Charge for each pet ??? your thoughts
If you were told that the RV park you normally stay at was going to add a new charge of $5.00 per dog per day to their already high costs what would your response be ?

I would like to hear from a park owner that has looked into insurance policy pricing for the campground that allows pets versus not allowing pets. If the charge is used to cover an increase in insurance cost because dogs are allowed, they are charging the correct patrons.
I don't like the idea floated by earlier posters relating the charge to park employees cleaning up after the dogs. This implies that if I pay my $5 I don't have to clean up the mess. I paid for someone else to do it.
Whether at home or on the road I clean up after the Collies. I do not want to step in it, I don't want the Collies to step in it, I don't want flies swarming the campsite, I don't want the smells. I to have checked in to find a unwanted (gift) in the campsite that I've had to clean up. Same with parents that think the fire pit is a place to dispose of baby diapers along with the bushes. I've had to clean up those as well. The worst was a large family from India. Where ever they got done with a plate of food or pop they just dropped it, trash everywhere. The owner of the campground made them pick up all their trash.
I wish campground employees would drive to the campsite with the client before and after the stay to verify it was clean and in order. It's not just dog owners that are slobs.
