QUOTE(hoefler @ Sep 25 2011, 05:05 PM)  I have had a well written review of a negative experience with a prominent RV park that would had been helpful for many others including my self, denied by the powers to be saying that it was something this site is not designed or intended to be used for. Maybe you should clarify those issues with the moderators and try again. I have not found them to be unreasonable, and in fact very fair. |

QUOTE(Gunship Guy @ Sep 4 2011, 09:51 AM) I recently read a review by someone who blamed a campground because their flip flops were stolen from the beach and their shower caddy disappeared after they, admittedly, left it in the shower. Seems to me this is more of a problem with your fellow campers, not the campground. To lower a campground's rating because of this is disingenuous. When giving reviews, please keep them directly related to what the campground offers and not your disappointment in the honesty of your fellow campers. We've had a couple of instances where our cooler was broken into at our campsite...to me that's a reflection of campground security or lack of it. I've rated lower because of this but it certainly wasn't a deal breaker with my online reviews...more of a heads up for other RVers who might be staying at the campground. Mike |

Mike I don`t know where you were camping but are you sure it was a person? Raccoons, Squirrels and other critters get real smart that live around a campground,  Wink -------------------- Home is where we park it.

Actually it was two beach area campgrounds...most likely teenagers Mike |

One of the parks that we have stayed at got a negative review because the user complained about the winds. Apparently they felt that the owners should somehow have been able to block the wind from blowing through their park. Of course the park was located in the middle of the Great Plains where high winds are pretty common. We have stayed at some parks in the Great Plains where it is against the rules to leave a canopy extended when you are absent. If you travel in the Great Plains, which covers from Texas to Canada, you can occasionally expect high winds and there is nothing a park owner can do about it.
