Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The check in process was so easy so I appreciate that. But I felt like the room was a little dirty. There was chewed up gum on our door knob to the bathroom and the side of the wall so that was a little gross. And it was a little off putting that you could hear the other room going to the bathroom. I would definitely stay in the cabin part of the camp but not the motel part.
The view was fabulous

The location was great, it was in front of the lake, very beautiful. The room itself was one that none of us wanted to stay in again. The bed was shaky, and it barely had amenities, such as no microwave. Plus staff was too busy to accommodate the kids Camp, and always had to wait. When we asked new towel, the staff told me come back in another hour, but we were about to go to the hot tub, so we needed them at that moment, plus the front desk was far, so we needed to drive there… if they are so busy with the camp, why don't they hire extra stuff to deal with…

The room was clean and comfortable and check in was friendly. I loved the lobby! There's a fireplace and it feels like a cozy ski lodge. The only downside was that it was a bit loud because all the hallways are wood, so sound echoes. The other guests were not too loud, but I could hear people coming and going.

The place was immaculate. We arrived to check in just before 6 pm. Nobody was at the front desk and there was a note that someone would return at 6:15. When the girl arrived, she was rushed, made excuses for not being there and did not have a pleasant attitude. I didnt even have to express my annoyance that we had to wait because she was already making excuses.

Probably the best part of the stay was the friendly staff and the Big Bear breakfast burritos. I stayed at the Beachside Inn which was nice since I had easy access to the long dock, which allowed me to get on the water without being in the water. Staying right on the lakeshore provided amazing photo opportunities in the early morning.

Epic year

Ive been coming to Camp Rich for 68 years. Ive stayed in many cabins from Nash to Fleetwood. to the Marina Duplex and my favorite, Buick, to camping and the lodge. Im not happy about the new registration policy, as we'd been coming the last 2 weeks in July as a family with a group. This year we came in August. (Which is fine with me- i like being in Tahoe in August), but nexr year its around July 4th. Not thrilled with that. However, Camp Rich is a very special place fir my family. Our group is now on the 4th generation (in my family it is the 5th generation), so it is a tradition. And this year i had a blast. I have no complaints about the service or accommodations. I know what im getting when i come here. I stayed in Nash with my son's family for 2 days and despite the small shower, i spent so little time inside, i was just happy to be here. And this year my sister, who lives in Maine, and i havent seen her in 24 years, plus the 50 year anniversary of our Margaritta party, made this an especialkt epic summer at Camp Rich.
