haggling on camping prices
Hi, Anyone haggling over the price of a camping site? If you do, what do you say to the owner/manager of the facility?

I'm fine with someone bargaining away. I'll agree to any discounted price you offer provided you agree to do one simple thing, reimburse every other person in the park the difference in price you agree to pay for the night and the price they paid.
It isn't fair or good business to offer different prices for sites based on someone's negotiating skills. The first thing that will happen when you give someone a site for less than others have paid is they will go bragging about it to their neighbors. Then those people will feel cheated. Now you have one happy camper and two or more unhappy. Not worth it.
We give the standard discounts Good Sam, Seniors, Active Military, Weekly and Monthly. That's it. Make a big stink about haggling and I'll just tell you the park isn't going to work for you and you should probably find another park that is within you budget.
