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 ?

- We stayed at an Oregon State park. The particular site we chose had a cabin on the rear of the site and an RV pad up front. The site had a flat fee, but when we arrived we received a $10 per night discount for no pets. By the way, Silver Falls State Park.
- I'd vote with my tires and be down the road unless I had a need to stay.

Over the years, I have heard enough people claim they always pick up after their pets that I have concluded the real problem is the Tooth Fairy's evil twin, The Waste Bag Emptier. Apparently, he goes around when no one is looking and dumps the contents of all those waste bags onto the ground. At least he doesn't enter your RV, trades the contents of the bag for a tooth and then leave it under your pillow.
Too many people don't pick up after their pets. If the owner has to pay someone to constantly go around and clean up dog do, you couldn't blame them for charging extra. They could just raise the rates, but that wouldn't be fair to others who don't own pets. According to EVERYONE, they always pick up after their pets. The evidence seems to say otherwise.
I'm OK with the fee because that evil twin shows up at every CG I go to.- I'd thank them for giving me a heads up so I can make an informed decision.
If you like the place, keep going. If not, move on.
Mike - Their campground their rules, my money my choice.
It really doesn't mater what others think. - I would go elsewhere if it were me.
- $5 per pet? They better have an extremely nice fenced in pet area with plenty of trash receptacles. And maybe a little pet drinking fountain!
I stay away from the places that have breed restrictions. You know the ones that will ban a family German shepherd but let in the yappy lap dogs that bite way more than any family large dog ever would! - I fully understand it.
Think of the parks landscaping cost !
Guy - That’s good that they are doing that and one of the main reasons that yhey do it is probably because people don’t pick up after their pets. I don’t mean you, its the other people
- We didn't have our dogs with us very often but I have no issue with that. As winniman stated too many people don't pick up after their dogs. I personally like the campgrounds that start with a base rate for 2 (as long as it's not over the top) and then do an a la carte type fee structure. I always willingly paid for 4 when we only had 3 in the hopes that the person with 5 or 6 got a bit of a break. Shop with your feet. I also believe that if it's where you want to be when you want to be there it's not too expensive but I'll also be the first to say we had a pretty large budget for travel.
