Post by PapaJoel55 »

camp lord willing in monroe michigan was a real nice place until they hired a new assistant manager that has one thing on his mind MONEY.raised propane to $4.oo a gallon fulltimers now have to rent their tanks elec. use went down so now you pay for more.i ask about doing things for the kids and was told they arent there for kids just workers.leaving here in march and i wont go back again.i thought camping was for your family and thats how they advertise but thats not the way it is.

Well thank you for the heads up. We have quite a few members from Michigan and this maybe helpful to them and those of us that maybe passing thru. It is a shame that people like that give a nice cg a bad name.I would think that a full cg with reasonable prices is much better than empty ones with NO $$ coming in. So be it....the power of the internet is great! :thumbrt:

We've had a similar experience with a park we stayed at from shortly after it opened in 2003, until new owners bought it in 2007, in Gilroy, CA. It used to rate very well in the TL and Woodward's evals, now, IF it's still open, it's been at least 3 years since our last night there, it's a dump. It took less then a year to trash it.

Papa Joel,

Sorry to hear about the new assistant. Maybe when the owners see that they are loosing thier core campers they will make a change. Hopefully that will happen before it's to late!

You gonna hit the road now or are you looking for a full time park?

Maybe the owner doesn't know what a mess the asst. has made. Might be worth a letter to the owner before its too late to turn it around again. Worth a try if it was a favorite place. Just a thought :)

Thanks for the update Joel. I was going to go there in April for a couple of days. Guess I'll look elsewhere.
