I was one adult three kids, so it was the same number of people staying at the site. I still had to pay the fee for the extra child.

I only had one child and often paid the rate for a family of four. I never asked for a discount-that was the going rate, period. I could take it or leave it. Too many other more important things to worry about than a potential $5 discount for having one less kid. However, I do agree that if the amenities are not available then you shouldn't be charged for them.

Oh, and put me in the camp with the others who think that it was ridiculous to make this post and not tell us where. Why are you hiding that?

As a single person, I've long since come to accept that I don't get a discount for having fewer than the standard "family of 4". However, I would take real issue with a place that charged me extra when I was within the limit of 4 persons. Being charged the same "family of 4" rate for having 3 in the family is fine - being charged the "family of 4" rate PLUS an extra person charge when I only have 4 persons, would be a deal breaker.

Exactly my point, thank you! My wife and I currently camp with just the two of us. We don't expect a discount because we don't have four people, but it did bother me just a little camping with my three boys and paying the extra fee. It wasn't a deal breaker, just a little bothersome.
