Use to be really good place to stay. But then the owners got older and couldn't keep it up. God love em! But now there is new owners and I hope they bring it back to the old glory it once was. We shall see!

I had the worst experience with Pruett's. I had called ahead of time and asked if a pontoon was available, and what the cost would be to rent for the day. I was told a price that was higher than others in the area, but they were close by and we were ready to get out on the lake.
When we arrived, we singed contracts, waivers, and all other paperwork. The only price mentioned was the same I had been quoted on the phone.
After paying and signing all papers, we were taken down to the dock - which looked like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Walking down while carrying equipment and kids was extremely unsafe. I'm surprised they haven't had issues with people falling off in the water as the side-to-side curve on the dock is literally measured in feet, not inches.
Then the boat Honestly I'm surprised it floats. It was completely run-down, none of the original electronic equipment worked. It was all aftermarket, rigged to make-do, with a throttle lever that had not divots, notches, or stop points. You had to guess where neutral was.
One of the chairs fell off when I touched it - glad I didn't have a child in that seat. On reading reviews. I see that this was commonplace for all boats, as we also rented on July 4th.
We went through 3 fuel tanks in 4 hours. For 30+ minutes we were stuck with a boat that wouldn't start and drifted into the bank. I had to get out and pull the boat back to deeper water, get back in, and try, try again to start it. Eventually got the boat going again and didn't shut it off till we made it back to the dock.
When we were finished, we were told to wait on the owner. We were then told we owed even more money for the fuel used. Now, after this incident, I've done my research and found this is commonplace. But I would expect any respectable business to make that clear ahead of time, like when a customer asks how much the rental will cost, or when signing contracts, or when giving instructions at the start of the rental. not spring it on your when you're done for the day.
All in all, the boat itself made for a horrible experience - the undisclosed charges were just icing on the cake. I would highly recommend against using Pruett's for boat rental.response / report this review -

We broke down for 2 hours with 7 kids on July 4th and then we got a "discount" on gas. Never again will I use this place.

I am really sorry for this review. The owners of this location are really great people. They have allowed the camp to go extremely down hill. I think their age doesn't allow them to take care of the place. My wife is still finding ants in my clothes. The cabins are full of ants, mice and insects. The cabin doesn't have enough plates, bowls or other items. The furniture is broken down as well. You need help getting up off the couch or chairs. The beds are the same broken down and uncomfortable to sleep on. The only good thing about the camp is the fish cleaning station and ramp location. But with the cost of 125.00 for a cabin of 4 this isn't the place you need to stay. We will be looking for a better place to stay in the coming year.
