When I made the reservation I had to pay starting that day even though we weren't coming for 11 days. The only "rule" mentioned during that conversation was about taking care of the yard. There are none on their website. We get there and are curtly informed of the list of rules. Nothing outside except lawn furniture. My son asked about an hour later if we could put a potted cactus outside. Nope. Lots of people had stuff outside. Gas cans, coolers, ladders, and wait for it...... plants. Guess we didn't kiss up properly? So we had a bike inside, the large cactus in the shower, coolers and an outdoor rug in the car, garden hose in the outside kitchen. Recyling bins wherever there was a spot. When I asked if they had recycling there he looked at me as if I had asked him if he had a third nipple. After that moment the manager never spoke to us or responded to a head nod in greeting. The only time he spoke to me was to tell me that we didn't know how to water the grass and that we should have mowed. We hadn't been there a week. On Sundays the Stepford residents go one by one like zombies to get the lawn mower. Well, those that have been deemed worthy of proper lawn care. We got there on the 18th. On the 20th we had made a reservation elsewhere. We left on the 31st. Rent has to be paid online. Does anyone need another stupid app on their phone? When my husband showed up on the 31st after work training in Dallas the manager talked to him several times in just a few hours. Maybe he doesn't like fat women or 30 something guys with tattoos or maybe it was because we questioned his rules about putting the plant out. The lawn watering schedule the manager has is absurd and so very wasteful. He watered one spot 3 times in 24 hours. So much goes into the road and onto the patios. Our yard was very shaded yet he watered every other day. And during the afternoon when it was 100 degrees. There was always mud by the back steps and the outside kitchen. We had to walk in the mud to get anything out that storage area. Clearly this place cares more about appearances than the environment. It is a green and shady yet soulless place. Rarely anyone out. No chance to make your site a "home" because you aren't allowed. One washer and dryer for 22 spots. The new park we are in has so much personality. And it's cheaper and we don't have to maintain the yard.
REPLY: Teri - how sad you have to resort to lying about us to try and discredit my review. You seem to have a habit of doing that with 1 star reviews on different websites. If we had been smoking pot I guarantee that Chris would have been pounding on our door. We don't do any drugs - even legal ones. We don't even have ibuprofen in the house. The point was made that we would not have a spot when we got there if we didn't start paying right then. You didn't make the offer, like most parks, to take our reservation and start charging us when we arrived. I was asked for an address so that the refund could be mailed. If it was going to be done online then that was a waste of paper. There is stuff outside many of the RVs. A potted cactus isn't "junky". You decide when to enforce your rules. As you well know, there aren't long term spots just sitting empty. Not at good RV parks anyway. So we didn't have the option of going elsewhere. Except to the Walmart parking lot. The mud and water on the patio was every single time he watered. Yes we were excited to take care of a yard after being in Arizona. But your way of taking care of a yard is so very wrong. One word - evaporation. Life is short. We are so very happy where we are. The cactus is happy where we are. And I didn't have to resort to lying. It's called a review. It is a relaying of our experience, albeit short experience at your RV park. Not airing grievances. Too bad you can't accept it for that. read more
