I haven't seen the cabins themselves, but I'm a full time RV "camper". The prices are the best anywhere, has a coin laundry on site, it's very quiet and peaceful, just a short drive to Waynesville township where you'll find plenty of great restraunts, a grocery, barber shops, post office and many antique shops. *edit* I wanted to update, I've been here almost a year, and I want to set the record straight about any of the negative reviews anyone may have read. If you follow the rules, police yourselves, and just enjoy the serenity of nature, then this place is for you. If i'm reading Walter (the owner) right, he is a good man with a big heart, one (like myself) with a limited tolerance for BS, but also a reasonable and compassionate guy, you just have to approach him with respect, and he'll show that respect back. When I first arrived I had a small 40lb propane bottle, it ran out quickly in the winter, Walter offered to loan me a 100lb bottle until i could buy my own, something he didn't have to do, and he never asked for payment, or attempted to tell me he was doing me a favor.
I stayed here for two months with my young son and husband. The owner was accommodating, made space for us with no reservation. Theres a playground and trampoline. Very quiet and there's laundry. No other amenities though, it seems there's repairs needed on multiple areas but I saw the owner fixing/improving nearly everyday. He will request cash and a large deposit, but always provided receipts and is a trustworthy guy.
I was told by the owner of frontier campground Walter himself that he would "bury me" if I put any negative reviews on here but I want to warn everyone. I would give zero stars if I could. Avoid this place at all costs. My son, boyfriend and I lived there for around 8 months and it was total hell. He made us get rid of our sweet mastiff because he looked like a pit. Walter labeled him aggressive because he was playfully barking at him (while wagging his tail). My Aussie barked for an hour while we were gone during the day and he told us randomly on a Friday afternoon at 4pm that we all had to leave that night or he would keep my $750 deposit. I asked him if we could stay until the school year was over so my son can finish school (2 weeks away) to which he said no. We were paid up until the end of the month and he kicked us out on the 11th and kept our money. He did say if I got rid of my Aussie and left my boyfriend that night that I could stay. REALLY odd request from a landlord. I had to literally beg for my deposit back even when we kept our end of the deal and left that night. He put us in quite the pinch having a matter of a couple hours to find a place to go and move there.he even tried to keep my flower pots that i planted hundreds of dollars worth of flowers in. He's also completely creepy around women he checks them out and makes them uncomfortable and tries to cause chaos in their relationships by saying their man is cheating on them or lying to them etc (did it to me and other women). My son's best friend lived across the street from us at frontier and now my son isn't even allowed to go over and hangout with him anymore because we dropped him and/or his friend off and picked them up (we obeyed the speed limit and did nothing wrong, just wanted to make sure my son and his friend made it to their destination safely). So now apparently my 11 year old isn't allowed to be around his best friend according to Walter. This isn't anywhere close to every problem we've had with him. He always carries a gun and is super unstable. He told me once he was gonna snap one day. I would stay far away from this campground if you don't like drama or constantly being threatened with being kicked out (he does this to almost everyone there except for his friends ). Thanks for taking the time to read this
As I read some of the reviews posted here, I find many of the comments false & misleading so I'm here to share our personal experiences. Walter, the owner, is kind, approachable & shows concern for our safety while staying here so when I read some of the disparaging comments about his demeanor with woman, well I was frankly blown away with the blatant & outright lies! I have NEVER felt uncomfortable around him & my husband hasn't either over the several years we've been coming here. I feel comfortable enough to have even been his office secretary for 2 1/2 years prior to retiring. I certainly wouldn't have done that had I had any misgivings about his character! My husband travels with work so my safety while he's gone is very important which is one reason we enjoy staying here. Walter has the grounds monitored by security cameras & he often patrols the grounds with a sidearm which is his absolute right & we certainly appreciate the added security in our behalf. If you're someone who has a problem with him carrying then you're just anti-gun. He doesn't put up with any riffraff and will ask people who cause problems or don't follow the very simple campground rules to leave so that others are able to enjoy their stay. I don't like reviews because, as in many cases I've seen, people will stretch the truth or outright lie which can be harmful to a business but more importantly is defamation of a good man's character! If you're looking to stay at a beautiful, quiet campground that's ran by a man that is worried about your safety & comfort while you're camping then this is the place to come....we love it here and it's largely because of the way Walter runs it for our benefit.
Full time camper here with a ton of experience. Frontier Campground is awesome! I've been to others that can't light a candle to this campground. Nestled in the woods, it's peaceful and a great place to self reflect. Plenty of wild life, bike trails, fishing, and boating all close by. Frontier Campground is safe and family friendly. The owner always has his camper's in mind. It's simple here: follow the rules, police yourself, and be respectful. From my point of view, if you want quick service, have a do as please attitude on business property, and promote stress, get a hotel room or stay home.
