I also fully agree.
Our younguns are adults and we do not look forward to a place with kids running all over - we taught ours the 3 R's ---- Respect for self, Respect for others & Responsibility for our own actions.
In general, that is not taught anymore and we really don't like kids - or adults who act like kids - tromping thru our site, etc.
We even once - because they had filled their site with a tent next too the trailer - pitch a tent for their kids on OUR site. The management of the place said to just ignore them! Oh, they also used our picnic table and even pulled it alongside theirs. Let's just say we addressed the issue ourselves until we could leave early the next day. The manager would not give us a refund but the asst mgr pulled us aside and told us to come back in an hour when the manager would be gone and she would give us our money back. And she did. She was to become the manager the end of the month; maybe that turned things around there.
Sorry I digressed.
We LOVE Catalina State Park on the other side of Tucson from us. Go to their website sometime - private parks / campgrounds could learn lessons on how to show pictures of sites from them.
