Reservation system is nice and easy to use. Dockhands not so helpful sometimes.
This was our 9th visit to Champlin's and only our third since 2019. We were somewhat disappointed to say the least. Here is a list of what we thought changed for the worse since our last 2019 and prior visits. Poolside bar and restaurant served watery and tasteless drinks. No live music poolside; Kids arcade and bumper boats - Gone Garbage in the dock receptacles overflowing constantly-smelly and unsightly; No significant upgrades to the showers/restrooms; lack of ventilation-workers cleaning/closing bathrooms during peak AM shower times; Only one bartender at tiki bar-long wait times for drinks; Quite frankly, all the talk on the website about the improvements made to the facility are smoke and mirrors. The cost for us to stay was up over $200 more per night since 2019. Would be OK with that if there were actual improvements made. Seemed like a bit of false advertising. All in all, we had a good time during our stay but really feel like things went downhill v. our prior stays at Champlins circa 2006-2010. We are hoping the foregoing items are addressed in the near future!
