Soaring Eagle Campground

Deeply disappointed. Right on highway. Sites about 10 yards apart. Bathrooms very basic — shower curtains from Dollar Store, hit and cold water taps reversed. Wifi not working. Electric hookup not working when we arrived. Extension cords for hookups literally run across the very little grass there is. No fire pits or grills. No privacy. All of this and — gulp — $ 42.00 + tax for one night! Stay away. Pizza guy wouldn’t even deliver here.

We stayed at this location once last year and were going to stay with them again this year but had to change our plans. This review covers both.
This paragraph is a review of the park. In regard to our stay, the sites on the lake are nice. They are level and have easy connections. Considering the close proximity to the highway, you get the feel of nature without having to be in the middle of nowhere. Regardless of where you are in the park, you will still be able to hear highway noise but its a small price to pay for convenience and the natural element. Minor hiccup — some of the residents were not very welcoming toward guests (ie BBQ confusion coupled with a resident who has had multiple beers equals a not very nice encounter). Resolution: management should identify which BBQ is for public use or residents should identify private use only.
In regard to our cancelled stay, we made a reservation six weeks prior to our arrival for our one night stay which was on a holiday weekend. We were advised the area we wanted was wide open and were able to select the site we wanted. The following day we realized we had to modify our route which took us nowhere near their location so we called them right away to cancel our stay. We were advised that there would probably be a penalty since it was a holiday weekend but she would have to check with the manager who was on vacation. I advised the clerk that we were not made aware of any cancellation policy (nor was there one noted on their website), that there were a lot of sites available when I phoned two days prior and that I was calling six weeks prior to the holiday weekend which I was sure our reservation had not caused them to lose any business. She advised that someone would get back to me. After three weeks and no phone call or credit to our card which was charged upon making the reservation, we disputed it with our cc company. Advisory — verify cancellation policy upon making your reservation to avoid a similar situation. Two stars is for the lack of defined policy, failure to return communication and/​or follow through with a customer who has an issue.
