The most corrupt campground out there. With a very volatile board

Will steal your money faster than you can blink an eye.  Was a member there for 5 years why I dont know.  If you were not a part of the rich peoples club there you were treated like dog shit. I had a permanent spot out there possibly the nicest spot in the camp ground.  was told i needed to make sure my dues were paid by May 1st I paid them by april 1st but yet was still removed from my spot saying I was late on my dues.  Yeah go figure.  can only guess what thats about.  Then last year the club president was allowing under aged children to drink alcoholic beverages then after than he continued to get belligerent with those same kids he let drink and threatened to kill them, all while there were multiple board member out on the trail ride and witnessed that man threaten that kid did anyone do anything about it... NOPE.  If everyone was smart they would stay the HELL away from that campground.  All you will get there is a bunch of needless drama
