Bad experience

As Dutchmen alluded to, we all end up in a less than desireable spot or with less than desirable neighbors.
No matter what you do it will happen. If you're there for the weekend just make the most of it and ride it out. If you are there for a long stay check your options within and outside of the CG.

Yeah it's also right next to the airport. Constant noise.

Ugh, you're at that noisy place just off the expressway. I see that cg from the highway and think, I'd never want to camp there!

After the first night, you might have told them to find you a better site or else give you a refund.

At this point all you can do is write a review and not go back. We have al stayed in places like that. Common courtesy is rare

I think the real issue is that they stuck me in a site surrounded by people who live at the campground year round. None of the campers around me have moved in a very, very long time. The other end of the campground has really nice pull through more suited to what I was looking for. The guy working on his truck was just working on his truck like we were in a residential area. You live and you learn.

Booked a site online with all my camper specifics, get there and the staff says my camper is too big so they cram me in a cul de sac with 10 other campers. Neighbors up until 10:30 grinding and banging on his truck. I call the office they tell me he's 'almost done' and it should be quiet soon. Rules specifically state no washing or maintenance on vehicles. Cable never hooked up. Not a big deal I don't watch TV a whole lot but why say you'll do something when you don't. What recourse do I have as far as getting satisfaction?

everybody reports to somebody. make a stink and don't back down.

Life is full of challenges, all we can do is look for the best in a troubling situation.

We are currently at a campsite in northern Indiana. According to the DNR website the campsite appeared to be okay and met all of our requirements. But when we got here this weekend found out that the site is really unlevel. But making the best of an awkward situation I am glad I always carry extra lumber for leveling and for the stabilizer jacks. Even after I got the trailer leveled left to right the campsite sloped downhill and sideways so much that I had trouble getting one of my weight distribution bars disconnected from the trailer. It was just way too much pressure. There again making the best of a difficult situation I used my head and simply rested the camper on the stabilizer jacks on the front raised the tongue jack put more blocks underneath and then continue to raise the trailer hitch until that weight distribution bar was loose enough it came off. We could have asked for a different campsite as there are many available at the moment but we decided to stay with what we had got everything taken care of and everything is great.

We're having a great weekend we are currently at Walmart in Peru Indiana my wife is looking for a new griddle because we decided that it was time for a second one. I'm sitting here in the truck with the dog because it's so hot outside and can't leave the dog alone. There again make the best of a difficult situation.

Sorry to hear that your situation wasn't so pleasant. But sounds like you did work out something that met your needs. I suggest enjoying what you have and when the time comes to move on, move on.

Did they give you an actual site number when you booked? Many campgrounds are on a first come/first served basis regardless of when you booked. If you didn't call and tell them you'd be arriving late they may have assumed that you weren't coming (which shouldn't happen until the following day IMHO). Did you ask if you could move if a site opened up? If they made no guarantees then other than posting a negative review I don't think you have much to stand on especially since you didn't address the issue right away. As far as the person working on their unit, it may have been a safety issue or in need of fixing in order for the person to be able to drive away.

It is Mingo RV park in Tulsa, OK. I will definitely post a review. I already did on their website. I'm thinking I'm kinda screwed since everything is paid and my week is almost up but it never hurts to try I suppose. We got in late and it was dark so pretty much my fault for not checking it out but there really wasn't anywhere else to go at the time. I can barely use my slide outs and awning is out of the question. It's getting windy too and dead branches are starting to fall on top. Thinking we're going to head out a day early.

You could start with telling us the name and location of the RV Park you are discussing. I assume you want others to avoid a the situation you encountered?

And, you can post your experience on RV Park Reviews.
