Where would a person set up a tent other than on grass?
I am sorry you are dealing with so much hassle. I think it's unlikely that the whole world has become grouchier this year :). Maybe your park has become popular with a different crowd?
All equipment must be set up on the site, which is delineated by 12x12 beams. Unfortunately, the site is gravel and not real tent "friendly."
Why not grass? Because after a very short time of tents being on the grass, it dies, leaving a large mud pit. Not very pleasant. Seen it happen in some areas of the park.
I know I can call a ranger for enforcement, and one of two things will happen: 1. Immediate eviction without refund 2. Civil ticket of $136.00.
Has the park become popular with a different crowd? Good question, and a possibility. I will monitor the demographics.
My question is not about what to do etc., but rather is the amount or incidence of unhappy, rule breaking campers increased this year??
I do appreciate all responses.
Perhaps some more information should be provided on the web site or in campground literature, to the effect that some or all sites are not tent friendly. And if it is designated as a tent site, it needs to be tent friendly.
I would be annoyed and setting up on the grass too, if I paid for a tent site, and arrived to find no good spot for a tent.
