Duplicate Park Listings Options

[Jerry S.]

I know I could have relayed this information to the Admins via the "contact us" feature but I decided to post instead. Among other things, readers will be reminded to check to see if the park they are reviewing is already listed.

The AVI Casino RV park is listed twice under Laughlin, NV. One loists it AVI and one adds KOA to the name. These seperate listings are for the same park.

The Swinging Bridge RV park in Mississippi is listed under both Jackson and Byram. You will notice that the number of sites are close and the phone number is the same. Byram is the proper city for the park to be listed under.

I noticed these duplications because these parks were recently reviewed and I have been to them in the past. I tend to check reviews of parks I have been to.

Additionally, I question whether or not the recently posted 1 or 2 star review of AVI should have been approved. Last year I had a review rejected because the "checker" felt I did not say enough about the RV park. This AVI review complains about the park being 15 miles south of Laughlin (somebody did not do their research) and talks about how small the casino is. Except for location, there is nothing in the review about the RV park. So this park (that get lots of good reviews) is given a lousy review because the reviewer didn't do research to find out where it was and the the casino is small. There was not a word about the park's facilities, conditions in the park, the reviewers experience in the park, etc..

Well, if you are looking into things, there are double entries for Lake in Wood Campground in PA. One shows it in Bowmansville and the other shows it in Narvon. I do think the mailing address is Narvon.

Thanks for letting us know. This is the type of listing that drives us nuts. The address of the park is definitely listed as being in Narvon. This is not just a mailing address; the park actually sits at this address. However, this puts it just outside Bowmansville (3 mi) which is closer than Navron (7mi). Therefore, it looks like the address should be in Bowmansville, but it is not. We now have it listed under Narvon. Thanks again.

I sometimes feel the same way especially when I'm planning my trips. You look for a campground in a geographical location, but a reviewer incorrectly has used a mailing address that was printed on a flyer, campground map, or another handout. It happens more often with campgrounds that are in sparsely poplulated areas where the nearest post office is in a seperate town. State parks, USFS, COE, are bad about putting headquarters/office addresses on their handouts that don't coincide with their physical location.

I have found that the website admin section is really good about making the change if you just email them, but reviewers should help by researching for the correct information.
