Two Points:
1. The person posting the review must have felt that local knowledge of an area where an RV Resort is built will determine which direction the doors should face on the RV's due to normal weather/wind patterns.
For example: One of our RV Pads was changed 180 degrees because the wind would blow so hard the doors on the RVs would fly open and slam against the side of the RV.
2. There are always going to be reviews from folks who can't see past something like a black snake or the doors not facing the right direction. These same people will feel this one issue warrants a bad rating for the park. There will be other reviewers who rate high eventhough in their remarks they indicate many problems with the park. My favorite example is a park where there was raw sewage bubbling up in all of the shower stalls and some of the campsites plus the trash bins were overflowing the four days they were there. The RVer gave the park a 4 out of 5 stars.
I read the reviews and look for parks with lots of good and few bad remarks. I stay away from the parks with lots of bad reviews and only a few good reviews. I definitely ignore the reviews where the reviewers says something like "The park staff were mean to my kids and kept telling them to stop riding their skateboards in the park. We saw the signs saying no skateboard riding but kids will be kids". Or "The security guard kept telling us to be quiet. It was Saturday night and sure the park has a quiet rule at 10PM but it wasn't even midnight on a Saturday night"...
