What's up with CGs?
Made a reservation today and immediately got this email from the CG management, with a "Read Receipt Requested": ----- No abusive, belligerent or loud activity will be allowed. ANY AND ALL ILLEGAL...

Parks have had rules like this for decades. Doesn't mean much of anything beyond, they are are organized.
The only difference now is with the internet and email, it's easy to head off people claiming they didn't realize what the rules are.
- Back in the day, you made a phone call for a reservation and they were on a board in the office or you got a copy of the rules when you arrived...easy to claim you didn't agree or know about them when making the reservation.
- Now, they can point to your email receipt as proof they made you aware of the rules ahead of time.
I'd much rather deal with clear consistent rules. Just dealt with an idiot owner. He went on a rampage dropping F-bombs left and right to several campers about where they were parking (sites are small and you have to park away from your site). So I went into the office to get clarification on where it's OK to park. I grabbed the map of the park off the bulletin board so I wouldn't be confused by the answer. The map had several parking areas listed. I asked where can we park. He said in any of the parking areas.
- One parking area had been converted to tent camping sites and I know he had chewed out people for parking there.
- Another area had been converted to 4 new camp sites...obviously not going to park on someone.
- He got angry (dropped a few more F-bombs) and told us to park past the bathhouse on the left. I said, "fine but do you really want us parking on the septic field?"
Suffice it to say, we left the park and likely won't be back...again, I'd rather have clear rules that are applied consistently.
