Aggressive host interaction- unsafe
Unfortunately, we had a very unpleasant and frightening experience.
Starting with the positives, the campsite is beautiful, with lovely natural surroundings.
Unfortunately, our stay was overshadowed by a very aggressive interaction with the hosts. After a misunderstanding involving the use of a floaty and a single piece of toilet paper that was accidentally dropped into the outhouse, the host entered our campsite yelling, swearing, and accusing us. We were later told the host has difficulty controlling their emotions.
We acknowledged the mistake and took responsibility. However, during the confrontation, the host tossed poop bags toward us while yelling, “You’re going to dig out that toilet paper from the shit yourself.” This was utterly shocking, unacceptable, and left our group feeling frightened and unsafe for the rest of our stay.
We were also uncomfortable learning that snapping turtles live in the pond, including one the hosts said had injured a child before! The hosts suggested we catch the turtle ourselves so it could be removed for our safety. We did so, and later learned they shot it.
Finally, the hosts came into our campsite multiple times each day and often stayed for extended periods. we felt it was intrusive and significantly reduced our privacy.
We wouldn’t recommend staying here if you are looking for a peaceful, private, and safe experience. Aggressive behaviour is never justified, and we are still shocked by the way we were treated.
