I don't normally go on such a rant, but this woman just ripped us off and I thought everyone should know of it.
I took in two 30# propane tanks... each hold 7.5 gallons and have been filled many times by other establishments. At this establishment, I personally saw the attendant reset the dial to an incorrect setting before filling our tanks. When I called him on his behavior, he said, "Ok, I will tell the main office that you only got 12.5 gallons instead of 15 in these two tanks." I go inside to pay for the gas only to hear him on the radio tell them it was 13.5 and the lady at the front desk tells me I have to pay for a "fill charge" as they don't fill them by the gallon. I asked her to call the park owner. Which she politely did. That is where the polite behavior ended. I spoke to the owner Alive Oltmer and was told that the Rail Road Commission (Texas' regulatory agency for propane, gas, etc) would not let her fill the tanks differently. This is hog wash to say the least. I am VERY familiar with the Railroad Commission as I have done work for the commission for years. Their rules and regulations are my bread and butter as a consultant actually. So this lady was lying to the wrong person. The bottom line, I felt so uncomfortable for the sweet lady at the front desk that I paid her in full after Alice hung up the phone on me. But it will be a cold day in ____ before I ever go back to this place. I will be filing a BBB complaint tomorrow morning as well as a formal complaint with the Railroad Commission. BEWARE IF YOU DEAL WITH THIS PLACE. THEY ARE THIEVES!! I hope she enjoys the $18.00 she ripped me off for. I hope it was worth what it will cost her in the end. By the way... their price per gallon is $3.85 which is about $1.10 per gallon more than I have paid just last week down the road in Georgetown (about 20 miles south). |

Hi Lindsay etal, We look forward to seeing you and having a great chat or two. We will still have many of our winter campers in the park at that time. They are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, so I know we can show you a great time. Make sure to introduce yourself when you arrive. Doug |
