My brother reserved camp site 69 at West dam camp grounds. We got pushed out early by host due to new campers coming in before our scheduled leave at 4p.mWe proceeded to reserve a 2nd camp grounds where we were profiled and harassed.the staff peaks in your windows walking around the camp site we were told they were allowed to do this. Totally unacceptable in the 40 years that I have camped these past 8 days have been the worst experience of my life time the staff that makes the rules needs to be retrained send them to school they seem to have forgotten that rules apply to everyone but they seem to have people that are friends with the staff and allowed to do as they please while the staff turns there head,enforcing rules on the new guys constant harassment I feel me and my family were treated poorly and I hope that the people in charge of this staff at Carlyle campgrounds West step up to the plate and fix the malpractice.

Super hosts welcomed us to a clean quiet campground where the shower houses were immaculate & the grounds were maintained.

We stayed 2 weeks at Dam West campground in August at Carlyle Lake, Had a wonderful time the camping host was great switched my spots for me to a first come first served so I never had to move and was on the water for the whole time, always treated with respect, and a Beautiful park, took our bikes for a ride every day and went out on the lake a few times to fish , they were doing some tree maintenance I was happy to see , we have a nice camper and would hate to have a big branch fall on it. Also the week we were there there was a make-up fireworks show going on from Carlyle on the lake what a bonus, we always love it there when we go . Thanks for a great memory!!
