How does a place take a deposit back in October for seasonal campers the following season, then take the remainder of the payment for the season in April and throw everyone out in May refusing to give them their money back for up to a year. The campers were told today that they must be out by tonight 5/17/2016 or they will be arrested? There isn't anywhere in the area to go and most of the campers (seasonal) have given their last dime to stay for the season. Supposedly they have a water issue and the water has been shut off, the health department has closed them down but Fossil Rock management refuses to show the campers any type of letter from the health department. Police say that they do not have a copy of the letter but it should be posted tomorrow. Most of the people have very little income and no where to go. They've also been told they must remove there property within 5 days or it will be leveled. This was posted on Fossil Rock's Facebook page an hour ago; "Fossil Rock is currently closed. Hopefully, it will open again after some issues are dealt with or after it is sold in June. I wish all the campers more good times!"

My husband keeps our camper here when he is working at Exxon Mobil. While we keep our site looking very nice the rest of the park is barely maintained. The owners keep telling everyone that they are going to fix the roads and other maintenance problem but they keep putting it off and coming up with excuses. This place has always been open year round but last fall they gave everyone 60 days notice that they would be closing for the winter so they could make repairs... Well the season has passed but still not much has been done as promised. Roads have huge pot holes, playground needs repair, and much more.

Hello: My name is Ron and I am the father of five daughters. A few times each summer I take the time to take usually three of my daughters camping at Fossil Rock. I have read all the reviews, both positive and negative and would like to add my feedback. Every time I have arrived at Fossil Rock the daughters and I have been happily welcomed by Wayne. Since I do not bring all my daughters at once, he has always allowed me to pitch two tents on one campsite. The property appears to be very clean and well maintained. Every time I have stayed, including last week, the washrooms and showers were also very clean. (Clean floors, clean counter tops, clean toilets, clean showers, full paper towels and toilet paper) Even the portable toilets around the grounds were clean and surprisingly no smell. As for comparing this area to a Yogi Bear park, people are correct don’t. If you are looking for someone, or something, to keep your kids occupied then by all means go to Yogi Bear. If you are looking forward to doing things and spending time with your kids come to Fossil Rock. When I was young and my brother and I went camping with our dad we slept in tents with no floor out in the middle of nowhere. Today my kids get a nice tent with a floor and roof vents. That is modern enough for me for camping. We arrive and the kids help to set up camp. We start a fire and cook all of our meals over a fire. If you don’t bring wood, someone like Brian will sell you wood. My kids go hiking with me through the back area trails. Sometimes we go fishing. Sometimes we take the top off the Jeep and do a little trail riding. (This is not an area for 4 wheeling and tearing up the ground. Tread lightly.) As for the other people, everyone has been nothing but friendly with us every time we have been here. I’m going to head out to Fossil Rock this Sunday again for a few days. If you see the white Jeep parked by two tents, come on by and say hello.

WHY CAN'T I SELECT Zero stars, Lies and money grubbing.... My experience was terrible, maybe yours will be better. It started like this: Two weeks in advance of my arrival I called them and made reservations. Had to pay deposit and first months rent over the phone with a credit card. 1 week later I get a phone call that says they are full and I will not be able to come there, I ask about having already made a reservation and paid in full, in advance and when where my money was. A few minutes of bumbling around and they told me nevermind we found your receipt and your clear to come. Arrival day, I show up and am told they had no openings. Again I remind them that I paid 2 weeks ago in full and that they had already withdrawn it from my bank account, more fumbling...... Ok, they said we'll put you over here. (my camper looked more like a pontoon in that flood plane than a camper) but considering It's raining and has been for a few days I can deal with the lack of maint. to control a little run off. I try to get hooked up (I paid for a full hookup site) no hookups..... They move me over. I try to hook up again..... NO WATER, I approached the nice lady working there and she said they had a problem and it would be corrected tomorrow. Tomorrow turned into the next day then the next day etc to today. Dry campground no water. Told them I'd require a refund due to the issues and was told to fill out a form and it will take up to 14 days. The form says it will take THIRTY (14) days for a refund (that's not a typo on my part that's really what it says) Camper beware or at least informed now. (as a side note the folks working there are very nice and trying to do what they can, this place is just VERY POORLY managed) I've been traveling all over the country for work living in my camper for a few years now and this is absolutely the WORST excuse of a campground I've been to. These folks need to understand that honesty will get you a lot farther than false promises you can't deliver. -end rant
