Pet Peeves in RV Parks
At the risk of sounding like an old grouch, lets lay out our gripes about camping in RV Parks. I'm currently on Galvestion Texas for a month. Things were quiet until this truck and old camper pulled...

First summer I was retired I volunteered as CG host, month each at 2 state parks.
First weekend, first loud party. That Ranger handled it best. Got to site, and everybody's attention. Asked How many are in this group? Made a note in his book, then asked Are there any kids under 18? Another note.Is there anybody that can drive not drinking? Third note. They told me this is a easy job, I would spend nights at home. I have found there is only way to be sure I'm not called out a 3rd time is when I get the 2nd call I make 2. Nobody can drive, so I can't just order you out of park. I call Child Protective Service, to take the kids, and a bus to take the rest to jail
In the month I was there, parties where over shortly after quite hours started.
The other CG, Friday night loud party. Called Ranger, no response. Talked to other host, was told that was normal. Thru Sat, several campers complained. I went to office printed a few sheets, grabbed stack of blank paper. In my host vest, started where loud could see me, putting blank sheet on each picnic table. As I passed the site, somebody asked why I was skipping them, so I gave her the sheet that said FREE FOOD! FREE BEER! SITE # xx COME ON DOWN WHEN MUSIC STARTS!
You know the music never started? But park management was not impressed when somebody turned in the printed sheet.
