Pet Owners & Rv Park Reviews. Options

[Full-Timer RV'er]

I am kind of curious. One of my reviews was not posted / allowed because we had not actually stayed at the park. The reason we had not stayed at the park was because of our pets and the owners' views on them.

We have a pair of large (service animal) dogs, Labrador cross. We made reservations at this park. When we arrived the owner met us at our motorhome and asked to see the dogs prior to allowing us in the park. Now this is a "membership" park, and according to their advertising they are a pet friendly park, no breed restrictions.

Long story short she determined one of our dogs was an aggressive breed animal, demanded to see our service animal paperwork (which is against ADA), and then rudely told us it would be $5 per day per dog IF we stayed as that "people with service animals are lazy, and do not clean up after their dogs".

We left. We never made it past the front gate because we knew this was gonna be a hellish stay if we choose to bend to her will.

Now when I submitted this review, it was rejected because we hadn't actually stayed at this park; although there are other reviews of this parks from people who had experienced similar problems. As a pet owner I WANT to know IF I am going to run into a problem BEFORE I arrive or make reservations. Am I the only one? ? ? Just a little curious...

OK, you have tried to make your point again, so I will, too.

In your OP you stated that your review was deferred because you did not actually stay at the park. I wanted to clarify that the reason it was deferred was because it did not contain information about the park. You do not have to stay at a park in order to submit a review, but you do have to tell what the park is like, and that is exactly what the admin explained to you in the email you received.

As for the second review you quoted, it does not appear it follows our guidelines either and probably should have been deferred also--not because they didn't stay, but because there is no information about the park. However, each individual review is a judgement call, and some of the admins are more lenient than others. I guess your review was just done by the strict, mean one.
