The local areas think that if they go after the boondockers, that all the people out there will magically go to the RV parks and patronize the local towns, making a tidy profit for the local businesses. What really happens is that people go elsewhere, and the town makes less money from tourists long-term, especially when the local RV parks are full.
I have to agree with that. I rarely ever stay in a commercial park and it’s not because I don’t like campground owners or want to put them out of business. What they have to offer me is nothing more than I could get “camping” in the city. Blacktop, pavement, neighbors within spittin’ distance, pools, rec centers, playgrounds, etc.
I might as well sell my TT because that’s exactly what I’m trying to get away from.
If they were willing to bulldoze all that out, remove the utilities and give me 100 yd to the next campsite they might get more of my business. But that’s not going to happen. They serve a niche market and they should be satisfied with that. Trying to coerce people into using their facilities is counterproductive; they will just make a lot of enemies and not gain any more business.
