The Escapees park in Benson has nice facilities. Be aware that you may be placed in a site owned by one of the community members who is not occupying their site at the present time. We were placed in such a site and the adjacent neighbors were definitely not happy that the site was being rented out and transients were coming and going and they let their feelings be known. It seemed to be a close nit community and many were not very welcoming or just completely ignored strangers(transient newcomers). We never got the infamous SKP hugs. If my memory is correct, there were a number of transient sites all located together in a row on one side of the park. I would try to get one of those.

Those other folks should know how it works. I'm an Escapee and have stayed at several of their CGs. If you decide to 'buy-in' and get a permanent site, you then have the option of allowing management to place a transient at your site when you are traveling. This a good thing as the collected fees go into the community kitty which can decrease any yearly surcharge the community members pay.

I'm very surprised they acted that way.

We have stayed at other parks (not affiliated with Escapees) where the rentals are sites owned or long term leased and rerented when vacant. We have encountered similar attitudes by the adjacent owners. For that reason we now prefer to stay away from parks of that type if at all possible.
