Memorial Day weekend - Cutty's Sunset Resort

We spent the entire weekend with my family and two friends and their families. We really had a great time despite the wet conditions. In case you don't know, it has pretty much rained the majority of the spring (and is continuing into the summer) so the campground was saturated to begin with and the rain each night didn't help matters at all. Add to that, Bryan getting his vacation time messed up and well I wasn't a happy camper at first. But like everything, we made the best of it and off we went to the campground. Thankfully Bryan was able to salvage some of the trip as he joined us on Saturday night after work. Yes, this means yours truly had to tow our camper TWO hours. I was a nervous wreck. At one point, I couldn't figure out why my feet were hurting so bad and I realized it was because I even had my TOES clenched. We made it there in one piece though and had a great time with everyone. And even better was that the weather shaped up on Sunday and we were able to enjoy the pool and the childrens' play area (which is why we picked this campground). The campground also had lots of planned activities - a hayride type thing, parachute fun and so on.

I have also decided that I'm going to review campgrounds this year so here's my thoughts:

I am doing bathrooms first b/c quite honestly they tend to make or break my visit.

Bathrooms - ALWAYS very clean. I saw staff there 2/3 times every day cleaning up mud (which was a lot due to the weather) and checking on the conditions. Also the shower stall in the bathroom by our sites was very nice and spacious. I always appreciate a bigger shower area b/c I'm typically showering the kids with me. Downfall to that - only one shower in our bathhouse. There were more bathhouses though.

Sites - my friend had one that wasn't great due to weather (swampy) but thanks to the wonderful staff, she was quickly moved to another site the next morning. Sites were definitely spacious and that is always appreciated.

Amenities - the playground was very nice and mostly modern with the exception being the merry go round. Yes they still had one. This seems to be pretty par for the course for most campgrounds though. However the playset for the kids was very new and in good shape. The pool and sprayground area was amazing. I think online it said it had just opened last year. Very well maintained and a lot of fun. The planned activities were great.

Staff - absolutely awesome. Everyone was so nice and accomodating. At one point a seasonal camper was having issues with their drain pipe and a staff member saw it on his rounds. Not even 10 minutes later, they were fixing it.

Activities in the area - I did not leave the campground this particular trip but my parents and some of my friends did. They hit a flea market just up the road and said it was very nice and HUGE. Also WalMart wasn't too far which made it nice for refills of....pop.

Rate - $29 per night

I can't think of any more categories but if I do I'll update.

I am going to give this place an overall rating of EXCELLENT especially given the rate per site! Very good value!
