Leave it to me to buck the trend, but I didn't care for Castle Lakes. We stayed there only out of convenience because we brought a large group of kids to Camp Redcloud. We wanted to be close by in case of an emergency. I found the owners to be less than pleasant. They spend a majority of their time running around their domain enforcing their extremely long list of rules. While they do offer some kid-related activities, their actions showed that they were less than happy regarding having children stay there. They were concerned about kids too close to the pond, too loud at the playground, riding bikes too fast, being too rough with the pool table, too messy with the toys, and so on. Adults were also on their radar with those in Jeeps and ATV receiving a constant barrage of orders. At the time, I was working online and had to spend several hours a day in their main building since that was the only place to get a wifi signal. As a result of hanging out in the "lodge" often, I got to see the wound-up owners in action several times per day. In my week there, I had befriended those in surrounding campsites and before we left, they stopped by for a visit. The owners stormed up and chewed us out for having too many people congregated in my campsite. It goes without saying that I won't be going back. The relaxation factor of camping is removed when you are constantly tip-toeing around to avoid getting into trouble.
