Peter McIntyre County Park

"My husband had made a reservation with the McIntyre campsite office days before we arrived. We received an email confirmation. Yet, we arrived and the office was closed all day on a Wednesday. No note was left for us on the bulletin board and no mention of the closure was mentioned when the reservation was made. We called the office number and just a recording that they were closed. Horrible way to treat people traveling! Try learning from KOA, they are excellent with all their procedures. Oh and by the way, the campsite office NEVER called me back when they opened the next day!!"

"Horrible customer service! We had talked to them in April of 2023 about having a wedding ceremony here (1 hour span, 1.5 hour maximum) and were told there would be no charge as long as we weren’t having the reception there as well since it isn’t full day use. I was told to call back about a month before the wedding to confirm the details. Fast Foward to about a week ago, One month before the wedding. I called to confirm that everything was still good to go and we were told there was new management and any prior arrangements had been “lost”. so we went ahead and went down there and talked to the park manager and was told it shouldn’t be an issue and if we would like to come the day or 2 before to set up our area it would be best and to call him a week prior so that he can be sure that the lawn was nice and once again, it was confirmed since we won’t be there all day long we wouldn’t need to pay anything. Then today we get a call from a woman, who says she wanted to get more information on our wedding ceremony. i let her know the day and the time we would be there and how long it would last, i made it clear we wouldn’t be there any longer than 1.5 hrs (guests arrival + ceremony time) and she let me know that since there’s new management that whatever was told to me before was incorrect and not up to policy. She let me know that we would have to pay $20 per car just to have our hour long ceremony. she says huddle up and make people carpool it will be cheaper. i said okay so we can have shuttles come then and it would be cheaper? (vanpools fit about 8 people per van) and she says no it will be lots more. so why tell us to huddle up? i then tell her we have had lots of family and friends get married here in the past and we have never had to pay for ceremony’s. On top of this, we have been coming here for YEARS and have lots of gatherings here and never had that issue. she says they charge 3,000 for receptions (more expensive than anywhere in town) and i let her know that we wouldn’t be having a reception there, just the ceremony and once again she said she would have to close the park down so we would need to pay. why do you need to close down the park for 1 hour? its not necessary nor did we ask of that. i told her that $20 per car is a little excessive if we aren’t going to be there for the full day and only an hour and she let me know that guests can feel free to stay after the wedding. How can they if they will be going to the reception site afterwards? MORAL OF THE STORY: you guys should have honored the previous arrangements that were planned with 2 different people prior! instead you want to call and hit us with this huge problem a month before the wedding and having us scramble to find a new ceremony site. Horrible customer service and will never use this park again! To be clear as well: if this was went about the correct way then we would have no issue paying but the whole run around we have been having to do is ridiculous! and 3,000 bucks for hour usage is INSANE!"

"Wow! New owners and it absolutely shows! Beautiful beach and green grass everywhere! Perfect oasis in the desert. We even saw 3 wild horses across the water. They don't have FHU but they come dump for you so no hassle at all. Electric and water at the sites and so much space. Super nice staff. Office and store are now open on the regular 9-5 schedule and they're super nice and accommodating."

"I recently visited Peter McIntyre County Park and was amazed by its wonderful beach area. The nearby bathroom facilities were convenient and well-maintained. Although there was a charge to enter the park, I found it to be well worth it. One thing to keep in mind is that it can get extremely hot during the summer months, so make sure to cover up and bring plenty of sunscreen. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful park."
