Unfortunately I have to deal with slumlord RV park owners/managers regularly because of the type of RV I have. This place though was by far the worst. Sooo bad I don't even know where to begin. The bugs? The tweakers? Maybe that cockroach that held me up on the way to the bathroom? Or shall I start with how they try to steal peoples RV's out from under-them with unlawful evictions?
Lets start with bugs. When we moved in Tammy (the horrible bully slumlord who runs the place) claimed they did not have any bug problems. That vary night i saw 1000's of cockroaches all over the park. They also have a seriously bad bedbug problem. We have never had bug problems in our RV until staying here. We had to spend 1000's combating bedbugs. It was determined over time that they were definitely coming in from the RV park itself. Unless you want some serious bug problems do not stay here!!!
Many things have been slapped together haphazardly by the two drunks who supposedly do maintenance around there. Be careful plugging into their electric boxes many of them are broken and not wired properly. High risk of electrocution and/or catching your coach on fire.
The place is over all filthy. In every RV park i stay long term I do what I call the bathroom test. I leave something in the bathroom, small, unnoticeable, but yet should be gone if anyone were to clean in even the slightest amount. For MONTHS the test object sat undisturbed. GROSS!!
The area of Las Vegas is pretty bad and the tweakers and drunks roaming all over are a problem. Sure this park has a gate now, SO? the people you do not want in just sit and wait for a car to go in and they are in. Don't let the gate fool you into thinking you have any sort of protection! And honestly the worst thief of them all is already in the park!
My understanding is we are not the first people to run into such a problem with Tammy and The American Camp Ground RV Park. They apparently are notorious for putting 24 hour tow stickers on peoples RV's and if you are unable to do anything about it they will tow your RV into their little storage yard which is full of RV's they have stolen from people over the years. No that is not a legal method of eviction. RV Parks must adhere to the same rules as a mobile home park which requires the same method of eviction process as an apartment. They will make outrageous claims that you owe them more then you do! Even if you have the receipts to prove otherwise! They are prime examples of slumlords. We had moved in the end of May 2014, In July we ran into some problems and asked for a small reprieve on our rent, not to not have to pay it but just a few days to get the money together. Tammy said sure ill help you. What did she do? She moved us to more expensive weekly payments. Ummm that helps how? At the same time all the while we are throwing money at a bug problem we got from your park? We owed 375 and were willing to pay that but Tammy tried to claim we had not paid several weeks that we in fact had! I am still holding the receipts in my hand, claiming we owed over $600. We are seeking legal action against the park but slumlords like that always seem to be able to skip out of any responsibility. Just look at the park.... its disgusting! Far better RV parks in Vegas folks! Cheaper even! I would not rent here again even if it was the only place on earth! Run by a thieving...
Read moreThe staff isnt friendly by no means and the restrooms are not clean theres mold inside the showers, it's constant maitnance on the washers and dryers. The property manager is a scammer and user of this campground and of the owners, I'm sure they don't know half of what goes on there. When I bought my first storage unit, l brought the contents here to go through it so I can sell it at the Swap Meet, everything brought here is outside my unit in my yard but the property manager stopped by and told me I couldn't have it here and then said she was going to kick me out the next time it happened. I told her that that was my job and she said she didn't care, ever since then she's been on me about any kind of stuff in the yard no matter what it was when there is clearly other people that have worst yards other than mine, like a ladys yard whom works for the office and it is one of the worst!!!!. My girlfriend was a tenant there & was a week late on her rent, the property manager had it pulled off w/no warnings, cut her lock off the door so the pound could come in and take her animals. When the trailer was moved off the property they didn't put the slide outs in which also bent the frame. It cost her $300 to get it out of jail, the dogs & birds are over 2000, so she has lost her birds! The property manager then had all of her stuff removed from the yard & put over on the side of thier building for everybody to go through. I was trying to help her by letting her stay with me till she could come up with the money, they then refused to take my rent money & told me that I had 2 days to move. Then said that if we went back there we'd be caught & charged with trespassing. She's done this with numerous people as you can see in reviews. There's a few people that have had the same thing done to them. I don't know why or how she gets away with this but she needs to be stopped & fired as property manager along with her daughter whom also works there. The other lady (with the worst yard ever) is a very rude person & has no business being at all with customers. Warnings.... Stay clear of this...
Read moreIT IS TOO EASY... Look at all the 5 star reviews. Each 5 STAR post says they are a "LOCAL GUIDE". WHAT IS A LOCAL GUIDE AND WHY DO THEY ALL LIVE AT AMERICAN CAMPGRAOUND????? Because its them! They don't even hide padding their reviews with their lies well!!!! I CAN GUARANTEE THE THE POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR THIS PLACE ARE BOGUS! Definitely AVOID this place. I reserved a spot for my 42' 5th wheel for a monthly stay. They required me to fill out a form for a background check. Daily and weekly stays, no background check necessary. Made no sense to me but this is high season in Vegas and places with monthly availability are hard to find. I sent the filled forms back and called the next day for them to confirm that they received my background check forms. They confirmed. I drove my 42' 5tyugih wheel 1400 miles from Houston for them to tell me that they never received the forms and cannot allow me in the space I reserved. The space was still apparantly empty, but because they didn't process my background check, they refused to let me in to my reserved spot. I tried to call before arriving and they never answered. At the desk, she explained that they just got a new phone and "she didn't know how to turn it on"! They were fully aware that there were no other local RV lots in town. They were also aware that I am a retired war veteran. The manager glared at me as I complained and told me to leave. VETERANS...... avoid this place on principle alone. Anyone...
