We made it VERY clear that our family would be changing on a regular basis due to the foster children we help. We decided this campground would be perfect for our family with the owners understanding of our situation we signed up for a seasonal campsite. When it was time to pull our camper in the sites were not ready they were all mud, and still are, we were not given the site we picked out and signed the contract for, they gave us a different smaller site. They stated they were going to provide Culligan water treatment, the water was not treated, it had a very bad rotten egg smell, and was rusty looking. When we talked to the owners about this they did nothing to improve the water quality. We were told the pond was also going to be treated, but at the beginning of the summer it was full of tadpoles and frogs, where our children didn’t even want to go in because they didn’t want to step on them. Come mid-summer the water began to change color and was no longer clear, we asked the owners about this and he told us the water that was going in to the pond was treated and he no longer had intentions of treating the already filled pond. I do understand that there needs to be some rules and regulations so the owners did provide each camp site 10 free visitors a year. When we signed our contracts we understood it was going to be $3 a visitor. As soon as we had a visitor come that wanted to swim the fee went up to $8. I find this to be very deceiving. We took our children to play in the “Frog hop” which is a place for families to go with many things to do. When we walked in the very seldom said hi without us saying it first. They would look at you and make you feel out of place. This was more of a place for adults to hang out and drink not somewhere for families to go to bond like first described. We decided this is not the place we first thought. At the end of the season we decided to go elsewhere to enjoy our summers with our family.

When I went to renew my contract for the next year the owners pulled me to a private area to tell me they decided they were not renewing my contract due to the foster children coming and going. However as stated below we signed a contract including our foster children. They also said there were several complaints about my family. However, none of the complaints were brought to my attention, and still have not been brought to my attention. As a family campground this concerns me as a parent if I had a complaint I would hope the owners would bring it to the person’s attention. Once I found a new site and was working out the details of me moving to my new campground the new owner stated to me that he heard that my family had caused a lot of trouble at “Green archers.” I feel like they have slandered my name, along with discriminated against my African-American daughter and my Native-American foster children.
I discussed in great detail about what my foster family looked like with the owners and they were very accepting and understanding.
