Green Cabin Flat Campground

GROSS ANIMAL NEGLECT is the reason my family decided not to stay at Camp Ikigai. From the tick covered dog that was dehydrated and trying to continuously get in our vehicle to the obviously scared wild horses to the unsheared lamb turned to dread locks that kept stepping on its own fur. Besides the fact the “shower” is literally a garden hose tied to a board or that the “toilet” is a bucket and a curtain, the web site promoting Camp Ikigai as an “animal sanctuary” is a complete farce. Setting animals loose in a pasture does not mean it’s a sanctuary. It’s obvious the owner doesn’t care about the welfare of the animals, he’s using “sanctuary” as a key term to pay for his broken-down trailer and improve his own standard of living. This compound is an absolute wreck with trash and broken parts littered everywhere. It is not a safe environment to stay, and their own website warns of their dogs’ potential aggressive behavior. I expected the first nights’ pay to be lost, but nobody has replied to multiple phone calls, texts or e-mails. It’s been over a week and the owner continues to hide and not respond to any form of communication. I am sure he is used to people refusing to stay there after seeing the condition of the animals/property and asking for a refund. To the owner; Please do the right thing and use the money you stole from my family to take care of the animals before the S.P.C.A. gets there.
