Reports of age discrimination occuring in Northwoods area campground.

Age discrimination, discrimination against people with handicaps, reported by multiple tenants of trailer campground near Tomahawk.

As it appears, there are reports of age discrimination at a trailer campground near the northern Wisconsin city of Tomahawk. Multiple tenants and campers of the campground, known as Pine Pointe (formerly Surewood Forest) are reporting that the new owners of the campground, Tom and Dena Wulf, have been bullying and threatening campers and tenants, interrupting barbecues and get-togethers, harassing campers and tenants and threatening physical harm.

Multiple tenants, including that have been camping there for multiple decades, also say Mr and Ms Wulf have been throwing people out of the campground that are of certain ages and have also been throwing persons out of the campgrounds that have handicaps, including autism, Down's syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Spina-Bifita, and persons in wheelchairs, and that they have threatened physical harm to all such persons since they took over.

The Wulfs have also forcefully evicted a number of campers from their trailers and confiscated their trailers because the tenants were of senior citizen age and also for having family members with autism, Cerebral Palsy, Spina-Bifita, and members in wheelchairs, with the evicted tenants having never been late on rent payments in multiple cases. Many campers have demonstrated that they feel unsafe with the Wulfs in charge of the campground as the Wulfs have also yelled and screamed using profanity and verbal threats aimed exclusively at persons in wheelchairs, persons with handicaps, and senior citizens within the campground. The Wulfs reportedly took over the campground in 2019.

The Wulfs can not be allowed to run a campground in the state of Wisconsin, especially with those kinds of behaviors. Honestly in fact, the Wulfs belong back in DuPage County, Illinois, where age discrimination and discrimination against persons with disabilities is nothing but widespread, and Illinois as a state purposefully flouts the Americans with Disabilities Act, exactly like the Wulfs do.

As there is no Patch for Tomahawk, Wisconsin, Madison is clearly the place, for now, to post what goes on in Wisconsin's Northwoods area. Plus this will get the Wisconsin legislation after the Wulfs. Maybe even interview some of the old time campers of the roughly 120-site campground, because as far as I know it, what the Wulfs are doing is in fact totally illegal.
