Briery Creek Lake Getaway

RVers and Campers BEWARE!! The reviews on this place and the owner, STAN LYLES are all legit. He is very unstable and my family was frightened to be alone at night. I needed a place for three months and was really hesitant because of the reviews but it was close to where I was working and the price was right. I was charged $750 for the month and it had to be CASH ONLY. I worked at night and it was in the middle of a torturous hot July. The temps inside my camper were reaching 85-90 degrees while I was trying to sleep. My solution was to invest in sunshades for the two sides of the camper that got the most sun. Stan lended me a ladder and a drill to install the anchor points on the roof. The shades went up on Friday. 5 days later I get a text while at work. "What you have around your camper, I don't like it, I want it down". I replied back. "OK, No problem, I was just trying to battle the heat." The next morning I get another text. "TODAY Mr. Adkins". I'm an ICU nurse and work 12 hour shifts, so again I text back, "I worked last night and need to get some sleep. I'll have them down first thing in the morning." I knew I was going to have to find another place because this place doesn't have a single tree that can provide shade. So I get three texts from Stan, back to back, but I'm sleeping at this point. "Shades today" "Thank you!!" "Today now OK". When I don't respond he BANGS!! on my door at 1:00. I've been asleep an hour and a half. He's yelling and tells me to take them down NOW! I repeated to him that I need to sleep and will take care of them first thing in the morning. He is screaming at this point, losing his mind. He says, "Take them down now or I'll shut off your electric!". I said, "Stan, you can't do that it's illegal." He responds, "The hell I can't!" Then he disconnects my electric. I now have no AC, I've had no sleep, and the feel like temp outside is 106. I had to call the Sheriff out there to make Stan turn my electric back on and inform him of his liability and the repercussions should he not comply. DId I mention the night before, while he was texting me at work, my wife said he was driving through the park and kept circling the camper most of the night. She was scared to go outside. The two deputies that responded said this is a common occurrence with Stan and they've been out there multiple times to resolve conflicts when he's done the same thing to other people. I had to leave 10 days before the end of my first month with no reimbursement. I have an 18 month old foster child who is special needs and has respiratory problems. I couldn't risk another one of Stan's episodes and losing my AC. One prior review mentions an encounter with an interracial couple that he had turned away before even renting to them. I can't help but speculate that the day before this all happened my wife and kids, who aren't normally with me, arrived for the last week of their summer vacation. The special needs foster child is African American, and we are not. If necessary you can request a copy of the police report CFS PECF523-04788, Deputy Graves #97. If possible, I'll also post pics of his almost empty RV park and shades that he lost his mind over. The entire 20 days there was just me and another RVer that I think was working off his rent by helping Stan keep up with the weeds. If you chance it with Stan and have a similar experience please post it so that others are aware. I wouldn't be surprised if one day, things get physical.
