Guest reviews
At the camp site, they relax in the family circle or spend time outdoors with friends. The reviews are very different: from everything is bad to everything is just wonderful. Why such a runaway in grades? Everyone just has their own criteria. Someone loves silence, and someone likes to spend the whole night in a disco. Not everyone likes the comfort that the administration of the base provides. Of course, the houses are much more comfortable, but here, mainly, visitors appreciated the rest.
In their reviews, people indicate the excellent location of the recreation center "Don Forest": the river is just around the corner, time passes in the forest zone, where the air is clean, which even makes you dizzy from an excess of oxygen. Complaints to the service staff no. There is no garbage on the territory, the grass is trimmed and always looks fresh, paths are laid everywhere, and in the dark the base is well lit.
One of the wishes was to somehow resolve the issue with the stairs leading to the beach. Very steep steps for the elderly, and it would not hurt to make a railing. But this is quite fixable, and the request is justified. There are claims to the bungalow, in which there are small rooms. But, as representatives of the base explained, rest here is not positioned as comfortable with deluxe rooms. The main thing here is nature, river, forest. And whoever comes to enjoy time in nature, leaves the base very pleased.
