is only because we are booked). SHAME on this company for these rate increases.
I just got back from a 7 day cruise that was cheaper than this.
Your campground and grumpy staff is definitely not worth a portion of what your next year rates are worth. And 1/2 down, give me a break!
Good luck staying in business.

No, there are no summer seasonals. We offer up to 29-day stays that can be booked directly on site. We may be adding some annuals, but has not been determined at this time.
Hi. I’ve never stayed at a tent site but they do have some nice ones with a platform to set tent up on and some are by a little stream. Tent sites also look like they can accommodate a fairly large tent and lots of “tent gear”. Hope this helps😁
Unfortunately we have never been to Castaways in July so I am of no help to you🥴 Hope you have an awesome time!
It’s a great location for a festival. The bands are top notch.
Really nice little cabins. Everything you need for a weekend.
