Red Apple Campground - Kennebunkport, ME
Bottom line up front - the owner was rude and arrogant - kept deposit and gave away our site - while we were stranded on the side of I95 because of a tire blow out. Bad Apples .... We left MD ea...

As fast as they were able to give that spot away, I seriously doubt they are pining away for people to come and fill their sites. Trying to stay in business? That's a joke!
We see three or four no shows a week. Often, the people just plain decide their travel progress makes it simpler to stay elsewhere. We seldom get a phone call or message of any kind explaining why they didn't arrive.
The average person knows if you don't show up, the rest of your reservation is cancelled. It's that way with hotels, airlines, cruise ships, tours and most everything else. It was totally up to the guest to take 30 seconds and contact the park if they wanted to keep their reservation. My guess, until they actually secured the tires (they claimed they called around all night looking for them, though who calls tire dealers in the middle of the night?) they didn't want to commit to paying any more money to the park for a site they couldn't use should the tires not be available on the weekend. That's why they didn't try to secure the remainder of their reservation, not because it was too inconvenient.
