Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have been going here for over 10 years but never return and I have told everyone I know the same thing. I rented a trailer full hookup spot and there was a tent in my spo. No big Deal. I asked if I can move to a none full hookup spot and was told it would cost less and I would receive a credit on my card and that never happened. I called several times and I have documentation of the dates and whom I spoke with. I requested to speak with the manager Christal McPherson and she refused to talk to me. I continued to call and she later talked with me, said I would get a refund but made so many excuses. I never got the refund and they have stopped calling me back when I attempt to make contact. I am not done yet.

It was our first visit. We rented a 5 bedroom 2 bath house. We found the prices to be high for the quality of lodging and amenities inconsistant. Our lodging cost $650 a night. Upon arrival we found holes in walls, broken closet doors, interior door knobs with issues, running toilets, a deck in weathered conditionr with missing rails & exposed nails. Our bbq propane tank was empty. The Wi-Fi service did not work during our 4 day stay. We were told it was due to service provider issues. Saturday morning coffee cost $1.50 a cup at the lodge. Sunday I was told I had to get coffee from the resturant (the other side of the wall) It cost $2.50 a cup. We were handed expired half in half from July for creamer. We ordered a Bloody Mary only to disciver the bar tender had no idea how to make one. The mini golf course was unplayable due to blurs and lack of upkeep. Prices should be lowered or repairs made to justify price points. Pricing at the lodge and resturaunt should be consistant and staff trained better.

So loud. If you like a nice relaxing place this isn't it. Sheets stained. See picture. A furniture pin on the deck where someone really could have gotten hurt. To put "resort" in the name is misleading, this place is crap.

So, picture this: We decided to be spontaneous and take a last-minute camping trip to Sunbanks Resort over Memorial Weekend. Now, we've been to Banks Lake before and always had a blast, but this time we thought we'd try out Sunbanks. Well, let's just say it was an adventure. We shelled out almost $300 for three nights to snag a fancy site with water access that allowed pets. Sounds great, right? Well, our site, T94, was nestled in between some cabins and other random spots like it was an afterthought. Thorn everywhere making for an exciting tiptoe act each time we walked up to the toilets. We joked that it felt like we were staying in Shrek's swamp. But hey, it wasn't terrible enough to ruin our trip. When we arrived we found that our site was missing a fire pit, but after a quick word, the staff magically conjured one up for us. Kudos to them, they were nice and helpful with every interaction we had with them! We rolled in on Friday night, excited for a fun-filled weekend. Little did we know, the campground turned into a karaoke battleground every night until midnight. Yep, you heard that right, midnight karaoke extravaganza. It felt like the entire campsite was belting out tunes, whether we wanted to hear them or not. And guess what? The karaoke madness continued on Saturday and Sunday too. Talk about an unexpected serenade! Now, I can't fully blame Sunbanks Resort for this, but they do play a part. You see, there's no curfew enforcement around here. So, we had rowdy groups on both sides of us, laughing, shouting, and getting wasted without a care in the world. This party went on until a delightful 1:30 am on our first night. Just as we finally dozed off, BAM! Some early bird campers decided to wake up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am, making sure everyone was well-rested for the day. Lovely, right? Night two was a repeat of the previous night's noise fest. Loud, obnoxious neighbors, and all the shenanigans you can imagine. Then, at 1:30 am, our neighbors arrived in their boat, sporting gigantic spotlights that beamed right into our tent. When I politely asked them to move along, they responded with a symphony of verbal abuse. Ah, the sweet melodies of campground harmony! And, just for good measure, we were treated to another rude awakening at 5:30 am as another group decided to pack up and leave. By night three, we were beyond tired. This time, it was two groups of party animals. Drunk folks, blaring music, and laughter filled the air until a delightful 2:30 am. As if that weren't enough, some geniuses thought it would be a great idea to race around the campsite in their electric golf cart, screeching to a halt on the gravel until 2 am. At this point, I couldn't believe the audacity of these inconsiderate campers. And guess what? No noise curfew in sight! These weren't rowdy teenagers, mind you. No, we're talking about people in their 40s and 50s. Age is just a number, but apparently, it doesn't guarantee common sense. Needless to say, we returned home from our camping "adventure" utterly exhausted. Sure, we expected some sleep disturbance while roughing it in the great outdoors, but this was a whole new level of ridiculousness. In all our camping escapades, we've never encountered such chaos. It's a shame because Sunbanks Resort has potential. Maybe they should spruce up the place a bit given the prices, and for the love of all that's peaceful have someone keeping the rowdy guests in check!

We have wanted to come to this resort the last 3 years but after booking over the phone, we will never stay here. I just want to warn everyone if you book and have to cancel you have automatically lost 60% of your money. We have been Rving and camping for 30 plus years. Not ever had any campgrounds with that expensive policy. So it was $ 604.50 5 nights Cancel 4 days later,3 months in advance. 60% is $ 362.70 when I was told that I had asked what the cancellation policy was before I gave crystal the 3 digit security code. I understood it was 100% refundable and closer to arriving 15 days prior 60% and 7 days you would lose all of your money. Crystal says that’s not what she said anyway she refunded 80% 480.80 we lost $123.67 still doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.

I wrote this with no response Hi I am hoping to get a hold of the manager or owner of the campground. I am emailing hoping to get at least a partial refund for my recent stay at the campground. I paid $189 for my campsite and $78 for boat morage. We stayed August 19-21st. We were in spot 15 directly across from the store. First off when we arrived we found out the people camping behind us had a massive RV and they were too long for their spot so we could not use the full hookup that we paid for. We could not access our water or sewer. Second our kids could not play at the park because the swings and slide are broken. Then we had our boat in our mored spot and then they allowed a huge boat that was 30 feet squeeze in next to our boat and they moved our lines without our permission. When we complained my husband heard one of the other campers say they were going to sink our boat because we complained. Next we went to the restaurant where we ordered some chicken strips. They were raw in the middle, instead of being truly apologetic the manager kept making excuses about how thick the chicken was. Then the manager gave us our bill after saying my husband was rude and said no gratuity. Also the mens restroom only had one stall which was always busy. Then once night time came the cantina had extremely loud karaoke and people were screaming at the top of their lungs until after midnight. Our last night our neighbors were partying so loud until after midnight that my kids could not sleep in the tent. For our first day there was no soap in the woman’s bathroom. Finally, we kept smelling the septic system pretty much most of the time. We did not only spend almost $300 on our stay but we spent $150 in the store and restaurant once we arrived. I have a lot of friends that camp and we love the lake. However we had a big let down and can not refer our friends to go camp there unless my concerns are addressed and I can receive some sort of refund.

Just left and won't be back. The staff was nice. The camp site was aweful. The electrical plug in had a dryer receptacle not an rv, they didn't have an adapter that would work. The water barley had any pressure. Park was dirty and loud. The bathrooms smelled. They charged $7.56 for a 10 lb bag of ice and $35 a night to dock your boat. Crazy expensive.

We have been coming here for 18 years and probably won't be 19. The bank for your dollar has suffered greatly in the last few years. As the site prices increase every year you get less and less services. A) The power infrastructure is in dire need of an upgrade. I have ruined multiple 50 to 30 amp plug ins because of faulty breakers and bad over heated plug ins, and loss power every day over our 10 days stay. B) Compared to other resorts that have only power and water they are overpriced at over $80.00 a night. We have addressed the power issues over the last 5 years to no avail. If you have animals, do not leave them alone in your RV as they could be badly injured because of the heat due to all the power outages.

Much like Heidi's review ... I felt like I was in the twilight zone reading your review, as it must have been the same place we stayed at! The AC would not/could not cool upstairs AT ALL! It only went down to 70 degrees. ZERO supplies ... we had to ASK for potholders, kitchen towel and washcloth. Only one towel per person in the entire place. Toilets barely flushed. Thank goodness my children came a day later than us, as I had an entire carload of stuff for them to bring. Yup .. the patio table was caked in grease as was the side of the house ... and someone wrote on the other side. FILLED with little spiders inside. Beds were full size, not queen. A very small 24" TV in the living room on a short table - could not even see it. Kitchen was more than sparse. No paper towels. Limited tp for 10 people. One garbage bag. They expect you to go shopping the next day for items needed. I will NEVER stay here again. For what we paid ($850/night), it was not worth it at all. FYI ... I also have a short-term rental and we supply EVERYTHING! Ziplocks, saran wrap, foil, BBQ utensils, games, books, DVDs. This place was so incredibly disappointing. Buyer beware ... and pack everything, including the kitchen sink!!! Thank god it was summer and we could be outside as it would have been incredibly difficult to stay here if it were winter and we had to be inside. We got their Thursday night, and I woke up Friday morning wanting to leave already. I could not get out of there and home fast enough ... and I love adventuring to new places ... just not this one!
