Disabled patrons get priority for ADA sites. First come first served you could not make reservations BUT if someone is in the site without a disability they are required to share it or vacate it for you. Contact http://m.gtlc.com/lodging.html
For non-disabled they are allowed to take the site if it is the last available but are notified by a posted sign (and usually a host too) about the same.
So, if understanding correctly, the non ADA comes in, is given the last availalable site, ADA or otherwise. Later the ADA comes in, no reservation, & the non ADA is kicked out with nowhere to go? Is that how it is?
Don't misunderstand me, I am all for helping the disabled but booting somebody out of a campsite because you have extended your day to the fullest & then expect somebody to be kicked out with noplace to go, if necessary, to accomodate you, does not seem quite fair.
If the non ADA took the site when other, non ADA, were available, then too bad. Get out. You rolled the dice & lost.
The standard a business has to comply with is they must accommodate the request for an ADA compliant room is "reasonable". It would be "unreasonable" to kick someone out of site if they had nowhere else to go. It is probably unreasonable to even make them move to another site if they are already on site. It would probably not be unreasonable to move a non checked in reservation to another site to accommodate a disabled guest. It is all basically a moot point, since there is no ADA mandates for RV sites. Now a business has every right to set aside certain sites for certain usages, but legally, holding a long site for a motorhome pulling an enclosed car hauler is the same as holding a site for a disabled guest's use. The park can do basically whatever they want. If electricity is a must I would either call and make sure you can get one of those sites or make a reservation at a park where electricity is guaranteed. Leaving it up to chance doesn't make much sense.
