Google up the website. This camp owner links to the NYS DEC ban site, which clearly explains the ban and rules and distances that need to be observed. Then on the website it self she claims that no outside wood can be allowed in the park DUE TO THE DEC BAN. This is a bald faced lie.
NY allows unrestricted movement of wood with in fifty miles of its source.
So westernrvpark owner are you going to defend the lie?
This park owner is an opportunist money grabber. If she is so desperate for the extra 3 dollars that she can afford to alienate how many campers, perhaps should sell out.
Maybe she doesn't care to source all the outside wood brought in. If infected wood is brought in, it will be the park, not the camper who is long gone, that will be affected. Other than losing your exhaulted business, how do you know it has effected her business on iota? I am pretty sure if the wood met with your pricing approval you would find something else to gripe about, so yes, I will stand by my position that park is probably better off without your business. Any customer so cheap that $3.00 will cause them to go someplace else is a customer most businesses can afford to lose.
It's not a customer being "cheap" over $3. It's a customer who prefers to bring their business to other campgrounds that don't gouge. Bottom line, anyway you want to twist it, $8 is a crazy price for that amount of wood. If they are so worried about the trees in the campground then a sound business plan would be to offer wood at reasonable profit so campers are not apt to sneak wood in. The State allows properly kiln dried and labeled wood to be transported. The campground bans approved wood sold at half the price at a local store? Pure greed "anyway you want to twist it"....
The original poster's name was Yankeelover. Should he become a Red Sox fan because the price of a Coke and Hot Dog at Yankee Stadium is a whole lot more than at the local 7-11? I haven't been to the New Yankee Stadium, but I am sure it is like most other ball parks, they won't let you bring in your grill, your hotdogs and your cases of cola and beer. You have to buy their concessions, at their prices. Charging what the market will bear and creating a business environment where people have to use your services is what retailers do. You want the Yankees and Yankee Stadium you are going to pay the Yankee Stadium price. It is the way of the world. (I was going to ask if that makes the Steinbrenners evil, but that might have defeated my argument). And by the way, this thread was never about taking his business elsewhere, the poster just wanted to bash the policies the park of his choice has made. He is of course welcome to take his business elsewhere, it will probably be a situation where both parties are happy. He is at a park with cheap wood and the park can sell it's firewood to people who don't have a problem with the price.
