The owner of the former Roaring Run Resort in Donegal, Pennsylvania, faces three lawsuits: two from former members and one from the company that purchased the property in 2025 for $2.5 million. The members allege Jay Corl misrepresented how their memberships would be handled after the sale, with some seeking an injunction to prevent him from spending the proceeds. The new owner, 194 Tannery LLC, claims the membership agreements were not part of the sale and has since opened the RV park to the public, eliminating the membership model.
