Come on owners/managers talk to us

[challenger99]

To start, recognize that there will be negative posts, from both sides, but then there are a lot of negative people out there.
Owners/managers tell us what we can do that will make our stay more enjoyable for both of us.Be realistic and general in nature, don't negatively highlite something because of what one RVer did.
RVers tell the owner/managers what they can do to make our stay more enjoyable for both of us. Again, don't be campground specific or totally negative because of one bad, in your opinion, experience.
We need each other, no owner/managers no place to park our RVs; no RVers no one to fill your sites and pay your wages.

It will be interesting to see if you get any response. I sent a survey Tuesday to Morgan RV Resorts regarding Waubeeka Family CG in Copake NY. I don't expect to get a response.

We don't often stay in RV parks, but when we do, we expect the people checking us in to know whether or not we'll fit in a site and which sites have satellite TV access for our roof-mounted dome. I also don't want to be told that the RV park has Wi-Fi if it isn't available in every spot...I'm not going to lug my laptop down to some central location just so that I can get online (which isn't often too much of a problem because we use a Verizon air card, and have been able to access the Internet in some pretty remote locations). And I want the sites to be level so that we can park without having to jack up one side or another. And the trees, both getting to the site and in the site should be trimmed so that we don't tear holes in our roof from overhanging branches.

We do NOT need to be entertained, so we don't need the park to provide activities. Our fifth wheel has its own bathroom, so we do not need the RV park to provide toilets or showers. We also have our own washer & dryer, so don't need those provided by the park.

In short, we're pretty self-sufficient so we just want a quiet, level place to stay where we can get our satellite TV tuned in and with sites wide enough that we can't shake hands with our neighbor from our windows.

Ditto pretty much what was posted. I would appreciate when a campground posts on their website when they say they can accommodate big rigs that they include a size. Today many of us are traveling in rigs 40' and larger. Knowing that you can easily maneuver through a park is a big PLUS to me. The other problem I sometime encounter is low hanging tree branches. Please! trim those tree limbs to allow for higher motorhomes, say 13 feet.

What about electic? We have been in two different rv parks in upstate NY, with insufficent electic. We have stayed seasonally, and paid a hefty price for our site, but the electic is so bad, we can't even run our air conditioner, or microwave. It seems to be a common problem here in NY.

Remove tree branches that hang and hit the top of RV's. Keep your information up to date. It is always nice to have a recreation hall, but it isn't important. Newspapers to buy, information of the area, and honesty of the amenities. Wi-fi, pool, laundry, etc. We are good campers, cleaning up after ourselves and taking our trash to the dumpster. We really enjoy the BLM, COE, and State parks. They always have just what they say they do. No amenities, low fees. It is a nights rest when we are on the road. We don't need much. If the fee is too high then we can go to Wal-Mart , truck stop, Flying J or any of the others that give you a nights rest, FREE. Most of the Campgrounds that are affiliated with clubs, Passport, Good Sam, Skp, etc are good and the ones we seek out first. We especially go for a passport first on our list. Most CG owners are friendly and helpful. We have only had bad experiences at one "Chain" and I won't mention it. Hope this helps. We are full timers and are on the road about 2 months. We winter in Texas and Camp hosts up north for 4 months.
