I recently made a review about the service that we had at the campsite and somehow it was removed Deleted let me start from the beginning My husband and I checked in and they had us in a sight that was too small for our rig she directed un to spot 11 that was fine no problems we set up we ate dinner we went to bed Our times that we go to bed are different from others so i woke up the next day probably around 2 PM from a perfect stranger banking on our rig telling my husband that he was in the wrong spot my husband showed him the paperwork and I wrecked the man to the camp host not 20 mins later the host banging on the door yelling at my husband (she bellowed the trash goes in the garbage she yelled this 5 times from the bottom of our staid to my husbandI told her in the same voice we hear u She being pointed her finger at my husband and said oh you wanna get kicked out you know what you guys are out of here we both my husband and I looked at each other looked back at her and said for what she just got back on her cart drove behind our RV unplugged our electricity and rolled back down to the front of the property my husband and I been called Sheriff Martinez she came down she did nothing the lady was yelling with the neighbors talking about that black girl over there I could not believe what she was saying she added every view to Rover saying that we were kicked off site because we wouldn’t comply with the trash rules and that’s not true she was racist she was mean she was rude and she did not deserve to be a manager of anything this was all to cover up for the mistake that she made The previous day when she put us in spot 11 which apparently was his spot because he was waving his arms all over the place and yelling about it before she banged on our rig about the trash I only gave this review one star because I couldn’t give it anything less we sent a private message to the Instagram page for raton pass no one has responded I’m sure if I were a regular I would’ve been excepted but this place we will never talk in their doorstep again
