Emerald Cove Rv resort in Earp, California! Blog post 20

We survived our first RV park. Only had to move 5th wheel once. We are heading to Earp, Ca to Emerald Cove RV park/resort. We won 3 days free from a contest I submitted our names in contest, while we were at Camping world. The only requirement is that we attend a 90 minute sales pitch to the resort.  

It took us a few hours to travel from KOA Temecula to Earp California. Neil used one of our RV cameras and placed inside the Kitchen so we can watch the dogs while we are traveling. They did so good. We kept a window ever so slightly cracked for air. Each one would take a turn to stand up and look out the window.

When we arrived at Emerald cove, we were escorted to our RV site. We were guaranteed a 50amp pull thru site, but were told it is "1st come, 1st serve" to get a pull thru and 50amp. So we were given a pull thru but 30amp. The 1st impression , not so great. First the lady who checked us in had attitude when I informed her that I had spoken with the resort on 3 separate occasions and confirmed each time. Second the site we were placed was not a nice site. Our neighbors appear to live there full time. They had several cars parked in front of their RV and partly in our site and had to be asked to move it to accommodate us. We were ready or should I say myself, wanted to turn around and go find another place, but Neil was the calm level headed person in the truck and convinced me to stay.

The next day we had an appointment to meet with a sales person.  He explained how the resort works and that it is linked with Good Sam's "Coast2Coast" plan. He explained how it benefits full time rvers like ourselves. 

We explained to the saleman, that our first impression is not great. We explained how the lady was not nice, and how we were told we would have a site with 50amp and our site is extremely far from everything.  We then learned that all the RV sites on the Colorado river are back in but are 50 amp and you get direct access and view of the river. The salesperson told us that he will remedy our concerns by moving us to a river site with 50 amps as soon as our meeting is over.

We decided to sign up for the Coast2Coast plan with Emerald Cove being our home resort. Since it is our home resort we extended our stay for the maximum stay of 2 weeks.

(Much better views)

Manager threatened to terminate our Thousand Trails Membership; 2/2023 (Out of order)

Image
7/8/24 UPDATE WE WON! See unofficial ruling below! We won our Court case against Thousand Trails Management Services and Equity Lifestyles the Parent company for falsely terminating our membership!   On 6/27/24 We had our Court case where the judge read all the evidence submitted. The VP representative for Equity Lifestyle tried to evade the judges questions as to who owns the Soledad Canyon  RV park in Acton, CA. He kept trying to say that the name "Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon" does not exist. The judge asked- I am confused- who owns "The Soledad Canyon RV park", to which he responded " MHC  Thousand Trails". Judge asked who own "MHC Thousand Trails" to which the VP responded very quietly "Equity Lifestyle Management"! The judge asked about if there was an offer to settle and the VP said yes we believe we offered $2000 but they declined. The judge then asked if we attempted to contact to settle to which I responded yes Judge multipl...

Willow Bay Rv Resort in Nine Miles WA and Thousand Trails Newport/Diamond Lake KOA July 2021(Blog post 159)

Image
From July 5-8, 2021, We stayed 3 days at the Willow Bay RV resort via our Coast to Coast membership. The views were spectacular, but the park not so much, fortunately we paid 0 dollars. Some sites have only 1 pedastal for 3 sites that have to share causing 1 of the people to have to back into site.  This park is also has no sewer hookup, nor a dump station. If we have to stay at this park again, it will most likely just be for a 1 night stay. We left Nine Miles and headed to Newport, Wa to the Thousand Trails Newport and Diamond Lake KOA.  When you enter the park the registration is on the right where the KOA and dump stations are located. There is no sewer at this park and they make sure to tell you when you arrive and the many signs also indicating no sewer.    The sites are first come first serve with water and 30 amp service. We found a incredible site nestled in the trees, though the power pedastal was on the opposite site of the RV. Luckily we had an extension ...

Biking on the Trail of Coer'd'Alene in Wallace, Idaho July 2021 (Blog post #158)

Image
 We arrived to the Blue Anchor Rv park in Osburn, Idaho for the 4th of July holiday.  Just a 2 minute bike ride out of the park is the Trail of the Coer'd'Alene. The trail is 73 miles long and paralles the Cour'd'Alene river. We rode on the trail several times during our stay. Several hours after arriving we set out on our first ride, heading west, riding 6 miles. The views were so stunning. The next day on 4th of July, we set off, this time heading east on the trail. We rode through the town of Wallace. It was a really cute town, and looked like a great place to relax outside and eat, but it was too early in the morning for us to stop to eat.  We found many places along the trail with plenty of shade and picnic tables or benches to sit and enjoy the Coeur'd'Alene river.  We had such a wonderful time riding this trail and plan to ride more of the trail on future visits along the trail.
