If I rent a campsite is it really mine??
well for the duration that I am there and paying for the site it is mine to use within the allowed usage set out by the park, and not for anyone else to use as they see fit like to cut through because they are to lazy to walk 50 feet more and cut through my neighbors site
as far as disturbing thy neighbor, well if you break the rules you might get a visit from the enforcer of the rules.
but no you don't own the site, and its not like renting an apartment, and you are subject to immediate eviction if you break the right rules.
just a comment on a previous post, when you submit a card and payment is made, in a private park, when you leave call your credit card company and tell them the transaction, and tell them no further transaction is authorized and to deny any attempts. there was a private park I stayed at in central Ontario, payed for everything up front, a 3 night stay, when we went to leave we as always make sure thew site is as clean if not cleaner than when we got there, no wrappers, cig butts, bottle caps, nothing, garbage to the dumpster, nothing but ashes in the firepit, a couple weeks later I am paying my credit cad to notice a second charge of $21.40($20 plus tax)(before the HST came out) I called them and they said we left garbage on the site and was a clean up charge, I argued it and even threatened to have them charged with fraud, but they stood firm and I was not going to go to the extent of loosing work time to fight over that small amount, so now I make sure nothing further can be charged to my card when I go to a private park, I like using cash but some won't let you in unless you use a card. What a racket, an extra $20 for every camper.
