A lot of the ACE campgrounds in MS are showing half or more of their sites as "walk up" and won't allow reservations. Is this something new? I don't like to go to a campground on the premise of maybe I can get a site.

Speaking as a manager for a campground I see it differently. We don't take reservations any more. We have had people call, give me their credit card info and then not show up. Turns out the CC info was phony and I had saved the spot for nothing. (This has happened several times) Our office closes at 7 but I am on call 24/7/365. People call tell me they will be there a bit late and I have ended up sleeping on the couch waiting for an inconsiderate person that never showed or called. If you call this morning I will save you a spot but that is as far ahead as I go and, even then we get stood up. We even had a man call and found out later that he made reservations with 3 different campgrounds in our town for the same time and kept none of them. Inconsiderate people always seem to ruin things for the good folks.

I'm workamping at a campground that does. Also at this campground if people are late we put a envelope out on the door with their name and site number on it. Inside is a site map, where they need to park. That way don't have to wait for them. -------------------- Nolan and JoAnn
