Camping In The Clouds/mineshaft Bar & Grill

Not even going to give it one star. Park model was a dump. Kitchen drawers and cabinets were so full of mice droppings. No curtains or blinds on windows. Couch had a big hole in it. Nothing was cleaned. Central Air conditioner didn’t work. Had to give us two window ones. No dishes or pots or pans.no silverware. Fridge was digusting . Advertise a pool and it was filthy and closed. Stayed two months. Paid for four months. Wouldn’t give us any refund. All the trim was broken. Screws and nails sticking up thru the floor. Back sliding door on bedroom wouldn’t close all the was. Big drop off no deck or steps out door. Dangerous Left early as the conditions were terrible to live there. Had to leave. Had to go buy curtains for the kitchen window. Bedroom windows. Shower curtain. Curtains to use for door between the bedroom and hallway and bathroom. No doors. Bad experience

We stayed in the park model. We were never told to bring our own linens, had to go to Family Dollar and buy sheets, towels. We were told this was the best place in the campground, it is just like home with what is available. We we arrived we were told they just finished cleaning it. We walked in and the refrigerator door and handle dirty, there was crumbs in the ice bin. The light switch by the door had a bunch of black fingerprints on it. There was shampoo left behind as well as a half jar of peanut butter. The coffee pot looked like it was barely rinsed and left to dry, with coffee stains running down the pot. After scrubbing multiple times and running water through the pot to clean it, we used it, but no coffee cups. It said a queen bedroom, but it was only a full bed, no way 2 grown adults to sleep in it. They gave us a key to the patio door on the deck by the living room. The bedroom but the sliding door on the bedroom has no deck, straight fall down about 5-6 feet. Also would not shut all the way, the handle was put on backwards. There was a lot of decon and ant traps in the place, made me wonder what was crawling around. The only reason we stayed was lack of other places at last minute and our friends were camping there. Their camp sites, the grass was a foot high and took 3 days before they cut it. This campground could be great if someone would take time and put some money into it.

I made arrangements 2 weeks ago to bring my camper here to store and stay for work purposes only I was quoted a price. I called to confirm and was told that my quote was no good that the women I was speaking to was the owner and would not give me what I needed for the price I was give now I am in a huge lurch. Start a contract and have no housing.

My boys and I wandered from our hot Dodge Caravan into JR’s on our Sunday drive, only to find out that the kitchen was closed, and not re-opening anytime soon. A friendly patron drinking vodka named Geoff suggested we visit the Mine Shaft, a little down the road and still on our way home. I was intrigued by the idea of drinking at a mine, as drinking at mines has a storied history in my family. My pappy, grandpappy, his grandpappy and his grandpappy all used to drink at mines and I was proud to continue this family tradition. A Busch Light “Welcome Hunters” sign greeted my boys and I at the entrance, and although none of us hunt, I knew we would fit right in. (My son programmed our beige Compaq computer with Windows 98 to play “Big Buck Hunter,” which has allowed my boys to experience the thrill of unloading a clip on three beautiful stag while learning valuable outdoor skills without a cumbersome safety course. A friendly patron, Marty, treated us to some fun facts on the history of the mine, which goes 420 feet below the earth (not deep enough for my dad to drink, but pretty close. For more context on my father’s drinking restrictions, please read my review of Richard’s of Dunbar, found about a half hour south on Highway 8.) We greatly enjoyed our Bloody Marys - the pickled garnishes and spices made for a warm winter blanket that maintained my body temperature while we were separated from our hot car. The shrimp taquitos took us south of the border (with Michigan), and my fried fish sandwich was crispy and delicious. Make sure you get the potato wedges, too! The bathrooms were neat and tidy, and my boys got to enjoy the television program educating them on the rescue of a tavern in Florida. So long Mine Shaft - we’ll be back!

I’d like to start out with the positives: it’s in a quiet and serene location just like you’d hope for while camping. Employee who helped us was accommodating even though very busy tending to his other duties. Over all was very laid back and chill. Which was great because that’s what I was looking for. But laid back and chill should not negate the carelessness that comes with the inside of the cabin. I was not looking for luxury. I know what to expect when you are camping but the nightmare that came to be when I opened the cabin door is inexcusable. $65 a night is a far stretch for a splinter ridden bench that you can’t even sit on outside the cabin and a box spring that looks ridden with mold and bacteria. The walls are stained with who knows what and it’s just dirty dirty dirty all over. I’m sure it’s a nice place when you bring your own camper, but please save yourself the headache of reserving a cabin. The grounds have potential and would be nice to see it cared for a little more. My boyfriend ended up getting really sick on our way up and we couldn’t stay more than an hour for obvious reasons. Owner and worker were very understanding. No charges occurred, but we won’t be back. Kind of a shame because I have heard about this place for years. Hopefully it turns around at some point.
