Danforth Bay going downhill???

I was completely shocked to read about the conditions of my favorite campground that I was seasonal for three years (2006-2009) :

My thoughts:

* Activities: The best activities staff in the past was during the Nick and Sharlene years. It would be very hard to replace these two quality people!

* Playground: A new playground was promised at the 2008 seasonal lunch. This project I assumed never got started. I assume this was because of the economy. I agree the playgrounds at Danforth Bay were mediocre at best! I'm not sure how they received a 5 start Woodalls rating with playgrounds like these.

* Cutbacks in Maintenance: This saddens me the most because Danforth Bay had A++ plus maintenance staff. I hope they kept Rick, Scott, and Alan.

* Overbearing Security: I disagree with the poster. More security was needed especially at night time including some local police presence. This is a BIG campground. I personally did not feel completely safe at this campground (especially leaving my camper alone) during my last few months there.

* Trash Trailers: I agree! This is gross and unsanitary! Danforth Bay needs to come up with a better solution!

I've also heard about the cuts in the office from other sources and the lack of friendliness. Again I assume its because of the economy.

I certainly do recommend Danforth Bay!
