EARLTON HILL FAMILY CAMPGROUND LTD. - GREENE COUNTY, EARLTON NEW YORK ..STAY LESS AND PAY MORE

This very large group of people came in late on Friday night and managed to convince my staff that  3 sites would be ample when a minimum of 6 sites should have been reserved for this large crowd of adults and all their children.  Their noise carried on until 3:00 AM.  They basically took over several additional sites for parking purposes and for their children to play.  This was primarily because their tents and other belongings completely engulfed the 3 sites.  There was merely no room except for on neighboring sites.  They were warned twice about swimming only in the designated swim area as mandated by the NYS Health Department and to remain inside their boats when on the lake.  They basically ignored every rule of the campground when it comes to noise, encroachment on other sites, swimming, and boating.  When confronted about it, they would either cop an attitude, or tell you one thing and do the complete opposite.  This campground does have a very large seasonal base and we are proud of that.  When weekenders, such as the ones above, come in and think they are going to take over and make up their own rules, my best advise is to find another campground because this won't happen at Earlton Hill.  We have many fine weekend campers that come in and enjoy the campground weekend after weekend with no problems.  If you are a campground owner and would like additional information on these folks to prevent them from coming in and terrorizing your campground feel free to contact us via our website. 

I cant even begin to explain how disgusted and angry i am at this campsite. If you are looking for a place to get yelled at twice of three times a day this is the place to camp.  

Let me tell you my story, my family and i went camping at this location, and let me tell you it was a nightmare. 

To begin this is NOT a place for weekend campers, or tenters, or people who want to have fun, or enjoy a weekend. This a place where the seasonal camper calls the shots. According to Mark the owner, the seasonal camper is much more important than the weekend tenters. 

I had a big group with me with 5 kids, we had 3 sites and there were no weekend campers around us. Only seasonal campers.  In front of my site there was an EMPTY lot that someone who was NOT present paid the season. I cant stress enough there was NO ONE in that site, it was empty. The 5 kids in my party decided to play ball in that field, Mark the owner, was furious because we were touching that property, he said we were invading that property. I cannot believe that he would get mad over an empty lot. He is out of his mind. 

We brought with us 2 inflatable boats for the lake. the "beach" part of the lake is a little dirty, so in the middle of the lake we decided to swim, well folks if you want to get kicked out of this campground,  do exactly that. 

The manager, who is a jerk full of himself with a napoleon complex, decided to flex his muscles and kick us out because we challenged his idea of fun. 

Long story short, i believe the "new" owner has the same mentality as the old one, service was terrible, i served 4 years in the military and i can say i have been to happier bases than this campground. I STRONGLY suggest EVERYONE to stay away from this location and take your money where the customer is always right, not the stuck up wanna be owner or enlarged manager. Please feel free to contact me if you need further explanation.  

I purchased this campground in April of 2010 and we will soon be starting our second season. I have a professional management staff and you will find that many past practices have either been eliminated or improved significantly. I apologize for any negative past experiences and ask that you give us a second chance. We would like to prove to youthat weare one of the best campgrounds in upstate New York. Feel free to call me personally if you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Andersen, President

My family and I have been loyal campers of the Earlton Hills Family Campground since 1996. We have enjoyed the many years that we have spent there.

There is a nice lake for fishing and swimming, planned activites that my children enjoy. They like to get ALL campers involed in the activites. One of our favorite events is the olympic weekend, everybody in my family takes the time to participate together as a team.

I don't know any other campers that have had any problems there! The managment has always been eager to please every camper.

We all feel like family there. We have been there for along time and are planning to stay for many years to come!
