Holiday Trav-L-Park
Sep 21, 2009 by Cheri from Midway, GA

Overall Rating: 1

• None.
• Jets flying over from 9 am to 10 pm.

“The ad for this campground in Woodall's is very deceiving. It lists cable TV as an amenity but is only available on the Super Sites. No mention anywhere that they are in the flight path of the Navy, Air Station, the noise is horrible. We had a group of 7 RVs, if it had been just my family we would have left. The check in staff was very rude. Getting information at check in was like pulling teeth. We have been camping for about 15 years and I never been disappointed more in a campground. I will never recommend this campground to anyone.”

• Really nice super sites.
• Air base adjoining the campground.

“Facilities are very nice,clean, especially the super sites a must have! Some of the best sites we have ever stayed at. Lots for the children to do! To far from the beach( 2miles)! Pictures on the internet are just a little deceiving about biking to the beach especially with children to much traffic and intersections. The four swimming pools were a plus! The worst thing that we did not like and left early because of was the constant jets all day long very loud and disturbing. The campground joins the air base.”

• The park is nice.
• The staff/owner extremely rude.

“My encounter with the Holiday Trav-L Park was very disappointing. On two different occasions we went to use the parking only to find it was full, therefore I was not able to utilize the free parking and had to encore an additional cost for parking. When departing the park I expressed concerns to the staff/owner, I was extremely appalled at how my concerns were addressed. I brought to the owners attention about my concerns, the reply was she seriously doubt the happened and turned and walked away, my reply was excuse me I think you are being unfair only to be told by the owner it did not matter what my concerns were and I would no longer be welcome to the Trav-L Park. I have stayed at this park many times and have brought several groups with us. At this point I will no longer spend my hard earned money and I would encourage anyone not to stay at a faculty where your concerns mean nothing and where the staff/owner rudeness apparently was not the concern for the customers.”

• Music, many bath houses, bingo, ocean, great atmosphere etc.
• Mmmmm can't think of any.

“My family and I absolutely love this campground. The person who wrote a book on how noisey it is until 11:00 should stay in hotel becuase most campgrounds have a noise ordinance that usually ends at 11:00. We will be leaving for Holiday Trav L park this thursday for the 5th year in a row! Can't wait to get there to swim in the many pools by day and play bingo and dance the night away by the main pool at night. Lets not forget the ocean Holiday provides a parking lot right across the street from the ocean at no cost to it's campers!”

Pinboys At The Beach
Mar 17, 2008 by Charles from VA BEACH

Overall Rating: 1

• Great equipment. Very well maintained lanes.
• Not courteous in any way.

“Not for the general open bowler. They only care about leagues and birthday parties. I was hitting the best score ever in my life while bowling with my children. Working on my 6th strike in a row, I left one pin. The machine dropped and left the alley empty. I asked them to set the pin so I could try and break 200 for the first time ever. They told me no, and informed me that is a service that only league players get. An attendant came over and completely reset the frame without even explaining what he was doing. No personal customer service. I will not go back.”

• We did not feel safe knowing the guard does not respond after hours.
• We did not feel safe knowing the guard does not even answer the phone.

“Very noisy late at night. The guard does not answer the phone. I let the phone ring for 10 minutes, twice. No response.”

• Cleanliness and lots of entertaining things to do.
• None that I can note.

“My family has stayed at this campground for 2 years in a row now and we enjoy it more each time we stay! The price is great and there is so much to do at the campground itself that you don't really have to leave if you don't want to. They have a parking area at the beach or take the trolley either way is convenient. This is a lively place with lots of sites and sounds to take in and lots of entertainment for the campers. Our kids love this campground and so do we! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some vacation fun! If I had to list a drawback it would be the bathroom cleaning schedule but hey just go to another of the convenient facilities. I would rather have clean facilities than have a need to complain because they weren't being cleaned.”

• Music, activities, close to beach and other attractions.
• Bathhouses not the cleanest, tent sites a little too close together.

“I went here for the first time in summer 2004. I thought it was fantastic. The music at night made everything lively. Just what you want when you're on vacation. The bathhouses weren't the cleanest, but wear sandals in the shower and you're all set. I can't wait to go back this summer!”

• Proximity to beach, bike path.
• Very poor management, unresponsive staff, extreme noise late into night, dirty bathhouses.

“Our group of 4 adults and 2 children were in Va Beach so that 3 of the adults could participate in a half marathon being held there. This campground provided what we thought was a reasonably priced alternative to the oceanfront hotels associated with the race. However, the price quickly went up with the addition fee for any more than 2 people per site and an additional fee to have 2 cars on the site. The biggest problem with this campground is the intolerable noise at night that goes on until 11:00pm. It is impossible to ignore this when you are camping in a tent. Our first night there, we were unable to carry on a conversation at our campsite because of the DJ performing at a pavilion directly adjacent to our site. We had to put the children to sleep in the car to try and drown out some of the noise that was keeping them awake. When we called the office to ask that it be stopped, they said that it would "only" go on until 10:30 and it was our responsibility to check the activity sheet for the night. The activity sheet made no mention of music at that pavilion that night. The following night was much the same, despite the fact that everyone in the campground who was running in the race needed to be up at 5:00am. The third night was a repeat of the previous two. When we registered a formal complaint, we were told that they would be willing to refund one night's stay. However, when we checked out, they had not done this and the person at the desk stated that she was not authorized to do so and we would have to talk to a manager, who was not present. Five days later, we have left 6 messages for that manager, and have not received a return call or refund to date. One other recurrent problem was the fact that the bathrooms were closed for cleaning every morning from about 8:30-10:00, which seems like an odd time since there were lines of campers waiting to take showers, etc. The location of this campground is great and may be OK for those with RVs who can close their windows and doors to the noises outside. For the price we ended up paying, we could have stayed at Disney World.”
