A good surprise!
We loved this space, it is definitely more camp vibes than a hotel, which kind of surprised us but as long as you dont mind that, it is a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay here again! Their hot water is quick and lasts a long time so no worries about that if thats you least favorite part of camping like me :) it was just far enough from town and an easy, quick walk to the lake!

Was ok
I ended up leaving a day early. I came to rest and they were setting up for Oktoberfest so the noise during the day was a lot. They were dropping tent poles and yelling. Room was small, the refrigerator was small and there was no TV. I would have stayed had it not been for all the noise.

Beautiful location and quick walk to the lake. Be sure to take trail through Pope Estates. Go back in time and see these old cabins. The general store across from hotel has a nice little restaurant as well as fully staffed store. The ice cream shop across the road is definitely a one scooper as they don't skimp on filling your cone or sundae cup😁. Will definitely return to Camp Richardson.

This is a very old wooden hotel, plus has cabins and camping facilities. Our room shower mixer was falling off the wall. They had no one to fix it and the only other showers available were down the road on the first night. The next night they "fixed" the shower but it did not have hot water, so this time we got a key to use another rooms shower. Heaters were on and we couldn't turn them off and we cooked at night. Very limited room facilities, a fridge so small it only would hold vans of drinks. I would not stay here again. No refund or discount offered and was refused when asked.

Felt like camping
Very minimal room. No TV and no air conditioner. Couldn’t open bathroom door all the way because of toilet position. Pillows were very flat, had to go buy our own for the two night stay. Check in was very easy, grounds were super clean and it smelled very clean inside. We did enjoy the store, coffee and ice cream that was right there.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed here for a week. It was very fun! It is definitely more of a campsite than we thought. The rooms have no AC so that was a bummer but we stayed outside by the lake most times. The restaurant is expensive so we never ate there but they are always super busy. Also every single morning at 6:30AM the garbage trucks come and woke us up everyday. That was a bummer. But it was nice.

Great motel unit room next to beach!
The beds were very comfortable. We stayed in motel unit, small but OK for us since we weren't in there a lot. Had a small fridge. Super close to beach and restaurant, 5 min walk to a coffee shop/general store. Very affordable for such a great location. Room was a bit stuffy at night because it was August; we had window open and heard delivery trucks early in a.m. There was an adjoining room where we could both hear each other through the walls.

In order to keep air moving in and out of the room to cool it down at night, you need to leave the blinds and windows open. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of light pollution around the hotel. This includes from the street. The hotel is clean, and the water pressure is good. It’s difficult to locate staff and information from time to time. There is no bottled or filtered water provided except for lukewarm water for tea.
