Picnic Tables
It might be unimportant to some but wouldn't it be nice if CGs spent a few minutes a couple times a season going around & giving the tables a pressure washing to clean out the mildew & other grunge that builds up on them?

- A lot of the C. O. E. Parks we have been in have the tables pressure washed while we were camped. I don't know if that happens ever week or what.
They do the cover on the inside to get the cob webs and wasp out too. - Hey...we did it for you! That was one of our volunteer jobs for a national park. Another was scraping and staining those suckers. :(
It really would be nice if folks would help a little by washing the table themselves after slopping the food on them and by not setting their hot grills on them (carry your own grill table, please) or cutting into them. Thanks! - Actually I can do without the picnic tables. As you have experienced campground picnic tables can be a real mess and simply take up space.
- We always use a tablecloth. When ready to leave, I always wait till DH pulls out and check out the site looking for anything left behind and making sure the site is clean. It seems by the comments that everyone on RV.net leaves everything clean. I have never read a comment from anyone who leaves sites a mess. Mmmm...tales of shame are silent or everyone here does the right thing?
- I stayed at one CG that had a picnic table at each site and delivered a newspaper on it every morning. I read the paper and drank my coffee while sitting on the bench. I eat off the table inside my RV. I know who's been sitting on it - nobody.
- A 99cent disposable tablecloth is a must for us. I've seen people let their dogs sit up on the table. No matter if the table was pressure washed before the season started, who knows what was on there since?
