My husband has tried to reach out numerous times, no one answered. Very unorganized and unprofessional. I'm not trying to come off as a Karen but I genuinely have never had this type of service before. Moved his stuff without telling him. You guys need to be more professional and learn how to give customers the best experience because they are paying customers at the end of the day, and from the other reviews I've seen it looks like we're not the only ones who've experienced this. I really do hope I am able to change my opinion in the future about you guys.

If you haven’t visited Dennis-point Campground in Southern MD - you are surely missing out on a great place. This is my first year seasonal here & it has been amazing experience. Heather (the Office Manager) makes sure all the campers have a great experience & want to return for another season/year. From the sites & the water activities - to all the fun events planned by the staff at DP - you couldn’t ask to be a better place!

Came in from out of state to visit family, and stayed in a cabin while my family stayed in campers. Check in was easy, the people in the office were very friendly. The cabin was more than I had expected- it was clean, more spacious than expected, stocked with a few essentials (which i wasn't expecting) and had nice, hot water for the shower. I grew up camping here and am so glad most of the campground has stayed pretty much the same- but now even better, because of this easy, lovely option. Bring your own linen but there is a coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave and toaster oven.

Paradise for puppies and their people! Absolutely gorgeous location with very helpful and accommodating staff; Tammy was especially delightful. We came as transient boaters, docking for two nights. Our bilge pump stopped working and the staff had the correct model in stock and brought it to us immediately. We have been sailing on the Chesapeake for 15 years, and this sort of service is very rare. We walked through the campground which is beautiful. Location is quiet and private with lots of places to walk our dog and a shady, grassy fenced dog area that was large enough for us to throw her ball. Mya gives Dennis Point 5 paws! All in all, perfect respite!

I deliver to this location. The staff is cool and the bathrooms are clean! Cool place for a boater I suppose.
