Camp host right or wrong?

Only site open was disabled site (Oregon State Park). I am a disabled VET so the camp host said I could have the disabled site. I registered and placed registration slip on site post and we drove to town for dinner.

Upon returning our site was taken by another disabled VET and our registration slip was gone. I talked to the camp host and he said he did not know this other person had taken my spot, but he would not do anything about it.

I decided to just shake it off and went to Home Depot and spent the night, we were going to pick-up supplies there anyway.

I had forgot all about this till reading about people securing sites and not using them. It's not good for my blood pressure, I need to let it go again - sorry for the rant.
  • Sounds like you took the high ground, and I would be proud of that.

    Next time, though, you might leave a chair or something in the site.

    Thank you for your service!
  • Camp hosts cant do anything about that sort of situation. But he should have called the ranger on duty to help you sort out the situation.
    As OSP camp hosts we do not handle money, or pay envelopes. That is the paid rangers job. Did you have a copy of your pay envelop?
