Oak Glen Retreat and broken sewer hose cap (3/16/20) Blog post 45

We arrived at the lovely entrance to the Oak Glen Retreat. The very nice lady behind the counter registered, checked us in and gave us our site number. It was a pull through site but was not straight it was at an angle. We readjusted 3 times trying to make this site work. I finally went back to the office and explained our situation and asked if we could move to the site directly behind us. The lady said no, that in 5 days, one of their regulars would be arriving. She assigned us another site stating "I am  putting you at the bottom of the hill, where you will be by yourselves".

We moved down the hill to the new site. While pulling forward, I heard a scraping noise. The concrete pad was missing a few inches of dirt, and sewer hose door was pulled off as I was pulling forward. I had to back the 5th wheel up, go around the site and back in to prevent any further damage to the underside of the rig. 

I am not sure what the lady meant when she said "I am putting you down the hill by yourselves"? We were not by ourselves by any means. 

This park is considered a Premier Coast to Coast Resort. This park was a DUMP, and no way shape or form should be even considered a Coast to Coast, Good Sam park, or even a Passport America park. The roads and sites need immediately repair. A majority of the RV's at the park are those that live there fulltime, which made the park look more like a run down trailer park.

Directly to the west of the RV was a private home, that had a rooster pen about 10-20 feet from our front door. The property appeared to be a junkyard to everything. 

updated 6/17/22 I don't know if the park has made any renovations since we stayed, but what I can say is after almost 2.5 years being fulltime; this is the worst park we have stayed at to this date.


 You can see the scrape marks from other RV's

(They repaired site next to ours, but assigned us a site that needed repair)

 (no covers over sewere drains)









 (broken glass everywhere)


(more glass)







(I don't feel alone, like the lady said we would be!)






This the view front my front door looking at the Rooster coop. The rooster likes to crow all day long.

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.
