Went for a family reunion and had a great time! There is so much to do there it was hard to pack it all in one weekend. Staff was helpful and kind. Bathrooms and pool was very tidy and well maintained. They had cornhole tournaments golfing, children’s activities and even a friggin luau with free Hawaiian food!! The parks and basketball courts are all functional.. can’t wait to go back!!

Site was comfortable but average. desk help at check in was efficient and pleasant. Place was quiet - not many people around. Lots of permanent campers. Bath houses were clean. Location is alongside the I80 so you could hear trucks.

I’ll start this by saying this was year 3 at wolf’s and officially our last. Uneven sites, pine trees overgrown, hanging down so far even a travel trailer hits them. No control on noise, golf carts run well past the 11PM “quiet time”. Don’t stop at stop signs, especially the children allowed to drive them freely without adult supervision. Golf carts are allowed in the grass near the basketball c... I’ll start this by saying this was year 3 at wolf’s and officially our last. Uneven sites, pine trees overgrown, hanging down so far even a travel trailer hits them. No control on noise, golf carts run well past the 11PM “quiet time”. Don’t stop at stop signs, especially the children allowed to drive them freely without adult supervision. Golf carts are allowed in the grass near the basketball court & playground, drive far too fast for the safety of children. Even after dark! Pool is supposed to be family friendly, “swim at your own risk” and “watch your children” yet they call adult swim every hour for 15 minutes to give THREE lifeguards a “break” meanwhile they sit by the pool talking to each-other while children scream because they don’t understand why some people can be in the pool but they can’t. We were told adult swim should only be called if there is a certain amount of adults in the pool but we were not given the exact number, almost as if they don’t actually have one. Adult swim was called once yesterday, Saturday, July 19th, when there was ONE other adult that wasn’t a parent of the children in the group, I might add, she was not even near this woman. Why don’t they call adult swim for an hour at lunch time? 12-1? OR, adult swim where no children are allowed in the deep end? If we are required to watch our own children, then our children should have the right to swim at any time and not be kicked out because the teenage lifeguards need a “break” to sit and gossip. They barely watch the pool as it is when they’re actually on their post, so what’s the difference.

We were supposed to take our camper and provide entertainment for an evening, however the week prior my truck was involved in an accident and I wasn't able to pull my camper. So they gave us a park model for our 2 night stay and it was quite nice. Very clean and the folks at the campground were awesome!! Kind, courteous and very helpful. We will be returning with our camper once my truck is out of...
