This place has been a nonstop headache.
We’ve been long-term residents at Jetstream RV Resort in Wharton, and I can say with complete honesty that this property has gone downhill fast — and hard. What was once a well-managed, clean, and respectable place to stay has become a total mess under the current leadership.
Let’s start with the basics. The grass is regularly waist-high, and I’m not exaggerating — we’ve had to cut our own lawn multiple times just to keep our area livable. The pool is either disgusting or closed, and the laundry machines almost never work. The resort provides none of the amenities we’re paying for.
The streetlights in the back of the property haven’t worked in months, leaving it pitch dark at night. Vehicles have been broken into, and the situation has gotten so serious that it’s now part of a federal case. Security is nonexistent, and the management shows zero urgency or concern.
Then there’s the incompetence and unethical behavior from management. We were falsely accused — in writing — of theft of service, a criminal offense under Texas law, simply for being 11 days late on rent after they failed to deliver our invoice. We had reached out multiple times requesting it, and they admitted later there was a known email issue. But instead of simply taping a copy to our door (like they did the threatening notice), they let it escalate and tried to make us look like criminals.
To make matters worse, management has repeatedly tried to run our bank card without authorization, which caused a freeze on our account — located out of state — and forced us to deal with our bank in person to clear it up. That’s not just an inconvenience, it’s shady and dangerous.
It doesn’t stop there. A former staff member recorded surveillance footage of my son onto her personal phone and showed it to other guests, mocking him in the process. She was eventually fired, but the fact that this happened at all is disturbing. I still have the video and audio, and I deeply regret not pursuing it legally at the time — but I chose to give them the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake.
Through all of this, Sarah has been the only employee who’s ever acted professionally or shown that she truly cares about the residents. She ran this place single-handedly for a while and bent over backwards to help people. The contrast between her and the rest of the staff is staggering.
If you’re considering staying here — don’t. What used to be a full, thriving resort is now half-empty and falling apart. You’ll pay resort prices for neglected property, broken amenities, zero accountability, and staff who treat long-term residents like problems instead of people.
Avoid this place. It’s not worth the stress. Please see attached photo’s..
