Campgrounds with Seasonals. Yes/No?
What's the general consensus. We try to avoid CG with seasonals (other than work campers/hosts). We've not had good experience when the parks have seasonals. It always seems they feel its "their" park...

It's not seasonal campers. It's campground owners who allow seasonals, with few rules and poor enforcement.
Normandy Farms, here in MASS, has set up about 20 seasonal sites this year. They poured concrete patios for each. They have VERY specific rules for what you are allowed to do on each site AND they enforce them. You also have to keep your rig clean and presentable. No items are allowed to be stored under your rig on the ground. All outdoor items must be on the concrete patio. Any camp signs, decorations, etc, must be attached to your camper. No lawn signs or lights allowed, nothing attached to trees whatsoever.
You are inspected periodically and you must be INVITED back the following year. If it weren't for the concrete patios, you would not be able to tell a seasonal site from a transient site at the CG.
We've been to other CG's locally that look more like camper salvage yards than CG's, because the ownership ignores everything in and around the park. I would not stay at those if they taped a $20 bill to the power post for me!
