Campgrounds with Seasonals. Yes/No?

I can also see the campground owners side. The seasonals pay the bills, the transients give them spending money.

I'll be brave enough to not be politically correct. There are seasonal CG's and then there are seasonal CG's!:B

Location and region of the CGdoes make a big difference what you will experience.

In my travels in the Midwest where you do NOT see snowbirds or full timers in the heat of summer the "seasonal' CG's are packed with party down 'local' seasonals and they pay the bills for the CG.

They do what they damn well please with a nod from the CG owners. It is giant clic of campers with totally disregard for rules. And it has been my experience that they seem to go out on a limb to be rude to RV's coming in for the night because it means taking up an open space that they routinely use.

That said I learned not to stay at those type of CG's when I returned North during the summer. Most know about how ChainOLakes parks roll!:W

In the South what I found is very nice seasonal CG's BUT more often than not, they park you in between the seasonals in spots to fill in where a seasonal has pulled out. THAT is the worse. THEY really hate to see a MH parked next to them where a seasonal RV should be. And you are dodging concrete garden pads and holes from decks removed. Heck one CG the deck was still in place!

When I hit the road fulltime I found that CG's that had a distant separate area for seasonals and one for RV'ing campers were the most pleasant ones to stay at (probably for both types of campers), AND I found the seasonals there to be very friendly and actually stopped to ask if you needed help or to invite you over.

So from what I have experienced it matters 'where' the CG is in reference to region, and location within the CG, and what the surrounding activities are. And the bottom line IS whether the CG owner chooses to enforce the CG rules.

That's my spin on it from 'my' experience, others may be different! :C
