Hey guys -- thank you for allowing my club CDJW to stay with you. You were very welcoming and accommodating and from what I experienced, a good group of guys that I would've liked to have gotten to know better.
Unfortunately I have a bad experience to notify the WAYALIFE community about Eco Valley campgrounds. If I have my way it will keep CDJW from coming back in the future to the campground.
Our group was planning to stay two nights, I found that a couple guys were going home after one so I decided I was going to go too.
I went to the front desk with receipt in hand to ask for a refund. I told the (what was a) nice lady from the evening before my problem. She said "well... Checkout was at noon" as she started To search for our sign in card and I told her "I was here at 7:30 this morning, my guys and all the guys I stayed with can vouch for the fact that Rausch creek opening at 9 -- a full hour before your office opened -- and I wanted to get some breakfast before I headed over there" so I came back as soon as possible after we were done.
When she found my card she accused me of not going home and opting to go to a hotel instead for the night.
(???)
I started to become irritated.
She said "well, I finished my books for the night, and you paid credit, so I lost money there too" and I said "I'm sorry, you can take whatever the transaction fee is out of my refund" -- still trying to be more accommodating than she was going to be...
She said as she whipped her calculator out "well... That minus the 5 hours past checkout..."
I said "hold it -- I guess it's clear you need the $34 more than I do, I'll be sure to tell all my jeep buddies that I came with at the pavilions, I can't speak for WAYALIFE, but I'll inform them too -- my guys will find other accommodations next year, keep the $34."

I hope you guys have a pleasant time there the rest of your stay, this is one guy who won't go back there. I'll stay right at Rausch next year -- or perhaps the unmentioned hotel.
