If you make any despairing remarks about the owners or management of a park, it will not be posted. We went through this a few months back with one of the rvparkreviews administrators/censors, person. You are only allowed to describe the park. But most of us seem to understand that the best park in existence can be ruined by bad management. Also keep in mind that the rvparkreviews is owned by a private company and they make their money by selling ads on the site.
THIS is why my review of a certain RV park in Michigan wasn't posted - kept coming back to me with odd reasons that it couldn't be posted. I wanted to warn folks that the park in question had been purchased by a Medical Marijuana support group. While the staff was certainly friendly and laid-back :-) campers were now being treated to live concerts Friday night, and all day Saturday until about 1 AM. (We enjoyed it, actually) I took an ice-cold shower because the new water heater "hadn't been installed yet". In MY mind, this is critical information. A former place that catered to church groups was now NOT-family-friendly? And because they also have a canoe/kayak livery and weren't maintaining the river, someone could get hurt?
Saying that the park was bought by "Medical Marijuana Support Group" does enter a gray area. Where would you draw the line? If the park was bought by a gay couple would that be appropriate to comment on? What if the owners were Jewish, or Asian, OK to say your rating of the park was influenced by their religion or ethnicity? There are causes I support, and that information is not material my business.
As for the cold shower, that may or may not be material to review. If the water heater was truly being replaced, the fact that there was no hot water is probably just a one off bout of bad luck and really shouldn't be reported as a problem. Just like it wouldn't be fair to say the power at a park didn't work at all, when in fact the power outage was caused by a downed power line and the power was restored when the line was fixed.
As for the Canoe livery/ maintaining the river part of your post, I don't understand it at all. Didn't know that any business had the obligation, ability or even the legal authority to maintain a river. And I sure feel that anytime you put any boat on any body of water, there is going to be some risks of injury.
