For Kosmo Village Campground: UPDATE: We just had to file a police report for stalking and harassment against the management at Kosmo/Stoney Run. We fortunately found someone who helped us pull our trailer out of the thick mud and half a foot deep pools of water without further damaging it (thank God) and tow us out of this toxic swamp pit (btw...it's important to note that they also have a serious sewage problem... it's seeping up out of the ground and mixing in with the pools of water...by the time we left, our trailer was sitting on a literal toxic cesspool). He wasn't able to move us until after he finished work at 8pm last night and we arrived at our new park - KOA North Richmond/Kings Dominion - about an hour later. We were so relieved to be safe and out of that horrible mess... and this place is GORGEOUS - level, concrete lots, four times the size of the lots at Stoney Swamp Pit, not one drop of water anywhere, beautiful trees everywhere, full hookup, free wifi AND cable, hot showers, laundromat, convenience store, and it's only $30 PER NIGHT... $15 CHEAPER than what we were being charged for living on top of a cesspool!!!!!! We complained to management at least twice a week during our four-week stay (unfortunately, we paid in cash upfront) and literally begged them to move us to another lot and they refused. The severely uneven, swampy lot also caused serious damage to our trailer. And they did N-O-T-H-I-N-G. We were so relieved to get out last night. I went to work this morning and my girlfriend was home at the trailer with our dogs when someone started pounding so hard on our door that the trailer was shaking. When she opened the door, she was shocked to see two managers from Swampy Slum Lot at the door demanding that she immediately pay them $255 dollars ($45 per night for four nights - even though we made it clear they were not getting ONE more cent from us unless we were moved immediately to another lot that wasn't a cesspool) and a $75 "cleanup" fee because we left a couple pieces of wood and two small tires behind that were covered in sewage and mud that we were not about to touch, let alone put INTO our car or trailer. When my girlfriend asked them how they even knew where we were staying and how they found our trailer, they refused to answer and threatened to call the police if she didn't pay them "right now." She informed them what they were doing was illegal and not to bother calling the police because she was doing it for them... then they ran away back to their car and sped off. They also called her phone incessantly and left two nasty voicemail messages (AND actually called her FATHER FIVE TIMES demanding money from him - they had his number as an emergency contact). Their behavior is shocking, disgusting and illegal. We already filed the report and will also be filing a complaint with the CFPB. DO...NOT...STAY....HERE. These people are dangerous and unlawful.

For Kosmo Village Campground: WARNING!! DO NOT STAY AT KOSMO VILLAGE CAMPGROUND & RV PARK (FORMERLY KNOWN AS STONY RUN VILLAGE CAMPGROUND & RV PARK). It's bad enough that we just lost our home and ALL of our belongings (clothes, pictures, furniture, etc.) due to it being condemned from a toxic mold infestation that also made us both very ill, but we unfortunately made the absolute worst mistake we ever could have ever made at this time in our lives by choosing to stay at Kosmo/Stony Run Village Campground in the travel trailer a family member graciously gave to us because we were homeless and couldn't find anyone to rent to us (because we have three large dogs, even though they trained and well-behaved).
We were so relieved and thankful to be safe and have a roof over our heads... until the first rainfall, approximately two days after we got here. The lot space they assigned to us is much lower and more compromised than any other space in this "park" (which, by the way, is just a large gravel/dirt parking lot) even though the ENTIRE LOT is muddy/wet, our space just happens to be the worst, and is now a literal LAKE OF WATER.
There is nothing else here. Just a parking lot. Not even restrooms/hot showers. Nothing. Just gravel, dirt and tons and tons of thick mud and POOLS OF WATER THREE TO SIX INCHES DEEP.
And they have the nerve to charge $700 a month for the "privilege" of placing an RV/travel trailer in their flooded parking lot?? That price also includes the ability to hook up to basic water and sewer lines and plug into electricity, and "free Wifi," which never works, and if it does, it's either three o'clock in the morning or it repeatedly connects and disconnects every minute or so, making it impossible to complete a simple phone call or send an email. Oh, and I almost forgot! It also includes the pleasure of NONSTOP noise from tractor trailers clanging, banging and backfiring past every minute of the day/night, since the Kosmo Mud Lot is RIGHT SMACK UP AGAINST busy Route 1 without any buffer at all.
We asked management for help as soon as we saw the lake of water forming around us and realized a very noticeable shift in the stability of our trailer that was now sinking to one side and shaking whenever we - or one of our dogs - took a step. We had no idea what to do because we've never stayed in a trailer before and we haven't the slightest clue how to rebalance/stabilize one... which we SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO DO ONCE OUR FAMILY MEMBER SET IT UP PROPERLY FOR US... if we had been placed on a PROPER, SAFE LOT, which we were not.
They waited almost 24 hours to drop off some pieces of hay and a few flat cement "stepping blocks" to place under our steps so that when we exit the camper, we don't sink ankle-deep into mud/water.
However, it's still a complete muddy, flooded mess around our entire camper and we are still sinking, but at least we can step outside with only minimal damage and then try our best to leap from the block to a slightly higher piece of ground that isn't as deeply flooded. Unfortunately, though, my 15-year, sick dog cannot make that leap, so every time we take him out to potty, which is all hours of the day and night, he is literally drenched in mud and water every single time.
We've been here two weeks and it gets worse every day. We now have irreparable damage to our camper from the imbalance/sinking (cracked and weakened floor/walls) and they refuse to move us or refund our money so we go somewhere else that won't further damage the only home we have now. We are stuck here, helplessly waiting for our home to crack in half or tip completely over and no one cares. TRUST US...STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE or you may wind up suffering like us.

For Kosmo Village Campground: Kosmo Village is a no frills campground. Location convenient to get to. Right off Route 1. No view and not a park-like setting, but we used it as a stopover and it was fine. Level sites and good hookups.
