Lazy Acres Campground review

I didn't make a reservation at Lazy Acres in Fayetteville, NC. We only needed an overnight spot on a Wednesday. I knew it was a gamble but figured luck was on my side in the middle of the week.  When we arrived the lady in the office was quite bothered that I didn't have a reservation. She wasn't quite sure what she was supposed to do next. She finally offered an electric/water only site. Since it was only for one night, I accepted. She then proceeded to find a reason to charge me for every extra thing she could: early arrival fee, extra kid fee, and full rate for the site even though it was an overflow site. She was also very concerned about the breed of my dogs. I told her that one was a Boxer mix and the other was a Parson's Russell Terrier. She asked me if they were aggressive. I told her I hoped not. She did give me a $2 Good Sam discount. 

Access to the park is easy and very close to I95. The road leading to the campground is a bit of a mess. The campground is very clean, the pool is spotless and the bath houses are new. The lots are level and spacious. There is no cable or wifi even though they claim to have both. There are a few full timers on the campground. (There were also 3 empty full hookup sites behind the bathhouse that we could have used instead of an overflow spot.)

My biggest pet peeve about this campground was all the rules. There were posted rules for everything! Barking dogs are a nuisance, children must be monitored, no hanging on the rope at the pool. In fact, when the kids and I finally made it to the pool, the owner showed up to check on us. He boasted about how clean the pool is and told us he worked hard to keep it that way. I feel quite certain that they kept an eye on us the whole time we were there. 

We won't go back. We are courteous campers and my whole family is respectful of other people. This place didn't make me feel welcomed. In fact, I felt like they were happy to take our money but watched the clock and counted down the hours until we were gone. 

I would have given Lazy Acres a 4-Brutus rating but because of the general attitude in the office I am rating it:
