Stayed here for a few weeks. The complaints here are totally valid. It did look like a prison camp and the owners are difficult to work with. Record any and all interactions with them because they will lie to you, they will "forget" things, and they will yell and scream at you if you hold them to their own word. I recorded every interaction from booking all the way through exit and they did all kinds of shady things like:
- Charged me an extra $50 when I arrived after telling me I had a nice RV (I guarantee it was economic profiling)
- Pretended to not speak English very well to excuse bad communication. (As a 2nd generation Korean this trope quickly fell apart for Jung) she communicates fine but pretends to have difficulty understanding you just to undercut you.
- Slapped my hand several times in anger and when I told her not to hit me she told me she was allowed to hit me because it's her space.
- Jung canceled a debit card payment before it went through then said she "called the bank" who said I entered the wrong PIN. Oddly enough banks don't handle CC transactions since they're handled through an intermediary 🤔.
- When I tried to pay for my second month Jung demanded I use my bank card to pay and I refused because I didn't trust them. Paul threatened to kick me out and said he'd call the sheriff to "restrain me" and when I told him he didn't have that right Jung screamed "I don't care about your US rights!" (Again, I have the recording of this entire exchange)
- The dock is also in illegal shape and they won't fix it because according to Paul it isn't worth his time to fix. He says he can make $1000 a day on his excavator so why would he fix the dock? They've had boats break off the dock before. It's unsafe, gross, and just an eyesore.
- One guy drove his car into the ditch on the road one night and left it there until I called the sheriff the next day. Paul pulled him out with an excavator and they left garbage in the road and the irrigation ditch for quite some time afterwards and it was gross. I'll attach a picture.
I also agree with all the statements about the garbage. It's way too small for the amount of sites and they only emptied it twice when I was there despite it being full 95% of the time.
In short this place is run by miserable people who clearly inherited the business from a relative and have zero pride in their space and zero respect for the folks who pay them money. Some of the folks who stay there are friendly though some are convicted violent felons, all I spoke with are unhappy with the management.
