点评:We have been camping at Grand Lake Campground in St. Marys, Ohio for several years in a row, meeting up with family from out of state. In the past, it’s always been a highlight of our summer – friendly staff, welcoming hosts, and clean amenities made it a place we looked forward to returning to.
Unfortunately, this year’s experience was noticeably different. From the moment we arrived, there was a sense of negativity in the air. It quickly became clear that the campground is dealing with budget cuts — the staff and hosts didn’t seem as engaged, and several campers we spoke with echoed our disappointment.
One of the biggest letdowns was the swimming pool, which had always been a favorite feature. It was closed all week except for Saturday, which was frustrating given the summer heat. The bathrooms and shower buildings, which were previously well-maintained, were not up to the standards we've come to expect.
To be honest, we ended up having more fun at off-site attractions than we did at the campground itself. While we have many fond memories from past visits, we sadly don’t plan on returning next year unless some significant improvements are made.

可惜的是,今年的体验明显不同。从我们到达的那一刻起,空气中弥漫着一种消极的氛围。很快我们就发现,露营地正在削减预算——工作人员和主人似乎不太投入,我们采访的几位露营者也表达了同样的失望。
最令人失望的是游泳池,它一直是我们最喜欢的设施。除了周六,它一周都关闭,考虑到夏季的炎热,这真是令人沮丧。浴室和淋浴间以前维护得很好,但现在却没有达到我们期望的标准。
说实话,我们在营地外的景点玩得比在营地玩得还开心。虽然我们对过去的访问留下了许多美好的回忆,但遗憾的是,除非做出一些重大改进,否则我们不打算明年再来。
