Do you really want your site fees to reflect the cost of have 24/7/365 live telephone support? At $15.00 an hour (which is too low, operator salary, plus benefits, unemployment insurance, workman's comp and employer taxes would exceed that much) a single full time operator would cost $131,000 a year. A medium size park (100 sites) would probably have 10,000 camper nights, so your operator will cost you $13.00 a night in additional site fees. Not worth it to me.
Some campgrounds don't even answer the phone! Let alone post rates. It is an old school business run by old school people.
