It was nice that coffee was right there on the same property! We stayed over 4th of July and it was super busy, but Camp Richardson was close to everything wanted to do. We rented kayaks and took a boat ride to tour the Vikingsholm castle right from the marina.

My experience here was really well. The staff there were great and greeted me and my wife happily, even though it was late. They made sure we had everything to get settled in. Parking was good and we like that we can just walk down to the shore from the hotel. It was a really great stay.

8/10 Good

Liked: Amenities
Rustic summer camp-style rooms. The campgrounds are great and so is the location. You are steps from the beach, next to a quaint coffee shop, general store, and ice cream shop. Beds were very comfortable. But the major negative is there is no AC and they only have very weak fans. We were in an oven each night. So recommended for non-summer months!

The hot tub was low on water and filthy. Hotel, store, restaurant and ice cream parlor staff were exceptional! Coffee shop were borderline rude which took away from the other great staff!

Old hotel with plenty of charm. The staff were friendly and helpful and the local scenery was gorgeous. The bear warning are no joke was we saw several of them around the property. The negatives were circumstantial, but definitely impacted the experience: Our room faced the street and it was hard to sleep even with ear plugs. We stayed in July and on the second floor meaning hot hot nights since the best option for AC is the portable fan provided in the room.
