In some instances, I agree with the OP, but in others with WP.
I have stayed in KOA's with GREAT staff, and others that I'd never consider going back to.
Stayed in privately owned parks that are the same.
It's like any other business; some folks make it, some don't. Some have the temperament, some don't. Just like State/Federal CG's. The staff and maintenance usually set the bar.
OTOH, I've stayed in CG's (Lake Piru in California, for one) that I thought were great, but went back when the crops were in and camped next to a 15+ bunch of pickers who got up at 6:00 AM, worked 'til dark, and drank until 11:00 PM!
Some times the park staff would catch them, sometimes not.
Everything can also depend on the day and time you check in. You may come in right after Old Biscuit :B, and have to deal with frazzled staff, of after me, and the're all doing their OHM's...
