Lone Wolf Colony — Hotel in Apple Valley

I've waited several months so that my emotions would not weigh into this review because I was here for 6 months during the pandemic as a traveling nurse and it was the most stressful place i've ever lived. I say that because I thought on any given day I would be kicked out for any slight breach of park rules, etiquette or complaints from neighbors. Between the barbed wire, cameras and constant rounding of the "elderly blond woman" on her golf cart peering into EVERYTHING that you do in your campsite it felt more like a prison than an RV park. Many of the full-time retired folks do not want campers in their little park making noise, having campfires, playing their music, staying outside to watch stars etc. If the "elderly blond" warden doesn't catch you doing something then one of the trustees or residents will do so. I have two dogs and clean up after them fastidiously but i was followed several times by the "elderly blonde lady" making sure that i picked up after them and didn't tread into an "out of bounds area". Aside from playing my music too loud during the DAY I was a model camper yet I watched some of the full-timers break the rules fixing their vehicles, leaving their pets outside unattended, letting their cat roam the entire park etc. I watched people arrive in the park and for the first week or two they would sit outside in the evening talking, playing music etc but that was soon stifled by the powers that be. Don't even try to use the club house because the same group of people are in there EVERY NIGHT monopolizing the TV. While this park is safe and secure and most of the staff is friendly it is not a very welcoming place. If you can follow all of the dozens of rules to the letter, don't make noise, don't want to have fun, don't mind being scrutinized every second of every day and don't mind feeling like a prisoner then this place is for you. If you are a normal individual with a life, friends, hobbies or enjoy sitting outside then...

As an update: I've been living in a house for the past year as I get ready for travel has my son is fixing my RV and doing some repairs. I wanted to make that clear. I can live in the house or I can live in the RV. To me it's fun to drive down to the beach from Apple Valley.. doesn't mean I'm homeless. I have a house I can live in as well. You can't judge anyone. The same goes can't judge a book by its cover. My son is helping me learn all about my small motorhome and we've gone several times to dump my black tank and gray tank and it's quick and easy service. I just don't like to make a comment to the people who talk about the full-time residences and on the being on the point of homelessness. Don't talk about something you don't know. I know several people that have a couple of million for retirement but they decided to drive a van conversion or small motorhome like me as my mother used to say sometimes the reason people have a million dollars is because they spend the money wisely while they were saving it. I chose to be a nomad and not pay all my money out an apartment as I about to begin my travels across the United States. I came from a family that lived in different countries we always traveled. And sometimes it was in a station wagon sometimes it was staying in hotels or on trains. It doesn't mean people are broke because they choose that lifestyle on vacations or permanently. I really resent the fact that when somebody says on the edge of homelessness solely because they choose to live in the vehicle and they're traveling in in a campground. Periodically to get away from heat and snow and they have a multi-million dollar house back east. Again don't judge what...

Bring of Mex/white I was racially profiled. On-site my first place was going to the office to get information. No staff was in the office. I decided to just drive once around the lot to get a view of the rental space. My intent was to stop back at the office before leaving to see if I can still get some information from staff. I was greeted by two elderly women apparently staff as they waved me down to stop. Before I was able to get any questions out I was told that I was racing through the property and that other renters and their spaces were complaining. No Such Thing occurred. I then informed the elderly staff female that I was trying to get some information a possibly renting in the near future. She was rude obnoxious and completely one-sided. She didn't take the time or the patience to hear anything that I was trying to express. My last words were I will not be interested in the near future nor will I give a good recommendation of this place. Her reply was "I don't care we don't need people like you". I'll admit it was hurtful but I kept a straight face and I drove off the property. The funniest thing was I heard great reviews about how friendly the staff was and how nice of a place this location was as well. I will admit the property and the location was very well up kept. But my experience was completely the opposite. I like to believe maybe the 2 elderly women were having a bad day. And I'm a fair person on giving things a second try. Maybe in the future when I visit the two elderly women would have...
