Colorado Campground - Beware of Cancellation Policy

Unreasonable Cancellation Policy at Dakota Ridge RV Park (outside Denver). We booked in April 2016 for an August 2016 5 night stay. We had to cancel due to illness (canceled in June). When I canceled the reservation I was informed they would not refund my payment of $158.57 (which they referred to as a deposit). Yes, $158.57 - not the typical cancellation fee or one night's stay but the entire amount (1/2 of the total cost of my stay). I was told by staff that when I booked I was informed, if I canceled, they would keep the full amount - I Was Not. If I had been told of that outrageous policy, I would not have booked. Don't know why anyone would! I was also told I could apply the amount for a stay until the end of this year - really, I live in Arkansas. We have never experienced this kind of greed at any RV park. I emailed the owner and received no response (also owns Spruce Lake RV Park and Elk Meadow RV Park).
  • And some folks want to automatically take the posters word for it, based solely on what they disclose to the readers. And want to automatically demonize the owner as an evil greedy business owner.

    Exactly!!

    The real point about this thread is that the OP wanted to vent in their 1st post in the Forum all though they have implied that have been camping for a number of years.

    Please....the OP is more like a troll and will never be seen here again.

    Yes it did! I have deleted the off topic posts regarding electric cars and am closing this thread since it has run its course.
