    Overall, I do not recommend Camp Richardson as a vendor for many, many reasons. I booked the bbq area for a lake day event the day before my wedding (at a different vendor) as well as a room block. While the location is nice, it truly was not worth the added stress of dealing with such an unorganized group. Some of the biggest issues are below: 1) Communication was terrible. Multiple e-mails went completely unanswered, phone messages were never returned. Many times I had to repeat plans or requests that had already been discussed but clearly never recorded on their end. 2) I booked a room block...and it was messed up multiple times. One guest was never charged as they were supposed to have been when booked, one guest got a "block rate" (to this day don't know how or why they got this rate as we were told there was no discount for a block rate), one guest was told she needed my wedding coordinator to approve the booking (no idea why). Very inconsistent and again, just added more tasks and more stress for me. 3) The cherry on top was there was a sewage leak the week before the event. Camp Richardson did not notify me of this occurring which significantly impacted my event considering there was a swim advisory (recommendation was children should not be in the water due to risk of swallowing the water which had high levels of e.coli). When I found out about it and reached out, I was told multiple different recommendations and information based on who I talked to (the marina, the group events, or the hotel). I ended up calling US Forest Service in order to get a clear answer and ultimately had to change my event the day before.
