Who designs campgrounds?

I know of a few campgrounds around where I live...some of which I like and some I don't. What amazes me is what LITTLE cost they need to spend to resolve some of these simple problems for which they keep getting BURIED in the reviews... one example is one of my favorite campgrounds where they don't allow your pet off site. owner refuses to change his pet policy and is paying for it in loss of business....

How do you know he is losing business? Maybe for every person who doesn't like the policy and chooses to stay elsewhere, there are two people who choose the park precisely because of the policy. Just because it might not be ideal for you, it might work for the park.
As for hookups, within the last 10 posts there was a guy who said he needed to be within 6 feet of the sewer connection to use his system and a guy who said he needed to be a minimum of 10 feet away. Hard to meet the needs of both. There is little rhyme or reason to the placement of connections on RVs. Rigs have sewer, water and power connections at the middle, in the far rear and every place in between. A long fifth wheel with rear connections is going to have those connections a long way away from the connections of a motorhome towing an enclosed car hauler when both are parked in the same site.
Other posts have complained about the placement of trees. Often, the trees pre-date the park. That leaves the option of either engineering the park around the trees and sometimes having a less than ideal pathway to enter or leave the site, or cutting down the trees and having a barren park. Again, it is an issue of compromise.
