IF he was a camp host, he'd have had a trailer in "camp host spot" --
And no one in their right mind would 'bust you' for waiting til AM and pay the vendor or park personnel once you explain the reasoning.
There are times when we camp in distant sites where the honor system says: Put cash in envelope, no checks. Never happen - we always put a check - why? no receipt that we paid. Never once have we ever been 'called on it' - and the check always clears eventually.
Only once: Believe this one ! We return home and found a check stamped void we'd put in a box somewhere (I seem to recall OK, or Neb) and a note: We don't take checks - please pay cash.
Hmmm, we were back in Massachusetts by then. So, took the note, and a check, mailed it back. Never heard another word.
