New Policy At Elacoya RV Park

For the past number of years my wife and I have been enjoying our stays at Ellacoya RV Park in our motorhome. Our dog (yellow Lab) also comes with us. In February of this year we booked just about every weekend at the park and a couple of long weekends. This year was special, as we purchased a boat at Glendale Marine which is just a mile or two down the road. We were looking forward to a great year on the lake with our new boat conveniently right down the road from where we were staying.

Well after reserving nearly $1,800.00 in weekends, we find out TODAY that Ellacoya just adopted a no pet policy!! Even though, it clearly says on our on line reservation made in February that leashed pets are allowed, as they have always been in the past. Needless to say we are pretty bummed out because we now have no place to stay as all other area campgrounds are filled. Why didn't they say that before we booked in February??

I realize they have the right to the no pet policy, but geez they could have told us much sooner so we could find another place to stay!!

We asked why they adopted this policy and were told it was a safety issue for boaters and dogs in the water in front of Elacoya. I can tell you right now that's B.S. Anyone who knows the lake realizes there is a huge sand bar there and boats need to be at headway speed a long ways off from shore. Last year there were hardly any dogs at all, and most times we didn't even see any at all, and we were there most every weekend! I hope they did not adopt this policy because of some irresponsible dog owner who didn't pick up after their dog!!

We are driving up tonight as we have a lead on a seasonal site. Just not sure what it will be like. At this point I guess beggars can't be choosers!!

O.K., I'm done venting...
