I went boating last weekend with my cousin . She and her friend were camping at Robert Treman SP. We had a good day out on Saturday. She told me, she camped until Monday,park got kinda empty . Then A guy and his wife brought a pitbull and was camping next to her. She was always afraid of dogs,guy insisted on letting dog run free and onto her site. Her boyfriend asked guy to keep dog on his own site. This guy cursed them out using the blank you word and said im from NY this is my campground. My cousin packed up and left.I cant believe a state park would allow pitbulls ,maybe he didn't tell them. I told her she should have reported this guy to the rangers. But their camping was ruined and they left. Im going to tell her to call up and report this jerk.This campground is near Ithaca. This is the worst story I have ever heard about happening in a campground. My cousin and her friend are very friendly and nice.Anybody ever hear of this bad of a camper.

yep she should have ruined his week end ,turn the idiot in.

The dog being a pitbull is not the issue...The issue is that the jerk should have kept control of the dog and on a leash. Most parks have that rule. I would have reported him.

I've often wondered when you "rent" a campsite and follow the rules could you do more than complain (like press charges) of any other "renter" disrupting your peace that you paid for and trying to enjoy or get a refund?99% of people are good people but it only takes one jerk to mess up your enjoyment.

The very few times we have run into ugly situations like this we first talked to our neighbors and if that didn't solve it...we talked to the park ranger, manager, host, whatever.What we didn't do was let it ruin our trip by going home.(once even had very close camping neighbors plinking beer cans and bottles on their picnic table with a 22)

Karma has a way of catching up to jerks like this. He'll find himself on the other side of the fence (metaphorically speaking) someday.

Here in the CO SP's the rangers keep an eye for people not keeping their dogs on a leash--around here they can become bear/mountain lion/coyote bait pretty easy....

too late to complain. your cousin needs to learn to stick up for her rights.
she should have gone immediately to find a ranger and report this incident.

just leaving sure didn't fix his attitude and stupidity. now he will do it to someone else.
