Tents at RV Sites
I'm thinking of bringing a tent with me to allow my 1 year old a place to crawl around outside and get out of the sun and bugs. This will also double as a spot for my 11 year old to camp out with her ...

Having hosted at a county park for 3 years, they had a rule of 1 rv and 1 tent was allowed.
But the tent or RV could only have under age 18 in the extra unit!
I know that sounds wrong and had some reason that they would not leave their kids in a tent by themselves without supervision!
What I would tell those people that if you crawl in that tent, I could care less because the ranger does not open tent to do bed checks!
The reason the rule reads like that is because some parties would come out in groups of 6 or 8 adult couples and take a site and spread 3 or 4 tents in one spot and paying for one unit! That many adults in that situation screams party and camping neighbors being bothered after quiet hours!
We did have a group arrive and it got drunk and loud and the ranger was called at 1 in the AM. He told them that he was not going to send them out on the roads in their condition! But he should ticket them all but the registered camper for after hours violation and public intox and have them hauled into the county drunk tank!
The argument they gave the Ranger was that the rule wasn't posted and he showed them on their registration tag the rule and it was on the kiosk. They also offered to pay the non electric rate because only one of them was using the electric, they were told that they would pay the electric rate and 3 tents had better be gone by the time the park opened later on and that if they did not pay on the way out that he would pursue it!
The same old rebuttal! "You need to put up a big F@#%ing sign"!
If there was a big ------- sign for every rule ,the park would be nothing but billboards!
I just think that its easy to find out about the rules before you pitch that extra tent! Why mess up a perfectly good weekend because a rule didn't fit your agenda and then the park in a no go for anther time!
