Nice trailer park. Not a very good campground! My wife and I stayed at Apple Island Resort in May 2023 in our 5th wheel trailer. The campground map looks very large with many sites in 3 categories. However, THIS IS A TRAILER PARK with some campsites. (see below) The majority of the park (70%?) including almost ALL of the “silver”, or lower priced sites, have permanent trailer homes on them. With decks and additions and sunrooms and brick or stone walls, around gardens, parking spaces, etc. For... Read More

Nice trailer park. Not a very good campground! My wife and I stayed at Apple Island Resort in May 2023 in our 5th wheel trailer. The campground map looks very large with many sites in 3 categories. However, THIS IS A TRAILER PARK with some campsites. (see below) The majority of the park (70%?) including almost ALL of the “silver”, or lower priced sites, have permanent trailer homes on them. With decks and additions and sunrooms and brick or stone walls, around gardens, parking spaces, etc. For the most part the trailer park is nice (although there are a few that are run down and need A LOT of work!) When we were led to our site, our reaction was immediately “We are camping in someone’s back yard in a trailer park!” We were told that the site we were assigned that it was long enough for our 5th wheel trailer and pick up. Not even close. Had to park truck on grass. Luckily we had no rain, but there was torn up grass/mud in our site from the last time there was rain. There is an area for camping, It is a large field (NO trees) BUT the sites are set up for class A, B, or C RVs to pull into the site. THE UTILITIES, INCLUDING WASTE DRAINS ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE for a trailer! None are pull through sites. This “resort” should advise that they do NOT ACCOMMODATE any RV other than a Class A, B or C. Bath house in our area was a bit old but was very clean. But it is probably rarely used as most people use the bathrooms in their house or trailer. (like us). It was so unused, that the grass around the bath house was well over 1 foot tall! NOT PRETTY! When I made the reservation, I was advised to pay a $30 LOCK FEE, so that we would not be camping next to the golf course. HOWEVER, there are NO transient campsites within 1000 feet of the golf course! WHAT A RIP OFF!! The employee was nice, but knows nothing about the property!! When I complained to the manager, he said he would refund the $30. I NEVER RECEIVED THE REFUND!! Somehow, this “campground” received a 10/10/10 from Good Sam. My wife and I camp 40 to 50 days a year. Have been camping for over 40 years. We have camped from Nova Scotia to Florida in the last few years. We have never before been the least bit disappointed with a Good Sam rating. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME AND BOY WAS IT WRONG! The facilities may not be a 10, but they nice. The restrooms were clean (see above). The appeal? NOT A 10! MAYBE A 4! We had come from a campground in New Hampshire that was rated an appeal of 8. Next to a river. Large pine trees. Quiet. MUCH nicer that this. Note that the website states the the resort on on Lake Champlain. It sort of is, but it is across the main highway with NO SIDEWALK access. You have to drive or walk along the shoulder of the highway. There is NO beach as shown in the photos. In fact, the photos only show about 30% of the resort, if that. BOTTOM LINE: Only camp here if you have a class A RV. Staff is friendly but not well trained and are VERY UNINFORMED about camping and the campground area. (One person did not even know what a 5th wheel trailer is!?!) Try to verify anything you are told which is not in print or online! WE WILL NEVER CAMP HERE AGAIN!

We were recently at Apple Island for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Campsites were spacious, everything was clean when we arrived and we had a camp host escort us to the site. There is garbage and recyclables pickup at your site daily in the bags provided, all hookups were conveniently located, site was level and the overall vibe was relaxed. We visited the campground store a few times and found both the selections available and the prices to be reasonable. Everyone we came in contact with,... Read More

We visited the campground store a few times and found both the selections available and the prices to be reasonable. Everyone we came in contact with, both other campers and employees, was friendly and seemed to be enjoying themselves. All of the facilities were clean and in good repair. The heated pool and hot tub were both at good temperatures and the water was crystal clear. We will definitely be back and recommend this campground to everyone.

We wanted to get a last camping trip in at the end of the season and decided to go somewhere close to home. The campground has been around for many years and the location is great, but we never thought that the campground was that great. This is one of the last campgrounds open in the area come mid to late October. We decided on a full hookup site towards the rear of the campground. The better sites with views (my opinion) are located at the front of the campground. The campground is very clean... Read More

We wanted to get a last camping trip in at the end of the season and decided to go somewhere close to home. The campground has been around for many years and the location is great, but we never thought that the campground was that great. This is one of the last campgrounds open in the area come mid to late October. We decided on a full hookup site towards the rear of the campground. The better sites with views (my opinion) are located at the front of the campground. The campground is very clean and it has a nice layout. We had an issue getting into our site. The pull through sites in the rear (at least ours) was difficult to get into. A seasonal camper helped us out telling us to drive around one of the loops to get into the site from a different approch. We walked around one day and found the preferable sites (again,my opinion). The campground has had a lot of work done with many of the facilities being brand new or recently built. WiFi is free, but you are not able to view videos or stream music. You just get basic internet access. This was fine for us. Many of the other local campgrounds charge for WiFi. Showers were also free and bathrooms were very clean. The office people were very nice and helpful. They even provide garbage bags and recycling bags for each day you are there. You do not need to search or walk to a dumpster or garbage bin. Leave the garbage out the following morning and someone comes by to pick it up. We were very pleased with this campground and will come back. We can't wait to use the facilities when the weather is warm.
