Eagle Lake RV Resort - Strathmore

Me and my family have been here for 2 years now and last year was amazing and perfect but this year it seems as if the owner and most of the staff have just lost interest in the park and making the people in the park happy i hate to say this seeing as it looks and seems so wonderful of a place

Large % seasonal campers, connections for W,E are far - we needed an extra 30 foot extension for both. Interior roads very bumpy. Gravel lot was fairly level. Staff very helpful. Camp entrance gets Locked after 11 pm, with no key or electronic pass, but you can call office in emergency. No WiFi, and showers are $1. I believe that in high season a min of a week stay is required. If you want to see prairie dogs this is a great place, and they do have a few goats and chickens that one can feed.

Very friendly people. Staff and campers are great

Worst people I’ve ever dealt with we paid $500 and we ended up moving 5 hours away they would not give us our money back yet they rented our spot and charged those people too!! Very unprofessional. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The positive, staff are friendly and helpful and the place was clean. The mini farm is a nice idea and the animals look happy. Big tree. The negative, OVERPRICED. The amenities are old. Shower stall are small and only 1 was working at time of our visit. The lake is gross and no one go swim in that. The mini-golf is barely playable. The trees, most of em have broken branchs cause by the wind. This place can get crazy wind storm. I do not recommend to go camp here. The place need a change of ownership and serious investment to renew the amenities. The lake will never be clean because you can see lots of cow going in it, they drink and poop in the water.

I am very confused one person says very rude to people and the next one says very nice. Which is it ?

Staff was great, nothing bad to say since they were helpful and pleasant. My rating is due to fact that there seems to be 0 tolerance for a 5 yr old laughing and having a great time at midnight. Barely anyone there on a Thursday night but the 5 yr old was still told to use "your inside voice". This has never been an issue in any other RV place and does not sit riggt with me since camping is ALL ABOUT having a good time and laughing and sharing. Not impressed. Note that the lake closure and inability to swim didnt even factor into this rating and is strictly based on the over reaction of the situation. ease be aware of this if you plan on renting here and if your party may be an issue as per their criteria. Not worth the cost from our perspective.

Short answer: while the ground staff were friendly, and the bathrooms clean, the rest of the campsite was a big disappointment.
First off, 3 months in advance, I reserved a 30 amp, full service pull-thru site near the advertised “playground and petting zoo” to accommodate our 32’ trailer with slide outs. But when we arrived, we were directed by the office staff to another site, because they had put a work crew in the reserved site. As we started to drive to the alternate site, the staff member ran out of the office, waving her arms and yelling, “No, you can’t go to that site, you won’t fit!” She went back into the office then came out and gave us another site number, then as we started towards it, she stopped us again to inform it didn’t have 30 amp. As we started toward the third site she offered, she again ran out waving her arms yelling for us to stop, saying she’d just seen a note that that site couldn’t accommodate slide outs! We waited as she and another staff member squabbled about where or if we would fit anywhere. Then she told us to wait while she called someone to ask what to do. ? Ten minutes later, we were directed to go to the farthest spot from the playgrounds and petting zoo and were told to set up there: basically, on the edge of a field beside the meeting pavilion, volleyball net, and horseshoe pits. There was no full hookup at the site, just electricity and water from a post in the next campsite. Then we were given a garden hose and told to drain our gray water directly down the nearest gopher hole (?!) because the entire park is infested with gophers! The cute rodents are EVERYWHERE and their holes far outnumber them, so we had to be very careful walking anywhere so as not to twist an ankle in a hole.
Naturally, the children were keen to get in the water. So after setting up we carefully picked our way through the grass to the beach, which turned out to be a furrowed, hardened, dirt and sand strip where yellow foam, scads of green slime and clouds of algae pushed against the shore. A quick google search revealed Eagle Lake was under an advisory! When I asked staff why I wasn’t informed that we couldn’t swim in the lake, I was informed their “dogs swam in it all the time and are fine so it’s no big deal.” (!?) So we walked the kids up to see the petting zoo. It consisted of a calf, two sheep and two pigmy goats in a fenced area, completely enclosed. There were also a fenced area for turkeys, chickens, and one rabbit in a hutch. The birds were NOT friendly and the bunny couldn’t be held. At 9 am each morning the children could help feed the animals and the grandkids did enjoy that opportunity to pat the animals through the fence, until a child asked where they put the animals in winter, and a staff member loudly informed they all go in the freezer except the rabbit.
The playgrounds were awful. There were no swings seats on the large swing set. The teeter totters were barely out of the ground. The plastic Little Tykes equipment in the tots playground and the “fort” and slides in the bigger playground were all infested with spiders. There were webs in every corner and open space, some covered in flies and older ones blowing and sticking to any child that dared get close enough. The underside of the slide looked like a spider condo. A pressure washer could of taken care of both playgrounds easily, but it was evident the managers didn’t value the children’s safety or the park’s aesthetics enough to bother. The “hayride” was actually a trailer with benches that drove around the campsite. No hay.
We chose to leave and requested a partial refund due to no full hook up and not staying a full week, but they refused, despite the site being half empty. It was not as if they turned people away because of our booking. A big disappointment for our grandchildren’s first ever campsite. We won’t stay there again. It’s a pity- the place has a lot of potential.
