Echo Farm Campground Inc

Where to begin. This journey half of the time was a nightmare. I will start by saying we like Danielle the manager of the grounds, I just want to clarify that before we go any further, but she could have done more to assist us us with the issues rather than allowing this to get to the level it did. I’ll summarize and then you can continue to read if you like. DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE UNLESS THEY ACT LIKE GRUMPY OLD MEN. This place is full of people who fabricate stories and campers and manager and other members can attest to that.
For starters, it was not Danielle with whom I spoke when I arrived. There was another woman here and she had no information on our booking, other then she was told we were coming. After waiting, we then met Danielle. She told us that the campsite they had us booked in someone else had trouble getting their RV into and she would show us other sites that we felt comfortable getting our camper into. We asked her if she had a smaller truck we could use to maneuver our camper into the site (most grounds do) and she laughed saying there was a reason the camp grounds were purchased and that they had nothing. We then picked our site that we thought was perfect. What she neglected to tell us was that we were surrounded by senior citizens. We have a family with six children ages 7 – 2. One of the children, is my six-​year-​old nephew who has ADHD and Tourette’s and we do our best to keep him grounded however at times it is difficult. No one is understanding of this, they just look at him as an unruly child and they openly talked about him to people sometimes in front of him. As you can imagine a child’s feelings would be hurt having someone say bad things about him right in front of him.
The people around us had done nothing but complain since day one for children doing nothing more than simply being children. The complaints address against us which have forced my family to leave, are as follows.
More than two cars on our campsite. Many sites have more than one car, but again we were targeted.
Children being noisy (as kids are).
Children taking toys at the pool. Every child at this campground used our toys at the pool without even asking, we always made sure our children asked and we double checked there were no issues with parents only the elderly complainers looking to have us moved.
Honking our car horns after hours. The letter written to us states LOCKING OF DOORS so much for security.
Child entering neighbors RV, and child breaking property. Allow me to clarify those last two complaints, my son who is 2 opened our neighbors shed door while I stepped inside to grab him his bathing suit. I addressed the situation at that moment apologizing and requesting he be more understanding that he is a child. I also suggested that maybe he put a lock on his shed, he didn’t like that. The other complaint references a reflector marking a driveway that was broken, this was brought to our attention by the same neighbor. We apologized and said we would go and buy him a new reflector however our Walmart did not carry the reflector that he had. Because we did not buy him a reflector as quicky as he would like (mind you this maybe 3 days later) he complained to management. He informed of this during his rant about my son opening his shed door.
There were 3 pools at this campground before now there is only one, and the elderly people make it very clear that they do not like this. The pool has 4 sections 1, 3, 4, and 5 feet. they continually say that children are not allowed in the Five foot even if they can swim. Mind you, there is no sign anywhere that says children cannot be in that part of the pool. The only signs say that there are no lifeguards on duty and children must be accompanied by adults. However the miserable people here have taken claim to the 5 foot because of their disappointment with the three pools now becoming one. They are very vocal about this, just ask them! As I listed I have a two-​year-​old but they don’t want him in the 1 foot part of the pool either when they are sitting there trying to read their books. So let me ask you this, where is my two year supposed to swim? Should we just not allow children at the pool because you’re miserable? Those who have complained about children using toys at the pool have no children, they are not their kids they are not their toys, however they feel that it is their duty to go and complain even though the parents of the children who actually have purchased the toys have no problems with the children at the pool sharing toys. These people are ridiculous.
We have family that has been here for 15 plus years, we have had our children here before with no problems, but since we decided to make it our seasonal home we have had nothing but problems. All of our issues could have been sorted with a simple campsite move at the beginning of our stay but instead they allowed people to continue to fabricate stories and this has forced us to go.

Relatively small Trailor/​RV camp although there are 300 sites with 3 pools and super quiet yet close to sea isle city with rt 9 at your back. They charge for Wifi which is pathetic and aren’t really on the ball but they’re very friendly and at $ 50ish a night for complete RV hookups the price is right (mostly seasonals) for a weekend getaway close to the ocean with plenty of scavenge able wood Bonus.
